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 affected our management of privacy, performance, and compliance primarily based on our location in the UK, where it is more focused on the region in terms of where that data is being processed and who has access to it, which is hopefully no one other than us."
"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 benefit of using Azure AI Foundry for the organization is saving time, so saving time and then making money—now that we have this, many people were not doing this because it took them so long to do that research, that has been fixed."
"With Document Intelligence, we just went through Foundry, enabled Document Intelligence, and we were able to get everything done in less than 90 days for the complete end-to-end solution we built on that."
"What I appreciate most about Azure AI Foundry is that for a single agent flow, the platform provides the ability to build agents quickly, which demonstrates the ease of use for a single agent workflow."
"Azure AI Foundry is flexible and helped me reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development through the integrity and integration of various applications that we are able to achieve."
"The features of Azure AI Foundry that I appreciate the most include the containment of all the agents and the ability to see all agents in a single dashboard and to have access to all of them from one portal."
"Azure AI Foundry has helped reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development cycles by approximately 50% for one use case."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"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."
"In Azure AI Foundry, I did not see many tools inside to test it that can really help us. I wish there were more tooling."
"My biggest critique is some of the fragmentation of their different AI services they have, including AI Open, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Azure Foundry. They feel very disjointed sometimes, so having a unified single experience for all of that would be ideal."
"There is always scope for improvement regarding Azure AI Foundry, but I am still in exploring mode."
"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."
"I would improve Azure AI Foundry by adding more functions within Foundry itself, as right now it is quite basic in what it does."
"I do see some disadvantages that could be improved. The document management side of it needs work."
"I would appreciate it if Microsoft could improve Azure AI Foundry by releasing new features immediately because sometimes we have to wait for weeks or months to use them."
