Suitable for individuals who don't have access to a lot of computing power for ML/DL
What do you like best about the product?
From an ML practitioner standpoint, Saturn Cloud is generally easy to use. It offers a wealth of high-quality tutorials for setting up everything and features a very user-friendly UI, making it particularly suitable for beginners in cloud services who, at the beginning of a project, prefer not to be overwhelmed by numerous options (though it can become complex if desired!). Additionally, the integration with GitHub is a top-notch feature. The free tier is generous for practitioners who wish to experiment with more complex ML/DL tasks, providing access to powerful computing resources like GPUs.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, I haven't encountered anything I particularly dislike since my projects don't scale too much. There are some minor bugs, but nothing that is serious for my usual workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides significant guidance in setting up a simple, cloud-hosted machine learning server for training a deep learning model without delving into intricacies, and so far is well-documented.

Using Saturn Cloud as a student
What do you like best about the product?
I have tried Saturn Cloud to perform some basic Deep Reinforcement Learning, and I am pretty pleased with what I have seen: the interface is very clean and one can create and use resources even without previous experience, since there is a good documentation.
In addition, on can connect to GitHub, create organizations and share files in a guided and easy manner. The building of the environments and the availability, for what I have seen, are excellent, and the service can be used at any time for as long as you need.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of the main drawbacks of Saturn Cloud for me has been a lack of clarity regarding the paid options it offers, and the fact that when you first subscribe to the premium tier they charge five dollars (which you can use as computation time, it is just that I did not see it announced). In addition, I think that they should be more clear regarding the auto-shutoff that the resources have, especially in the free tier, since if you do not watch out and just leave some model training to try the service, your resource will close automatically within one hour.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saturn Cloud provides an easy-to-use and completely integrated cloud computing solution for those who want to train some models and exceed the needs that some free services, sucha as Google Colaboratory, offer. In my case, I needed more powerful and reliable processors, as well as an actual structured storage. Even though my university offers some options, they are limited and not comparable to what Saturn Cloud offered: not only the computation power, but also a whole environment really easy to use and a documentation that helps to solve any problems one can encounter.
In general, I can say that I often spent an important amount of time setting up environment, lybraries, connections to GPUs and such, which always baffled me because I could not focus on performing the actual coding work. Using Saturn Cloud the aofrementioned wasted time is significantly reduced.

My experience as a research student
What do you like best about the product?
The user-friendly interface of the platform makes it easier for people with moderate technical backgrounds.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything. The platform is fairly good and meets all my expectations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use big data in my research, I usually need more than the usual computer resources I have. Saturn helped me scale up my work and easily execute my big data research.
Rating Saturn as a product.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it can offer GPUs that work perfectly in PCs and not as expensive as Google Colab.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that it takes some time in order to prepare your lab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the use of GPUs.
Quite a useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
At first glance, SaturnCloud seems to be just another service providing you with computational tools. However, it has a reasonable tariffication and smooth user experience which makes it one of the best options to consider.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is an issue with the display of remaining funds on a balance (but it is a minor thing).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Training NNs for a better understanding of current state-of-the-art.
Quick and easy jupyter development
What do you like best about the product?
It's quick and easy to use and get instances spun up. The free tier is one of the best out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to see a better interface that goes beyond stock Jupyter
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple straight forward cloud service for DS development
Good place to start learning ML
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about Saturn Cloud is the flexibility of the service provided, the power of the GPU's and the possibility to work with GitHub which allows to integrate the projects into my workflow. Also it was very easy to start using it as the workspace runs linux. On the other hand, I got additional hours because I enrolled in a course and I had to contact the customer support to enable it, the attention was fast and easy, with the given additional hours I found myself working frequently to train my models and keep on learning.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about Saturn cloud is that loading the image takes a considerable amount of time, ranging to almost five minutes and the management of secrets and keys which I never used in the past and I found a little confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saturn cloud helps with the deployment of models in a software as a service environment where an image runs on a server remotely where you can load your data, run python code and train models using the GPU's provided by the platform. It is easy to use and the payment strategy makes it pretty affordable if you are just starting out and don't want to pay for a GPU that can cost you easily a thousand dollars.
Easy to get started! SImple and Fast!
What do you like best about the product?
It was really easy to get started with SaturnCloud for my deep learning project. I was able to spin up a server in under 5 minutes, connect it to my public github repository, and begin training a model.
What do you dislike about the product?
Saturn Cloud assumes a basic understanding of Jupyter notebooks. If you aren't familiar with other hosted Jupyter notebooks it may take you longer to get started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SaturnCloud made it extremely easy to set up a simple cloud hosted machine learning server for training a deep learning model
Simple and Free ML Developmental setup
What do you like best about the product?
SC has a simple and easy to use setup with access to GPU.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free hours are a bit low now due to recent user's surge in usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
People without GPU or expensive machine can also spin up an instance and start working.
Well working GPU cluster, nice promotions for free hours of GPU from time to time
What do you like best about the product?
They make nice promotions for free hours of GPU from time to time
What do you dislike about the product?
the SSH connection through VScode cannot connect all the times. Worked a few monthes ago but not anymore
