Systems Engineer at a leisure / travel company with 201-500 employees
Compliance reporting has provided governance insights and now needs faster expert support access
I would rate Microsoft Support a six or seven on a scale of one to ten, depending on who you get. Microsoft could potentially improve by being able to reach the right people immediately instead of having to deal with lower-level support staff. As an enterprise customer, having that enterprise liaison is beneficial. I have a single point of contact for issues. Previously, when this was first set up without that liaison, calling support meant getting level one support who could not help, then level two support who also could not help, and finally reaching someone who could actually assist. Having a designated Microsoft representative or support person is definitely key.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way it processes contemporaneous research prompts is much better than Chat GPT; it gives more fullsome answers that combine current data with the existing training data."
"The quick, easy, and secure access to a LLM has enabled us to use these facilities without fear of information being shared elsewhere."
"The system provides a dashboard showing our compliance status, which aids in managing compliance tasks."
"Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is tightly integrated with email solutions like Office 365."
"The best aspect is that it requires little to no time for implementation if I am using all of Microsoft's tools."
"The data classification reporting is helping us figure out what and where our people are storing files and why."
"One of the valuable features of the tool is that it works effectively."
"Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments."
"The stability is a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to apply regulations and ensure compliance with various policies. It also provides tools for investigation, risk assessment, and security score evaluations."
 

Cons

"Some of the consoles are still a bit clunky; there is room for improvement there."
"Any changes would be cosmetic; the interface could be smartened up."
"When I tried to set up Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager for my organization to ensure people are not sending PII documents, especially payment cards, using keywords for flagging, it disrupted our services, so we had to deactivate it."
"Microsoft Purview has moved its portal from classic to premium with some display improvements, yet not much in options and functionalities."
"There could be improved automation for handling tasks in bulk or in an automated way."
"We've had issues with data connectors for Teams."
"Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is a stable product used by organizations utilizing Outlook as their email client. Despite stability, it needs to be more user-friendly and competitive compared to other eDiscovery tools."
"The speed and accessibility, particularly in the user interface, require significant work."
"Integrating add-on licenses, which currently offer additional features at a cost, into the base product would be beneficial, especially for a charity organization to avoid incurring extra costs."
"Policy configuration, particularly for web interfaces and OCR scanning, presents challenges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
