Saurabh Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Gary Cook - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 is a comprehensive platform where I can perform all machine learning activities."
"I recommend SageMaker for ML projects if you need to build models from scratch."
"The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place."
"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is SageMaker Studio."
"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."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, one improvement for Amazon SageMaker would be to offer serverless GPUs. Currently, we incur costs on an hourly basis. It would be beneficial if the tool could provide pay-as-you-go pricing based on endpoints."
"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."
"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 documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"The product must provide better documentation."
"The solution is complex to use."
"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."
"Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
