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

"I appreciate the ease of use in Amazon SageMaker."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"The technical support of the tool was good."
"The technical support from AWS is excellent."
"The most valuable features are the ability to store artifacts and gather reports and measures from experiments."
"SageMaker offers functionalities like Jupyter Notebooks for development, built-in algorithms, model tuning, and options to deploy models on managed infrastructure."
"The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is the pricing, which can be quite high."
"Improvement is needed in the no-code and low-code capabilities of Amazon SageMaker. This would empower citizen data scientists to utilize the tool more effectively since many data scientists do not have a core development background."
"Improvements are needed in terms of complexity, data security, and access policy integration in Amazon SageMaker."
"The payment and monitoring metrics are a bit confusing not only for Amazon SageMaker but also for the range of other products that fall under AWS, especially for a new user of the product."
"Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"I would recommend having more walkthrough videos and articles beyond AWS Skill Builder."
"Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker."
"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

"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"The pricing is complicated as it is based on what kind of machines you are using, the type of storage, and the kind of computation."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
