Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."I use the tool in projects as a medium to provide information as reports to the stakeholders."
"The most valuable feature is the tracking activity and device onboarding."
"The labeling is the most valuable feature for the companies I'm installing it for. Some of them have several thousand staff, and their concerns are around confidential or private data being shared. The labels and the policies involved with them give them that initial visibility."
"It's certainly easy to work with all Microsoft data sources like SQL Server, Synapse, and data lakes, but it also has great functionality working with Oracle. And of particular interest to us is the ability to pull data from Excel, CVS files, and other types of flat files."
"Instead of having to manually write down which tables and columns exist and then describe them, you can do that process in one go, by simply connecting to a source. That's a huge time-saver and a great benefit of Purview."
"It is designed to seamlessly connect to various data sources, which is particularly beneficial for our customers who primarily use Microsoft technologies."
"The documentation is very exhaustive. Anyone can go ahead and try different use cases."
"The most significant value lies in its seamless integration into the Azure ecosystem, automating various processes and reducing operational burdens."
"It is robust solution."
"The new workflow engine is based on the web app rather than the Java-based approach."
"The current event-based retention management is very poor."
"Frequent daily updates from Microsoft can cause interface elements like buttons to appear and disappear, making navigation unpredictable."
"The product must provide better integrations with OS X and iOS."
"The custom data classification for the African region needs to be improved."
"Overcoming certain control issues would significantly enhance our overall satisfaction."
"Another area for improvement is in managing the business glossary terms. If they could provide the same type of method that we use to configure the scan rule sets, that would be helpful. Currently, there is no option like this, so we have to do it manually. Automatic detection would be great."
"Some of the menu headings may not be easy to understand for some people."
"I would like to have complete video documentation for training."
"I would like to see harmonizing with some of the external third-party products so that it will all be within SAP."
"SAP should come up with specialized services as per their customer's requirements."
