Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The few projects we have done have been promising.""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 superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework.""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.""The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment.""They are doing a good job of evolving.""The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far.""The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place."

"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."

Cons
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly.""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.""Lacking in some machine learning pipelines.""I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time.""Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker.""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.""There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
  • "SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
  • "Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
  • "I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
  • "There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
  • "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."
  • "You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
