Create innovative assistants with seamless data integration for large-scale projects
The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker ( /products/amazon-sagemaker-reviews ), such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use. Tools like AWS Glue ( /products/aws-glue-reviews ) integrate well for data transformations. The Databricks ( /products/databricks-reviews ) integration aids data scientists and engineers. SageMaker is fully managed, offers high availability, flexibility with TensorFlow ( /products/tensorflow-reviews ), PyTorch ( /products/pytorch-reviews ), and MXNet ( /products/mxnet-reviews ), and comes with pre-trained algorithms for forecasting, anomaly detection, and more.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Amazon Augmented AI is its automation capability."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Augmented AI is its automation capability."
"The most tool's valuable feature, in my experience, is hyperparameter tuning. It allows us to test different parameters for the same model in parallel, which helps us quickly identify the configuration that yields the highest accuracy. This parallel computing capability saves us a lot of time."
"The technical support of the tool was good."
"I recommend SageMaker for ML projects if you need to build models from scratch."
"SageMaker offers functionalities like Jupyter Notebooks for development, built-in algorithms, model tuning, and options to deploy models on managed infrastructure."
"The technical support from AWS is excellent."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"SageMaker is a comprehensive platform where I can perform all machine learning activities."
"I have seen a return on investment, probably a factor of four or five."
 

Cons

"The development support, costing twenty-nine dollars per month, is almost ineffective, with long email response times."
"There needs to be continuous monitoring and improvement, especially regarding security issues, to address threats from hackers."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"I had to create custom templates for labeling multi-data sets, such as text and images, which was time-consuming."
"I would recommend having more walkthrough videos and articles beyond AWS Skill Builder."
"The solution is complex to use."
"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."
"The entry point can be a bit difficult. Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"The pricing is comparable."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
