Hemant Paralkar

Lead Consultant at Saama

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.

Gary Cook

Executive at Empowered Analytics

Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation

My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

"The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place."

"We were able to use the product to automate processes."

"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."

More Amazon SageMaker pros

"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."

"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."

Cons

"The solution is complex to use."

"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available."

"Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process."

"I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time."

"I had to create custom templates for labeling multi-data sets, such as text and images, which was time-consuming."

"The solution requires a lot of data to train the model."

"For any cloud provider, the cost has to be substantially reduced, especially in the case of Amazon SageMaker, which is extremely expensive for huge workloads."

More Amazon SageMaker cons

"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."

"I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
