Pros
"The tool has made client management easier where patients need to upload their health records and we can use the tool to understand details on treatment date, amount, etc.""The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service.""We were able to use the product to automate processes.""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.""They are doing a good job of evolving.""The deployment is very good, where you only need to press a few buttons.""The few projects we have done have been promising.""The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code."

Cons
"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available.""The solution needs to be cheaper since it now charges per document for extraction.""The solution requires a lot of data to train the model.""Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier.""I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time.""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 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.""Lacking in some machine learning pipelines."

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."
