Improves team collaboration with advanced feature sharing but needs a better user experience
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. Additionally, dealing with frequent UI updates can be challenging, especially for infrastructure architects like myself. It involves effort to migrate to new UIs, making the updates not seamless. User auditing requires enhancements as tracking operations performed by users can be difficult due to dynamic IP validation and role propagation.

Open-source, easy to integrate, and perfectly tailored to the Movidius chipset
Generally, when you deploy edge products, it's really about latency. It's about getting that camera input, being able to process it, extracting the information you need, and getting the solution back to the person who made the request. Although I'm not necessarily saying its latency or accuracy is bad, it's always something that can be improved upon. By focusing on improving these areas, they can make the overall solution even better. At this point, the product could probably just use a greater integration with more machine learning model tools. However, that's not advice from experience per se. That's always just helpful in general. To be able to incorporate more models into the product makes it stronger. Therefore, to be clear, it's not coming from a point of a current deficiency. It's just a general comment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SageMaker is a comprehensive platform where I can perform all machine learning activities."
"The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place."
"The technical support from AWS is excellent."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"The most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker are its AutoML, feature store, and automated hyperparameter tuning capabilities."
"It's user-friendly for business teams as they can understand many aspects through the AWS interface."
"I appreciate the ease of use in Amazon SageMaker."
"The initial setup is quite simple."
"The features for model comparison, the feature for model testing, evaluation, and deployment are very nice. It can work almost with all the models."
"The inferencing and processing capabilities are quite beneficial for our requirements."
 

Cons

"The dashboard could be improved by including more features and providing more information about deployed models, their drift, performance, scaling, and customization options."
"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."
"Improvements are needed in terms of complexity, data security, and access policy integration in Amazon SageMaker."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"The training modules could be enhanced. We had to take in-person training to fully understand SageMaker, and while the trainers were great, I think more comprehensive online modules would be helpful."
"Lacking in some machine learning pipelines."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."
"The pricing of the solution is an issue...In SageMaker, monitoring could be improved by supporting more data types other than JSON and CSV."
"At this point, the product could probably just use a greater integration with more machine learning model tools."
"It has some disadvantages because when you're working with very complex models, neural networks if OpenVINO cannot convert them automatically and you have to do a custom layer and later add it to the model. It is difficult."
"The model optimization is a little bit slow — it could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"The product is expensive."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"We didn't have to pay for any licensing with Intel OpenVINO. Everything is available on their site and easily downloadable for free."
