We performed a comparison between Amazon SageMaker and MathWorks Matlab 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 solution's ability to improve work at my organization stems from the ensemble model and a combination of various models it provides."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code."
"Feature Store, CodeCommit, versioning, model control, and CI/CD pipelines are the most valuable features in Amazon SageMaker."
"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"The Autopilot feature is really good because it's helpful for people who don't have much experience with coding or data pipelines. When we suggest SageMaker to clients, they don't have to go through all the steps manually. They can leverage Autopilot to choose variables, run experiments, and monitor costs. The results are also pretty accurate."
"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment."
"The few projects we have done have been promising."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the Simulink environment. This feature provides an incredible capability to visually represent the system behavior before creating the code. It allows you to see the flow and interactions of the system, which is extremely beneficial for software development. With this visual representation, you can better understand the system's behavior, make necessary adjustments, and ensure maintenance and updates. This capability is why I love working with the product."
"Personally for me, because I do a lot of development, I like that it is easy to test mathematical algorithms with several matrix calculations. It's perfect for that."
"Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker."
"In general, improvements are needed on the performance side of the product's graphical user interface-related area since it consumes a lot of time for a user."
"The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to be cheaper since it now charges per document for extraction."
"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."
"The solution requires a lot of data to train the model."
"I would suggest that Amazon SageMaker provide free slots to allow customers to practice, such as a free slot to try out working with a Sandbox."
"Scalability to handle big data can be improved by making integration with networks such as Hadoop and Apache Spark easier."
"In the area of improvement, sometimes there are issues with the speed of MathWorks Matlab, particularly in the Simulink environment. The tool's latest versions can be slow to open, taking significant time to load. Additionally, saving data and integrating models can also be time-consuming processes."
"To make use of the GPU, you have to have an Nvidia card. What I would want it to do is to run in Next Generation with Intel or AMD, and not just with Nvidia."
Amazon SageMaker is ranked 5th in Data Science Platforms with 19 reviews while MathWorks Matlab is ranked 15th in Data Science Platforms with 2 reviews. Amazon SageMaker is rated 7.4, while MathWorks Matlab is rated 8.6. The top reviewer of Amazon SageMaker writes "Easy to use and manage, but the documentation does not have a lot of information". On the other hand, the top reviewer of MathWorks Matlab writes "Has Simulink feature which helps with visual representations ". Amazon SageMaker is most compared with Databricks, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, Domino Data Science Platform and Dataiku, whereas MathWorks Matlab is most compared with Databricks, IBM SPSS Statistics, TIBCO Data Science, Anaconda and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio.
