See how Saturn Cloud stacks up against SageMaker
Saturn Cloud is scalable, more affordable, and integrates easily.
Platform Features | SageMaker | |
|---|---|---|
ML apps and dashboards | SageMaker has no application or dashboard capability built in. | Saturn Cloud supports flexible application and dashboard deployment including fine grained access control and collaboration for editors and viewers. All web frameworks are supported, including Streamlit, Panel, Bokeh, Plotly and Shiny. |
Compute Clusters | Only supports training and inference jobs. | Supports parallel training and inference jobs. Also supports advanced compute clusters like Dask and Ray1. |
Security | SageMaker is only secure if you set it up correctly. | Secure out of the box with many additional upgrades depending on your needs:
|
Admin and cost controls | No admin or cost management tools. | Saturn Cloud has the ability to constraint instance types, budgets and capabilities for users. Advanced cost management tools give you transparency into your organizations usage. Automatic shutoff prevents wasted spend. |
Customer Support | AWS support is acceptable. | Saturn Cloud support is truly comprehensive. We will help you figure out conda solve errors, dask timeout issues, debug Pandas issues and more. |

Maciej Buckcznski
Technology Director, Darkhorse Analytics
Saturn makes it easy for our analysts to spin up Jupyter servers of any type on demand. The flexibility in being able to define custom docker images, startup scripts, etc. is phenomenal. I love the integration with Prefect Cloud, as it lets us seamlessly run our data ingestion pipeline using the same code and in the same environment as our analysts do their work.
Daniel B
Lead Course Designer
Saturn Cloud makes my work so much easier. When I sit down at the beginning of the day, I just want my environment to work. I want my favorite packages installed and available on demand. I want it to be easy to scale my workspace and have it shut down automatically when I'm done. Saturn Cloud solves all of that. Their customer service is also top-notch.
Greg Ringering
Quantitative Investment Research, Advent Health
We had a portfolio backtest taking nearly 20 minutes to run before the team at Saturn Cloud took a look at it. Between advising us on our code and dispersing the work across parallel processing via Dask, this backtest was completed at a rate several hundred times faster, taking only a few seconds to execute.
Seth Weisberg
Principle ML Scientist, Senseye
Taking runtime down from 60 days to 11 hours is such an incredible improvement. We are able to fit in many more iterations on our models. This has a significant positive impact on the effectiveness of our product, which takes many iterations to perform at the standard necessary for our customers.
