"Amazon Forecast: Game-Changing Sales Predictor for Training Pros"
What do you like best about Amazon Forecast?

I like best Amazon Forecast's automated ML for precise demand forecasting without data science skills. At The Knowledge Academy, it predicts PMP/CISSP enrollment and HubSpot lead trends effortlessly, slashing manual analysis time by 40% and boosting planning accuracy for webinars and staffing. Seamless S3 integration seals the deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Forecast?

The main drawbacks of Amazon Forecast are its steep learning curve for non-technical users and the higher costs that come with large-scale datasets. At The Knowledge Academy, the initial setup required AWS expertise, and the pricing scaled up quickly beyond smaller forecasting needs such as our PMP course predictions. As a result, even though the accuracy is strong, it can be less suitable for budget-conscious sales teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable forecasting tool for operational planning"
What do you like best about Amazon Forecast?

What I like most about Amazon Forecast is how easy it is to generate accurate demand predictions using our internal historical data. The platform automates most of the heavy lifting, which helps me create forecasts for inventory and operational planning without needing to build models from scratch. The integration with AWS services is smooth, and once the datasets are uploaded, the workflow is very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Forecast?

Some configuration steps can feel technical, especially when preparing datasets or tuning import settings. Also, training models can take a bit of time depending on the dataset size. Apart from that, the tool is stable and delivers consistent results once everything is set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Forecast?

The initial setup and configuration can feel a bit complex, especially for first-time users. It took some time to understand the data preparation steps and choose the right metrics. Also, when working with large datasets, keeping an eye on costs is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
