Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have previously considered using a different solution before exploring Azure OpenAI. While I haven't utilized ChatGPT extensively, I find OpenAI, particularly in ChatGPT, quite effective. Additionally, many customers prefer the Microsoft platform due to its inherent trust and seamless integration with other Azure services. This trust factor and integration capability make it easier for customers to build solutions that connect various components within the Azure ecosystem, which is perceived as a superior feature.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for Azure OpenAI can be complex, as various roles and access-related settings must be configured. This process can be time-consuming, especially for users unfamiliar with the Azure platform.

The platform offers a flexible pricing model which depends on the features and capabilities we utilize.
