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.

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

"There is no cessation from what I can see; whatever they have in the industry, they can solve 98% of the use cases."
"The few projects we have done have been promising."
"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."
"The technical support of the tool was good."
"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment."
"The intuitive interface and streamlined user experience make it easy to navigate and set up various tools like Visual Studio Code or Jupyter Notebook."
"The most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker are its AutoML, feature store, and automated hyperparameter tuning capabilities."
"The deployment is very good, where you only need to press a few buttons."
"In general, I would say that this is a good tool and I recommend it."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"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."
"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."

"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project, and from the portfolio level I can see what is happening on it, including indirect costs hitting each CIO portfolio and actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"In this sector of the market, it is indeed a better tool than the other data analytics tool, such as QlikView, for example."
 

Cons

"From the cost point of view, it's relatively on the higher side."
"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."
"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."
"I had to create custom templates for labeling multi-data sets, such as text and images, which was time-consuming."
"I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time."
"When starting a new session, the waiting time can be quite long, ranging from two to five minutes."
"The pricing for the Notebook endpoints is a bit high, but generally reasonable."
"The main challenge with Amazon SageMaker is the integrations."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"Whenever the client or someone was opening the report it would take around 15 to 20 minutes to open the first time."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"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."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is expensive."
"You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
"SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
"On average, customers pay about $300,000 USD per month."
"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."
"Amazon SageMaker is a very expensive product."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
