It is very well suited for image processing and recognition based applications and can be easily used using API calls without actually. writing any code for image processing. It can be used with any professional software development as it is built with so much precision. I would not suggest it for a sole feature-based application like image tagging only because for that you can create your own algorithm specific to a domain you want.

Amazon Sagemaker suits well in areas of data science and Machine learnings where medium to high-volume data is to be used for analysis. For a lean and platform agnostic deployment, it provides kubernetes integration to containerize the solution and deploy on any platform. It is one of the best solution for technical users for training Machine Learning models.

Pros
  • Image tagging is very good.
  • Object detection is precise.
  • Video tagging has become very easy using Rekognition.

  • SageMaker is useful as a managed Jupyter notebook server. Using the notebook instances' IAM roles to grant access to private S3 buckets and other AWS resources is great. Using SageMaker's lifecycle scripts and AWS Secrets Manager to inject connection strings and other secrets is great.
  • SageMaker is good at serving models. The interface it provides is often clunky, but a managed, auto-scaling model server is powerful.
  • SageMaker is opinionated about versioning machine learning models and useful if you agree with its opinions.

Usability
Very much suitable for many applications where the image processing features are secondary and independent of any domain. This makes it a general solution and the recognition features are returned in a JSON object in response to the API called made which is a very simple process.

We have not invested in another machine learning software at this time and so far this has proved very successful with our machine learning teams. As mentioned, I am training these individuals simply on the fundamentals of the software and using it/customizing it for their needs. It has been very easy to do this and has gotten great reviews across the organization so far.

Return on Investment
  • The best thing it made our work fast.
  • It reduces the chance of failure of a project which is based on image or video processing.
  • We can assign anyone in our team to work on this as it very easy to use.

  • Using SageMaker, we can truly implement 'fail early, learn fast,' using an on-demand server for training.
  • It also saves your money from investing in a physical server for very rare use.
  • However, the pricing is high, but it will cost you only for what you use.
