What do you like best about Sama?

Sama handles all the painstaking data labeling chores to microtasks. This way, I don't feel overwhelmed with different levels of knowledge, but rather, I get the opportunity to just do my best. My documentation project has increased the accuracy and speed through the use of Sama labeling tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sama?

The language support for Sama is not so comprehensive. It does so by favouring common languages along with difficulties of working on less common ones. This has for me pushed me to look for outside help or scale down on the extent to which I gather data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sama solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sama resolves the biggest barrier of the data labeling – the problem of getting professional and precise labor force. The global workforce of Sama combined with its microtasking approach can really be an efficient time saver for me and creates top-notch data for my AI projects.

What do you like best about Sama?

Sama is a very scalable solution. We can add and remove resources with short notice and complete large amounts of manual, digital work quicker and at a lower cost than with any other vendor.

Sama's impact sourcing approach is a nice bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sama?

The type of work we send to Sama is not the typical AI work they do for most companies. Thus, Sama's expertise regarding our specific digital marketing needs is not that of a traditional digital marketing agency. Consequently, we aren't able to outsource more complex digital tactics to Sama. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sama solving and how is that benefiting you?

We complete a lot of digital auditing and repetitive, manual, digital work with Sama. As the volume of work significantly varies throughout the year, we have benefitted considerably from the short lead times to add and remove resources. Sama is the right fit for quick, scalable tactic execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
