Pecan vs. Amazon SageMaker | Pecan AI

It’s not about automation, it’s about tackling the real complexity of machine learning.

Sagemaker Canvas offers tools for skilled users, assuming they can handle ML complexity. Pecan, built for Data and BI Analysts, delivers an end-to-end experience from model ideation to predictions with no data science background needed.

Framing the Business Question
Predictive use cases aren’t as simple as they sound. Poorly defined use cases can lead to misleading predictions.
Pecan Feature
Provides a simple, conversational interface to help define predictive goals.
Pecan Competitor
Assumes you've already defined the problem clearly.
Picking the Right Data
Selecting the correct data is critical because your predictions rely on it.
Pecan Feature
Uses AI to automatically find the most relevant data.
Pecan Competitor
Assumes you already know what data to use.
Creating the Training Set
A good training set isn't just about putting tables together—it’s easy to get this step wrong.
Pecan Feature
Automatically builds reliable training sets tailored to your business case.
Pecan Competitor
Provides tools to handle data but expects you to know exactly what to do.
Enhancing the training set
Simply using raw data isn't enough. Additional insights significantly improve predictive accuracy.
Pecan Feature
Fully automates this process, improving your model’s accuracy effortlessly.
Pecan Competitor
Gives you manual tools but doesn't automate or  guide you through it.
Evaluating Your Model's Performance
Evaluating an ML model goes beyond statistical scores—you need to understand its real-world impact.
Pecan Feature
Provides straightforward guidance and actionable insights based on predictions.
Pecan Competitor
Offers basic evaluation metrics but leaves interpretation up to you.
Pricing
Multiple iterations may be required to reach production quality, making cost efficiency essential.
Pecan Feature
Built for cost-effective experimentation, allowing quicker iterations toward production.
Pecan Competitor
Can become expensive quickly with frequent iterations or large-scale projects.
Training and support
Predictive modeling isn’t just about the tech. There is know how on how to take predictive models and drive actual impact
Pecan Feature
Dedicated success teams, with vast experience and domain expertise.
Pecan Competitor
No dedicated training or support

Machine learning without the learning curve. (Yes, really.)
