Room For Improvement

Regarding the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Azure AI Foundry, I would say it is fair, but I think it gets more expensive.

the pricing, setup costs, and licensing for Azure AI Foundry are very expensive, but still cheaper than hiring an additional position

Valuable Features

IT Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Sudhakar Pyndi - PeerSpot reviewer
Data, Analytics & Ai Senior Director, Enterprise Architecture at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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.
Morgan Victor - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Test Engineer at Roche
Automation has transformed project and inventory workflows and improves revenue forecasting
The best features QuickBase offers include being a no-code software, meaning it is very easy to use even for new users. It also provides life cycle management, workflow management, and dashboards. The dashboards and workflow management help my team significantly, as they have a drag-and-drop interface and prebuilt templates, which play a pivotal role in creating custom applications. Those features also help provide the ability to manage the entire application life cycle with QuickBase easily. Integration has been very seamless with our overall IT stack. The user interface is very user-friendly and intuitive, which makes it very easy to use, together with the no-code aspect. Any kind of personnel can use this tool easily.
