    It allows for one-click processes and for things to be auto checked before they are moved through the process but through the system. It also makes training easy. I am able to train users on the basic fundamentals of the tool and how it is used very easily as it is fully managed on its own which is incredible.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • It's very good for the hardcore programmer, but a little bit complex for a data scientist or new hire who does not have a strong programming background.
    • Most of the popular library and ML frameworks are there, but we still have to depend on them for new releases.

    Amazon AWS
    Amazon SageMaker took the heavy lifting out of building and creating models. It allowed for our organization to use our current system for integration and essentially added on a feature to help all levels of Data scientists and IT professionals in our department and company as a whole. The training was simple as well.
