We performed a comparison between Amazon SageMaker and Dremio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"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 that you don't have to do any programming in order to perform some of your use cases."
"We've had experience with unique ML projects using SageMaker. For example, we're developing a platform similar to ChatGPT that requires models. We utilize Amazon SageMaker to create endpoints for these models, making accessing them convenient as needed."
"The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far."
"We've had no problems with SageMaker's stability."
"We were able to use the product to automate processes."
"They are doing a good job of evolving."
"The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"We primarily use Dremio to create a data framework and a data queue."
"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it."
"Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process."
"The training modules could be enhanced. We had to take in-person training to fully understand SageMaker, and while the trainers were great, I think more comprehensive online modules would be helpful."
"SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services."
"Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker."
"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."
"The solution is complex to use."
"I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"They have an automated tool for building SQL queries, so you don't need to know SQL. That interface works, but it could be more efficient in terms of the SQL generated from those things. It's going through some growing pains. There is so much value in tools like these for people with no SQL experience. Over time, Dermio will make these capabilities more accessible to users who aren't database people."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
