Microsoft Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines AI evaluation and observability platforms (AEOPs) as tools that help manage the challenges of nondeterminism and unpredictability in AI systems. AEOPs automate evaluations (“evals”) to benchmark AI outputs against quality expectations such as performance, fairness and accuracy. These tools create a positive feedback loop by feeding observability data (logs, metrics, traces) back to evals, which helps improve system reliability and alignment. AEOPs can be procured as a stand-alone solution or as part of broader AI application development platforms.

slightly difficult to create AI agents. easy to integrate with GitHub

I mainly use it to build and evaluate our LLM apps and the eval + tracing piece is what we lean on the most. What I like is that everything sits in one place, you can test prompts, look at traces and push to deployment without jumping between five tools. Improvement Pointers
1) Dashboard load times - sometimes when the traces are heavy the page takes a while to refresh, a bit of optimisation there would enrich this for the end user.
