Easy to use and manage, but the documentation does not have a lot of information
We use the product for deploying machine learning models. We use it for the machine learning model development process We're currently implementing a project on a cross-selling model. It is like a standard XGBoost model. I’m evaluating the tool to see whether it will improve the workflow.…

Great support, good availability, and seamless integration capabilities
One of the features I appreciate the most about Saturn Cloud is its seamless integration with Jupyter notebooks. It provides an interface that I am familiar with and use extensively. It makes it easy for me to run, track, and debug my RL models. The second feature I like is the ability to easily scale up and down the resources (like GPUs and CPUs), providing a flexible and cost-effective solution. The third feature that is useful is the availability of pre-configured environments. It saves a lot of time and hassle, especially when working with complex setups involving packages like CUDA and PyTorch.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"Some of the most valuable features that we are using with some business models are machine learning algorithms, statistical models given to us by the business, and getting data from the database or text files."
"The most valuable feature of IBM SPSS Statistics is all the functionality it provides. Additionally, it is simple to do the five-way analysis that you can into multidimensional setup space. It's the multidimensional space facility that is most useful."
"In terms of the features I've found most valuable, I'd say the duration, the correlation, and of course the nonparametric statistics. I use it for reliability and survival analysis, time series, regression models in different solutions, and different types of solutions."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"They have many existing algorithms that we can use and use effectively to analyze and understand how to put our data to work to improve what we do."
"The solution has numerous valuable features. We particularly like custom tabs. It's very useful. We end up analyzing a lot of software data, so features related to custom tabs are really helpful."
"SPSS can handle whatever you throw at it, whether your data set contains 10,000, 100,000, or a million objects. It's like the heavy artillery of analytical tools."
"SageMaker offers functionalities like Jupyter Notebooks for development, built-in algorithms, model tuning, and options to deploy models on managed infrastructure."
"The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework."
"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The feature I found most valuable is the data catalog, as it assists with the lineage of data through the preparation pipeline."
"The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far."
"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment."
"The technical support of the tool was good."
"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."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
 

Cons

"Each algorithm could be more adaptable to some industry-specific areas, or, in some cases, adapted for maintenance."
"The technical support should be improved."
"The solution needs more planning tools and capabilities."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"I would like SPSS to improve its integration with other data-filing IBM tools. I also think its duration with data, utilization, and graphics could be better."
"I feel that when it comes to conducting multiple analyses, there could be more detailed information provided. Currently, the software gives a summary and an overview, but it would be beneficial to have specific details for each product or variable."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could improve the visual outputs where you are producing, for example, a graph for a company board of directors, or an advert."
"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."
"SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services."
"Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is an issue...In SageMaker, monitoring could be improved by supporting more data types other than JSON and CSV."
"The solution is complex to use."
"The solution needs to be cheaper since it now charges per document for extraction."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SPSS is an expensive piece of software because it's incredibly complex and has been refined over decades, but I would say it's fairly priced."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"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 is comparable."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
