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.

The best features Tray.io offers include excellent visualization capabilities and a dashboard, which stand out to me the most. I appreciate that it is very easy to convert the data we receive from Tray.io into dashboards from Power BI, which is extremely useful. I would also appreciate if in the future Tray.io provides a way to natively convert the data to Tableau. Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once. As a multinational and very large company, it is definitely beneficial that those of us in the UK can use the same format that colleagues use in India, and the entire data architecture is framed within a trusted system from an established organization. As far as I know, Tray.io has been operating for the last 12 years, making it a very reliable system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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 helped reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development cycles by approximately 50% for one use case."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of redundant tasks that our team performs by approximately 80%, and the numbers are quite significant with the workflows alone, as we are working towards creating and utilizing AI within these workflows as well."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by helping us keep our internal database and this third-party service in sync, and it has really helped us automate a lot of that work because it is fairly straightforward to maintain and develop."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once."
 

Cons

"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."
"I find that the online documentation can sometimes be confusing, requiring extensive searching through multiple articles to locate specific information."
"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."
"Even though I have only been utilizing Azure AI Foundry for the past four months, I think the understanding between Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry is still somewhat unclear regarding which one to use when and why, and how they complement each other is a journey we are currently undertaking."
"Azure AI Foundry could be improved with better integration within all the other tools from Microsoft."
"I would improve Azure AI Foundry by adding more functions within Foundry itself, as right now it is quite basic in what it does."
"One of the big things Azure AI Foundry could improve is continuously evolving the governance elements and how, while I know they exist, the more control we can have over different elements and observation of what different agents are doing, the better."
"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."
"I have found that the error management in my main use case with Tray.io is not as effective as we would prefer."
"As our product got more complex, we needed to add more and more complexity to Tray.io in terms of our setup, and that is when the benefits of it being no-code or low-code started to pale in comparison to the cost of making everything slightly more complicated."
"One way Tray.io could be improved, especially for people coming in with no real coding experience, is with more comprehensive error messages."
