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.

Great features, effortless integrations and offers an enhanced experience for users
Some of my current wishlist items for improvements would be to extend the existing timeout setting or have that setting configurable at a user level. Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required. Also related to the designing and testing of larger and more complex workflows, navigation is sometimes cumbersome. A means of easily navigating and following the various connectors and workflow links would be a welcomed addition.

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The most beneficial feature for enhancing our customer experience is that it is easy to use for them and for us to implement."
"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."
"Azure AI Foundry has helped me reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development significantly because it takes over a lot of the infrastructure work of connecting to these models."
"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."
"These features have benefited our organization by allowing us to release new products and new offerings this year, accelerate our growth, and quickly drive our AI agents into customers' hands."
"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."
"Well-managed version control of workflows and the simplicity in promoting workflows through each environment has aided my team in developing workflows for various environments without the risk of losing development work."
"Being able to seamlessly make changes to how one can do mapping visually without having to be a seasoned developer is great."
"The Flowgear tool is helping us reduce the manual work that is done."
"The solution has increased efficiency and productivity and saved us time and money."
"The no-code visual front end, along with pre-built samples, allows someone with very little technical ability to get an integration up and running."
"Great for data flow."
"It has improved our integration with our data supplier."
 

Cons

"I would evaluate customer service and technical support as terrible. Whenever I have to reach out to customer support, I end up waiting sometimes days for a response, and our 24-hour response time often turns into three to five days."
"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 find that the online documentation can sometimes be confusing, requiring extensive searching through multiple articles to locate specific information."
"The deployment process for Azure AI Foundry has been very challenging. There are many issues with policies, and because we have very stringent controls, we need to know exactly how Azure AI Foundry works before we can deploy it."
"My experience with Azure AI Foundry's pricing, setup cost, and licensing was a mess."
"For Azure AI Foundry, there is no actual clear pricing structure, which can be confusing for customers to understand, as every feature that you activate has its own price, and it is not very clear sometimes to define the pricing."
"Azure AI Foundry can be improved by adding educational features."
"Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done."
"The initial setup was a bit complex as we were new."
"The product would be nice if it could provide the deployment features in the lower packages."
"The UI could be improved."
"We would like to see more learning videos for beginners."
"Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required."
"The software itself needs to keep up with the daily demand to service all clients as the need arises."
"The product needs to improve the self-help tools and samples."
