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.

Streamlines app development with dynamic databases and an easy setup
I used Oracle APEX before Google Cloud AI Platform. Oracle APEX is a free tool, except for the Oracle database, which I can only use with it. To have more freedom, I chose Firebase and Google's solutions as it allows me to run it on a hosted server if I want to.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"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."
"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 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."
"In my evaluation process, I found that Microsoft Azure AI Foundry is much more accessible compared to AWS on model selection and the capabilities of using Document Intelligence versus Textract were much better."
"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."
"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 feedback left about these tools was really helpful and informative for us"
"I think the user interface is quite handy, and it is easy to use as compared to the other cloud platforms."
"A range of a a wide range of algorithms, EIM voice mails, which can be plugged in right away into your solution into into into our solution, and then have platform that provides know, to to come up with an operational solution really quick."
"Some of the valuable features are the vast amount of services that are available, such as load balancer, and the AI architecture."
"I have seen measurable benefits from Google Cloud AI Platform."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution is able to read 90% of the documents correctly with a 10% error rate, cutting the human intervention time by more than half compared to Microsoft's solution."
"We are trying our best to improve our existing models and privacy and to keep on updating it, and also we are trying to use reinforcement learning and separate APIs so that if a user wants to update their data, they can do so."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"My experience with deploying Azure AI Foundry is that, at this point in time, given the limited capabilities available in Foundry, we built pro-code agents, hosted them, containerized them, and deployed them."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I find that the online documentation can sometimes be confusing, requiring extensive searching through multiple articles to locate specific information."
"I think it's the it it also has has evolved quite a bit over the last few years, and Google Cloud folks have been getting, more and more services. But I think from a improvement standpoint, so maybe they can look at adding more algorithms, so adding more AI algorithms to their suite."
"The model management on Google Cloud AI Platform could be better."
"At first, there were only the user-managed rules to identify the best attributes of the individual."
"Improvements in text extraction accuracy and pricing adjustments would be helpful."
"Customizations are very difficult, and they take time."
"It could be more clear, and sometimes there are errors that I don't quite understand."
"At first, there were only the user-managed rules to identify the best attributes of the individual. Then, we came up with a truth set and developed different machine learning models with the help of that truth set, so now it's completely machine learning."
"One thing that I found is that Azure ML does not directly provide you with features on Google Cloud AI Platform, whereas Vertex provides some features of the platform."
