The biggest return on investment for me when using Azure AI Foundry is the savings in cost for implementing our own observability, visibility, evaluation, and building our own infrastructure to do proof of concepts.
Azure AI Foundry significantly reduces AI app development time, enabling faster growth and product releases. Preferred for guardrails and enhanced customer experience, it excels in ease of use and functionality. With Anthropic, model catalog and deployment capabilities are appreciated, yet deployment faces challenges from stringent controls. Pricing complexity, integration with Microsoft tools, and inadequate support present drawbacks. Improvements in governance, control, and regional data processing advance privacy and compliance management.
