Saurabh Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Create innovative assistants with seamless data integration for large-scale projects
The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use. Tools like AWS Glue integrate well for data transformations. The Databricks integration aids data scientists and engineers. SageMaker is fully managed, offers high availability, flexibility with TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MXNet, and comes with pre-trained algorithms for forecasting, anomaly detection, and more.

Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"They offer insights into everyone making calls in my organization."
"The solution's ability to improve work at my organization stems from the ensemble model and a combination of various models it provides."
"We've had no problems with SageMaker's stability."
"The feature I found most valuable is the data catalog, as it assists with the lineage of data through the preparation pipeline."
"SageMaker is a comprehensive platform where I can perform all machine learning activities."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
 

Cons

"I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."
"In my opinion, one improvement for Amazon SageMaker would be to offer serverless GPUs. Currently, we incur costs on an hourly basis. It would be beneficial if the tool could provide pay-as-you-go pricing based on endpoints."
"Lacking in some machine learning pipelines."
"Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker."
"One area for improvement is the pricing, which can be quite high."
"While integration is available, there are concerns about how secure this integration is, particularly when exposing data to SageMaker."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable."
"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."
"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
