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.

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 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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
 

Cons

"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."
"Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done."
"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."
"In Azure AI Foundry, I did not see many tools inside to test it that can really help us. I wish there were more tooling."
"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."
"I would improve Azure AI Foundry by adding more functions within Foundry itself, as right now it is quite basic in what it does."
"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."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
