Saurabh Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Create innovative assistants with seamless data integration for large-scale projects
The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use. Tools like AWS Glue integrate well for data transformations. The Databricks integration aids data scientists and engineers. SageMaker is fully managed, offers high availability, flexibility with TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MXNet, and comes with pre-trained algorithms for forecasting, anomaly detection, and more.
RichardXu - PeerSpot reviewer
The platform organizes workflows visually and efficiently
One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability. It allows us to organize a workflow efficiently. The platform has a visual interface, making it much easier for educated professionals to organize their work. This feature is useful because it simplifies tasks and eliminates the need for a data scientist. If you are knowledgeable about AI, you can directly write using primitive tools like Pantera flow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. However, Dataiku makes this process much easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The deployment is very good, where you only need to press a few buttons."
"The intuitive interface and streamlined user experience make it easy to navigate and set up various tools like Visual Studio Code or Jupyter Notebook."
"SageMaker supports building, training, and deploying AI models from scratch, which is crucial for my ML project."
"The technical support of the tool was good."
"I have seen a return on investment, probably a factor of four or five."
"The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use."
"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The evolution from SageMaker Classic to SageMaker Studio, particularly the UI part of Studio, is commendable."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
 

Cons

"The product must provide better documentation."
"The solution is complex to use."
"Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"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."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"Improvements are needed in terms of complexity, data security, and access policy integration in Amazon SageMaker."
"There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks."
"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."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"The technical support from Dataiku is not good. The support team does not provide adequate assistance, and there are concerns about billing requests."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"In terms of pricing, I'd also rate it ten out of ten because it's been beneficial compared to other solutions."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"The annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
