Featured Reviews

Hemant Paralkar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
VS
A straightforward initial setup and good reporting but needs better documentation
It would be ideal if it could be put onto the NMP where you can make more of an analysis. Right now, people don't have enough time to go through the report and make an analysis. It should provide the information of what is on the report into some kind of a dialogue form. Then, a person can ask certain questions and it could interactively give the required report. In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues. If you are doing certain operations of RDBMS, you suffer in terms of the latency of the data. That can be improved upon. Users should be able to cross tables of the web pages they are developing on Spotfire and this needs to be really easy and convenient. Right now, you need to do a lot of tweaks. The solution should be more user-friendly and require fewer tweaks, extensions, and workarounds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We were able to use the product to automate processes."
"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"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 features include the ML operations that allow for designing, deploying, testing, and evaluating models."
"I recommend SageMaker for ML projects if you need to build models from scratch."
"I have seen a return on investment, probably a factor of four or five."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project. From the portfolio level, I can see what is happening on it. That is a really important feature. I can look at indirect costs, for example, which are hitting each CIO portfolio. It's good to be able to see actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
 

Cons

"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"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."
"I would suggest that Amazon SageMaker provide free slots to allow customers to practice, such as a free slot to try out working with a Sandbox."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"The solution needs to be cheaper since it now charges per document for extraction."
"The model repository is a concern as models are stored on a bucket and there's an issue with versioning."
"In general, improvements are needed on the performance side of the product's graphical user interface-related area since it consumes a lot of time for a user."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is comparable."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"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 product is expensive."
