Featured Reviews

NeerajPokala - PeerSpot reviewer
Machine Learning Engineer at Macquarie Group
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.
Gary Cook - PeerSpot reviewer
Executive at Empowered Analytics
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

"SageMaker has provided everything."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"I appreciate the ease of use in Amazon SageMaker."
"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon SageMaker for me is the one-touch deployment, which simplifies the process greatly."
"The most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker are its AutoML, feature store, and automated hyperparameter tuning capabilities."
"The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework."
"SAP Predictive Analytics is better suited for business users because it hides the complexity of the model, whereas Microsoft Azure Machine Learning provides a lot more flexibility for technical professionals to tweak the model."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
 

Cons

"The solution requires a lot of data to train the model."
"The platform could be more accessible to users with basic coding skills, making it more intuitive and easier for beginners to use comfortably."
"Improvements are needed in terms of complexity, data security, and access policy integration in Amazon SageMaker."
"Lacking in some machine learning pipelines."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is an issue...In SageMaker, monitoring could be improved by supporting more data types other than JSON and CSV."
"The product must provide better documentation."
"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 license fee appears to be prohibitively expensive and overly secretive, leading our clients to opt for cloud-based solutions that only charge for data storage and processing time."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
"The product is expensive."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"The pricing is comparable."
"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."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
