Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We were able to use the product to automate processes.""The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place.""The most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker for me is the model deployment service.""The few projects we have done have been promising.""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 is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code.""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.""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."

"My preferred aspects are natural language processing and question-answering.""What I find the most valuable about Hugging Face is that I can check all the models on it and see which ones have the best performance without using another platform."

Cons
"There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks.""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.""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 solution is complex to use.""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 product must provide better documentation.""Amazon SageMaker could improve in the area of hyperparameter tuning by offering more automated suggestions and tips during the tuning process.""I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time."

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."
