Pros
"I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good.

Cons
"The solution is complex to use.""There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks.""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.""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.""AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available.""The product must provide better documentation.""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."

More Amazon SageMaker Cons →

"The area that needs improvement would be the organization of the materials. It could be clearer and more systematic. It would be good if the layout was clear and we could search the models easily.""Implementing a cloud system to showcase historical data would be beneficial."
