I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

With regard to security, compliance, or governance features in Azure AI Foundry, this is something that we have started looking into, primarily using Microsoft Purview for our governance, data governance. There is this new module called DSPM for AI, and we are exploring it while trying to operationalize it with different policies and so forth, but we're still not where we want to be on the governance, AI governance side. It's a process and a path, and we are trying to work through that right now. Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done. The promising part is the recent announcement on the Foundry control plane. A couple of days back, there was an announcement regarding it bringing in some of the gaps that were on the platform, so it's a really positive direction in terms of where it's going. More governance is what is lacking, but the control plane will really play a big role there.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"Azure AI Foundry has helped reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development cycles by approximately 50% for one use case."
"With the introduction of Microsoft Foundry and the models and the flexibility, I think it has been a simple plug and play or no-code, low-code kind of feasibility which a developer is getting."
"From my experience, there are features that stand out for me, as the fact that it connects to ConnectWise is strong and integration is the strongest part."
"In general, I think being able to set up something like this with Microsoft Foundry is quite neat."
"The features of Azure AI Foundry that I appreciate the most include the model catalog and the capability to deploy all of these different models, especially now that they've added Anthropic, which was the big one that was missing."
"The most beneficial feature for enhancing our customer experience is that it is easy to use for them and for us to implement."
"Azure AI Foundry makes it very straightforward, as I do not have to write thousands of lines of code; I rely on GitHub Copilot and Azure AI Foundry."
"This solution has given us the flexibility to do what we needed to do, or actually above and beyond with more than what we wanted at a decent price."
 

Cons

"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"I find that the online documentation can sometimes be confusing, requiring extensive searching through multiple articles to locate specific information."
"I gave it a seven because whenever I needed to build a multi-agent system, the prompt flow that would control the chain of command between the agents had to be built inside the AI Hub."
"Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done."
"There is always scope for improvement regarding Azure AI Foundry, but I am still in exploring mode."
"On a very common end or whatever is available on the basic pricing, I think Microsoft tools are priced on a higher side compared to its competitors."
"Suggestions for improving Microsoft Foundry relate to setup complexities. Achieving strong governance setups requires extensive configuration, particularly with role-based access and Azure policies, which can be costly for large-scale deployments."
"Right now, because of the UI and the complexity of it, it is complicated and cumbersome, and I think figuring out how to simplify that would probably make it a faster process."
"My experience with deploying Azure AI Foundry is that, at this point in time, given the limited capabilities available in Foundry, we built pro-code agents, hosted them, containerized them, and deployed them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
