Natu Lauchande - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and manage, but the documentation does not have a lot of information
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.

Easy to use and good for disaster recovery planning
I use the tool for real-time data synchronization. Replicate is a beneficial tool for disaster recovery planning. The use cases attached to Replicate are very direct. I have used other products in the past, but they are not as efficient as Replicate. I feel Replicate is easier to use than other tools. Replicate has impacted our company's data integration processes by twenty to thirty percent. Overall, the product is easy to use. The product was also easy to configure. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it for real-time data integration. The product has been integrated into our company's existing infrastructure. I haven't done the integrations but I know that it was performed by someone else. I rate the tool an eight and a half out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Amazon SageMaker for me is the one-touch deployment, which simplifies the process greatly."
"We've had experience with unique ML projects using SageMaker. For example, we're developing a platform similar to ChatGPT that requires models. We utilize Amazon SageMaker to create endpoints for these models, making accessing them convenient as needed."
"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."
"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The Autopilot feature is really good because it's helpful for people who don't have much experience with coding or data pipelines. When we suggest SageMaker to clients, they don't have to go through all the steps manually. They can leverage Autopilot to choose variables, run experiments, and monitor costs. The results are also pretty accurate."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is SageMaker Studio."
"The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework."
"The most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker are its AutoML, feature store, and automated hyperparameter tuning capabilities."
"Replicate is a beneficial tool for disaster recovery planning."
 

Cons

"The model repository is a concern as models are stored on a bucket and there's an issue with versioning."
"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."
"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."
"I would recommend having more walkthrough videos and articles beyond AWS Skill Builder."
"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."
"One area where Amazon SageMaker could improve is its pricing. The high costs can drive companies to explore other cloud options. Additionally, while generally good, the updates sometimes come with bugs, and the documentation could be much better. More examples and clearer guidance would be helpful."
"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."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."
"I feel that the marketing activities of the product are an area of concern...Replicate is a very beneficial tool that should be marketed well enough in a good way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"The product is expensive."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"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."
"The pricing is comparable."
"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."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
