Document processing has accelerated contract reviews and enabled rapid development of AI-driven supply chain solutions
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.

Helpful dashboard, supports offline capabilities for SAP, professional support, and a simple pricing model
I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment. We have people going through all of their shifts without connectivity, yet it automatically later synchronizes well with SAP, without creating extra documents or anything like that. The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us. I love how easy it is to manage the design of the process using drag and drop. I know they are working to make the developer experience even better, and I'm very excited about it. The modernizer element that converts existing ABAP business logic to the cloud-native mobile-friendly solution is a very powerful tool that I haven't seen in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The feature of Azure AI Foundry that I prefer most is the guardrails, as it is much easier than the one that Bedrock in AWS provides."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us."
"Since you only pay for active users, and since it gives you an immediate improvement in efficiencies, the ROI is very quick."
"I love how they took the MIT Scratch concept and implemented it into the in-app backend. It makes the app creation so much more intuitive and easy to use."
"I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment."
 

Cons

"I do see some disadvantages that could be improved. The document management side of it needs work."
"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."
"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."
"Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done."
"I would improve Azure AI Foundry by adding more functions within Foundry itself, as right now it is quite basic in what it does."
"My experience with Azure AI Foundry's pricing, setup cost, and licensing was a mess."
"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."
"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."
"While we're not in a place of letting LOB analysts build apps, at some point, we may want to give them a bit more freedom - as long as we can limit their ability to harm the ERP data. I would like to see more tools pertaining to this area."
"The modernizer element should convert a higher percentage of the ABAP code, moving it from approximately 75%, closer to 100%."
