Automation has transformed document review and reduces manual effort in financial workflows
There will be many features in Amazon SageMaker itself, but we don't know whether the feature is there or not, particularly the documentation part. Whatever the new releases will be, they will not post very fast. It is very easy to deploy Amazon SageMaker. The documentation is also very good. It is good because we are able to collaborate with our notebooks. At a time we can develop simultaneously and work on different use cases in the same notebook itself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SageMaker has provided everything."
"The evolution from SageMaker Classic to SageMaker Studio, particularly the UI part of Studio, is commendable."
"The tangible benefits we have observed from using Amazon SageMaker include improved time to insight and generally the common stack that is easier to support over time."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code."
"The most valuable features are the ability to store artifacts and gather reports and measures from experiments."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
 

Cons

"The pricing for the Notebook endpoints is a bit high, but generally reasonable."
"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."
"They could add features such as managing environments, experiment management across those environments, and the integration with training datasets as you go through those experiments."
"The dashboard could be improved by including more features and providing more information about deployed models, their drift, performance, scaling, and customization options."
"The user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of SageMaker and AWS, in general, need improvement as they are not intuitive and require substantial time to learn how to use specific services."
"Amazon SageMaker can make it simpler to manage the data flow from start to finish, such as by integrating data, usingthe machine, and deploying models. This process could be more user-friendly compared to other tools. I would also like to improve integration with Bedrock and the LLM connection for AWS."
"There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"Customer service is below average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"The pricing is comparable."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"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."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Amazon SageMaker?
If you manage it effectively, their pricing is reasonable. It's similar to anything in the cloud; if you don't manage it properly, it can be expensive, but if you do, it's fine.
What needs improvement with Amazon SageMaker?
It takes some work. We need to refer to the documentation. The documentation is good regarding what other providers we are able to connect with. Out of five, I can say 3.5.
