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.

Automated invoice workflows have transformed our document processing and reduced manual effort
UiPath AI Center offers several great features, including the ability to create datasets manually and automate the pipeline for retraining ML models. I can easily set a default timing or create a recurring pipeline to train the documents from Action Center, which provides me with a variety of features, with the easy user interface being one of the best aspects.The recurring pipeline scheduling has saved me a lot of time because I usually have to manually train and mark documents, but when users utilize my bot, they contribute to the data, marking approximately 50% of invoice extraction fields from Action Center. This allows the existing marked data to be automatically retrained, significantly saving me time as a developer and improving the training efficiency since multiple users are validating the invoices, generating a lot of data for training. UiPath AI Center has positively impacted my organization, particularly in automating the invoice extraction process, leading to significant cost savings and time reduction. Manually reading and posting invoices in SAP involves considerable time and effort, but by automating invoice extraction and posting, we now only require users to flag low-confidence fields, allowing for major cycle time reduction and cost savings in invoice processing. I estimate a 50 to 70% reduction in cycle time and roughly a 60% reduction in the required manual effort. Some humans still need to validate the extracted data, so it may be around 60 to 75%.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"It is flexible, it is scalable, and it is a solid product, and that is the advice I would give to others looking into using Microsoft Foundry."
"Microsoft Foundry has significantly reduced development cycles for AI applications and agents."
"Having Azure AI Foundry as a tool has benefited our organization significantly because our team has five data scientists, and this type of tool makes everything much faster."
"From my experience, there are features that stand out for me, as the fact that it connects to ConnectWise is strong and integration is the strongest part."
"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."
"UiPath AI Center is found to be very valuable because it has improved significantly in extracting information from each invoice."
"UiPath AI Center has positively impacted my organization, particularly in automating the invoice extraction process, leading to significant cost savings and time reduction."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I gave it a seven because whenever I needed to build a multi-agent system, the prompt flow that would control the chain of command between the agents had to be built inside the AI Hub."
"I have concerns about pricing."
"Suggestions for improving Microsoft Foundry relate to setup complexities. Achieving strong governance setups requires extensive configuration, particularly with role-based access and Azure policies, which can be costly for large-scale deployments."
"On a very common end or whatever is available on the basic pricing, I think Microsoft tools are priced on a higher side compared to its competitors."
"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."
"To improve UiPath AI Center, clients need to be convinced to purchase a separate Document Understanding license because it is quite costly."
"One improvement I would like to see in UiPath AI Center is the addition of more ML models."
