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.
Hamada Farag - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization and integration empower diverse AI applications
We are familiar with most Google Cloud services, particularly infrastructure services, storage, compute, AI tools, containerization, GCP containerization, and cloud SQL. We are familiar with approximately eighty percent of Google's services, primarily related to infrastructure, AI, containers, backup, storage, and compute. We are familiar with Gemini AI and Google Vertex AI, and we have completed some exercises and cases with our customers for Google AI. We use automation in machine learning. I work with a team where everyone has specific responsibilities. We have design and development processes in place. Based on my experience, I would rate Google Vertex AI a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ability to store artifacts and gather reports and measures from experiments."
"The most tool's valuable feature, in my experience, is hyperparameter tuning. It allows us to test different parameters for the same model in parallel, which helps us quickly identify the configuration that yields the highest accuracy. This parallel computing capability saves us a lot of time."
"The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far."
"The tool has made client management easier where patients need to upload their health records and we can use the tool to understand details on treatment date, amount, etc."
"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment."
"Amazon SageMaker is highly valuable for managing ML workloads. It connects to AWS cloud resources, making it easy to deploy algorithms and collaborate using tools like GitLab. It offers a wide range of Python libraries and other necessary tools for modelling and algorithms."
"The most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker are its AutoML, feature store, and automated hyperparameter tuning capabilities."
"Google Vertex AI is an out-of-the-box and very easy-to-use solution."
"The integration of AutoML features streamlines our machine-learning workflows."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."
"Google Vertex AI is better for deployment, configuration, delivery, licensing, and integration compared to other AI platforms."
"The most valuable feature we've found is the model garden, which allows us to deploy and use various models through the provided endpoints easily."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quite flexible, and some of the services are almost low-code, with no-code services, so it gives agents flexibility to build the use cases according to the operational needs."
 

Cons

"While integration is available, there are concerns about how secure this integration is, particularly when exposing data to SageMaker."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"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."
"Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process."
"When starting a new session, the waiting time can be quite long, ranging from two to five minutes."
"There is room for improvement in the collaboration with serverless architecture, particularly integration with AWS Lambda."
"The product must provide better documentation."
"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"I'm not sure if I have suggestions for improvement."
"I've noticed that using chat activity often presents a broader range of options and insights for a well-constructed question. Improving the knowledge base could be a key aspect for enhancement—expanding the information sources to enhance the generation process."
"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"It takes a considerable amount of time to process, and I understand the technology behind why it takes this long, but this is something that could be reduced."
"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price. The solution is priced reasonably. There is no additional cost to be paid in excess of the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"I think almost every tool offers a decent discount. In terms of credits or other stuff, every cloud provider provides a good number of incentives to onboard new clients."
"The Versa AI offers attractive pricing. With this pricing structure, I can leverage various opportunities to bring value to my business. It's a positive aspect worth considering."
"The solution's pricing is moderate."
"The price structure is very clear"
