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.

Pros

"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

"The various integration options available in Amazon SageMaker, such as Firehose for connecting to data pipelines, are simple to use."
"The evolution from SageMaker Classic to SageMaker Studio, particularly the UI part of Studio, is commendable."
"The most valuable features include the ML operations that allow for designing, deploying, testing, and evaluating models."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"The most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker are its AutoML, feature store, and automated hyperparameter tuning capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is that you don't have to do any programming in order to perform some of your use cases."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
 

Cons

"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available."
"The model repository is a concern as models are stored on a bucket and there's an issue with versioning."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process."
"I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
"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."
