The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AWS SageMaker vendor lock-in to AWS ecosystem makes migration to other platforms difficult; JMP the Internet Archive's capture of JMP's homepage on 13 January 2020 named five distinct editions, JMP, JMP Live, JMP Pro, JMP Clinical, and JMP Genomics, each targeting a different analysis use case, with no price figure published for any.
  • They diverge on capability: AWS SageMaker covers Jupyter notebooks, JMP covers Interactive statistics.
