SageMaker Studio sounds very interesting. Feature Store and data pipeline features are very interesting. The product is a one-stop shop. It allows people without much engineering knowledge to try out and deploy models in environments similar to the production environments. The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment. It is easy to manage compared to when things were in different components of AWS. Amazon SageMaker is in AWS, so I need not pay two bills. It is one less system to manage, so it is easier.

The product provides the ability to develop AI models relatively quickly. My team develops the models using the tool. We use AI quite extensively in our business. We use the tool for predictive analytics. It helps predict which trade might fail based on historical data. Automatic Model Tuning helps improve the productivity of the investment operation team. Typically, an analyst spends about 45% of their time collecting, organizing, and ingesting data. We were able to use the product to automate processes.

There are two areas in SageMaker that need improvement. Firstly, when starting a new session, the waiting time can be quite long, ranging from two to five minutes. Secondly, the integration with Snowflake is not optimal. I face challenges in authentication, requiring multiple steps to achieve single sign-on. This process feels somewhat cumbersome.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Nov 11, 2024

Valuable Features

"SageMaker is a comprehensive platform where I can perform all machine learning activities."
"The feature I found most valuable is the data catalog, as it assists with the lineage of data through the preparation pipeline."
"SageMaker offers functionalities like Jupyter Notebooks for development, built-in algorithms, model tuning, and options to deploy models on managed infrastructure."

Room for Improvement

"I had to create custom templates for labeling multi-data sets, such as text and images, which was time-consuming."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."
"The user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of SageMaker and AWS, in general, need improvement as they are not intuitive and require substantial time to learn how to use specific services."

Pricing

"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
