Python AWS & AI Expert at a tech consulting company
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.

Good performance, reporting, and data visualization
The two similar solutions that I have used are MicroStrategy and Tableau. Tableau is pretty similar and it would be difficult for me to point out the differences. With MicroStrategy, it has a great feature where you build the representation in the database and it then the tool creates SQL queries by itself. There are more differences between these tools but this is the one essential difference.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"The support is very good with well-trained engineers whose training curriculum is rigorous."
"The evolution from SageMaker Classic to SageMaker Studio, particularly the UI part of Studio, is commendable."
"The deployment is very good, where you only need to press a few buttons."
"The most valuable features include the ML operations that allow for designing, deploying, testing, and evaluating models."
"We've had no problems with SageMaker's stability."
"I recommend SageMaker for ML projects if you need to build models from scratch."
"We were able to use the product to automate processes."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project. From the portfolio level, I can see what is happening on it. That is a really important feature. I can look at indirect costs, for example, which are hitting each CIO portfolio. It's good to be able to see actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
 

Cons

"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."
"The model repository is a concern as models are stored on a bucket and there's an issue with versioning."
"One area for improvement is the pricing, which can be quite high."
"The entry point can be a bit difficult. Having all documentation easily accessible on the front page of SageMaker would be a great improvement."
"Improvement is needed in the no-code and low-code capabilities of Amazon SageMaker."
"Lacking in some machine learning pipelines."
"The payment and monitoring metrics are a bit confusing not only for Amazon SageMaker but also for the range of other products that fall under AWS, especially for a new user of the product."
"When starting a new session, the waiting time can be quite long, ranging from two to five minutes."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
"The pricing could be better, especially for querying. The per-query model feels expensive."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"The solution is relatively cheaper."
"The product is expensive."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"The cost offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model. It depends on the instance that you do."
