We performed a comparison between Amazon SageMaker and Starburst Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code."
"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's ability to improve work at my organization stems from the ensemble model and a combination of various models it provides."
"Allows you to create API endpoints."
"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment."
"We have noticed improvements in performance using Starburst Enterprise. It handles complex data, including reading and partitioning files. We can add a new catalog to Starburst Enterprise by providing connection details and service account information. This allows us to integrate with existing tools, such as the Snowflake database, which we use for data protection in our project."
"The solution requires a lot of data to train the model."
"The solution is complex to use."
"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."
"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."
"Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker."
"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 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."
"Starburst Enterprise could improve by offering additional features similar to those provided by other SQL query tools. For example, incorporating functionalities like pivot tables would make it more feasible to use."
