Anthropic
Claude is well suited to help build documentation, strategic plans, and document analysis very well. I just recently had a client ask me for Terms & Conditions of a new service offering we are developing. I had Claude look at some existing artifacts we have already created and added some additional key points, to develop our T&C. Claude helped streamline the process in a few hours, that could have take several days to weeks to fine tune

If you're looking for a managed OpenAI API service, then Azure OpenAI Service is a good choice.
It's fully compatible with OpenAI API, has lots of models to choose from, lots of parameters to configure to suite your needs.
The documents are well maintained, with examples to get started.
You can also setup firewall to restrict access to the API to certain IP addresses, like those of your VPCs.

  • The user interface is similar to the Azure, so it's bit laggy, they should improve it.
  • The chat models sometimes return nothing, I guess they are still testing them.
  • The models we use have quota limitation on tokens and number of requests.

Usability
Anthropic
Claude is a trusted platform from our perspective. We have been using this platform (paid version) more and more the past few months. The value returned is more than worth it. As more integrations points happen, we see Claude being a long term part of our ecosystem. Data creation, analysis, and assessments can be a tedious process. Claude delivers robust and efficient outcomes that help us for on higher level tasks.

I think it's a good product and appreciate the addition secure guard rails that running it in Azure provide. However, I still struggle at times to get to the right resources for support and region-based capacity can also be a challenge.

Anthropic Claude is just as good as any of the aforementioned platforms. We were using ChatGPT primarily before Claude. We have leaned more to Claude in recent months, but use other solutions to keep a balanced approach to research and analysis. We plan to keep Claude as a core component of our tech stack moving forward, as it has proven value time and time again.

  • Our test group of 100 people created more than 200 conversations within the first day
  • People were excited & asked to be included to the test group once words spread that we have an internal ChatGPT portal
  • People started to create & share their own assistants (prompt engineering) for various purposes like code review, marketing, email, etc.
