We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"Azure Firewall is a cloud-native solution that removes the pain of load balancers."
"Performance and stability are the key features of this product."
"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence. It is based on filtering and can identify multiple threats."
"Microsoft's technical support is very good. They're quite knowledgable and responsive."
"The initial setup is straightforward; Azure Firewall does not have a complex implementation process. It is very simple; you just need to enable the service within Azure. It does not require any maintenance because it is managed by Microsoft, that is, it is a fully managed service."
"One of the best features is that it natively integrates with Azure Services and tools. When you have a third-party offering, that is not the case. But Azure Firewall provides a comprehensive and seamless security solution for your Azure resources."
"It is easy for me to protect certain ports or even the IP addresses, as well as do whitelisting, blacklisting, and the FQDN when we want virtual machines connected and to protect certain websites."
"We have more visibility of data and how it is being shared."
"Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments."
"We move data between clouds and also from on-premises to the cloud. There is no other mechanism to check if this data is moving according to industry standards for such things as security, bandwidth, and SSL encryption mechanism. We would not be able to see these metrics without Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"They can improve the pricing of Azure Firewall."
"The product could be made more customizable."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"For large organizations, a third-party firewall would be an added advantage, because it would have more advanced features, things that are not in Azure Firewall."
"It has fewer features than you can get from other firewalls, like anti-spam and anti-phishing. Those kinds of things are not included. It only includes IDS and IDB."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"Azure Firewall should have a free trial version for new users so that they can evaluate it before deploying it."
"We've had issues with data connectors for Teams."
"We'd like to see the solution expanded to include firewalls and endpoints."
"One area for improvement is the technical support for Purview. With all the other solutions from Microsoft we get really good technical support, but with Purview we had a compliance error and we couldn't find the solution. Purview would not point us to the correct solution, it just indicated the error. We had to troubleshoot it and find out what led to this error. We contacted technical support but it took them one week to identify the root cause of the error."
