Robust support and visibility, but some users may encounter challenges, particularly with complex setups and certain application integrations
Having visibility into the quantity and reasons behind the data we send out is crucial. This is particularly significant when dealing with sensitive information like Social Security Numbers, especially in the context of desktop backups. This newfound visibility not only contributes to time and potentially cost savings but also enhances credibility. Leveraging blocking in our policies serves as an effective remediation measure. When a policy is in place, it acts as a gatekeeper, preventing users from carrying out actions that go against the specified policy, even if they intend to do so. This proactive approach ensures a robust defense mechanism.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to configure."
"The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."
"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."
"For Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure, Dynamics 365, and Office 365, I would give it a 10 out of 10. It provides all the insights and information."
"The product has improved compliance and confidence. We are aware of the data that is leaving our organization. It provides confidence in data management and information storage."
"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The tool has prebuilt templates for data classification. It is easier for customers to get started."
"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."
"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."
"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."
 

Cons

"A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that."
"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels. It is a little daunting at first if you don't have prior knowledge, and there is a little bit of a learning curve for setting up the labels. Some of the setup wizards could be more helpful from an AI perspective. They can streamline the setup through more AI technologies so that you don't have to jump through so many hoops and different menus and dropdowns. It would be useful to have a setup wizard that is more hands-off and engaging for setting up the information type labels. If you tell them this is what we're trying to protect, it should basically start to lead you down that path of best practices. Such a feature would be great."
"Technical support is awful."
"There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."
"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."
"The whole UI of the server console installed on the standalone computers is hefty."
"In future releases, I would like to see like to see encryption available on the cloud-based version."
"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Trellix needs to improve customer support."
"Trellix is incompatible with Linux, and its DLP part is incompatible with Mac. Sometimes, it does not work on Windows, either."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is a part of our Microsoft licensing. We pay for a yearly renewal. Its price is reasonable for the size of the organization we are. It is fairly competitive, and you get what you pay for. We have an E5 license, and a part of understanding the E5 license is to see what all you get with it. If you really look at it from that standpoint, you get a lot of value. You have Defender and all its security features in there as well. Their licensing is fairly flexible. They have different programs. We've seen ones where you could pay for up to three to five years in advance. There is also a monthly pay-as-you-go type of deal, but we're doing a yearly renewal and fixing the budget."
"We are using the E3 license for Microsoft 365 with the E5 compliance license add-on."
"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."
"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."
"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."
