We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention 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."One of the notable advantages of Azure Firewall is its user-friendly interface, which closely resembles or shares similarities with other Azure components."
"I like its order management feature. It doesn't have the kind of threat intelligence that Palo Alto has, but the order management makes it much simpler to know the difference."
"Among the most valuable features are the DDoS protection that protects your virtual machines, the threat intelligence, and traffic filtering."
"The SIEM that Azure Firewall provides us is very robust."
"The most valuable feature is the integration into the overall cloud platform."
"Microsoft's technical support is very good. They're quite knowledgable and responsive."
"It's helped us improve our security posture."
"The Layer four features are okay and meet my business needs."
"The product is easy to configure."
"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."
"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."
"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."
"I rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's stability a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"It would be nice to be able to create groupings for servers and offer groups of IP addresses."
"The solution doesn't offer the same capabilities of Fortinet. It should offer intrusion prevention and advance filtering. These are two very useful features offered on Fortinet that Azure lacks."
"It needs a lot of improvement, especially on intruder detection. They are working hard on that."
"Azure Firewall should have a free trial version for new users so that they can evaluate it before deploying it."
"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."
"Azure Firewall definitely needs a broader feature base. It should be able to go all the way up to layer 7 when looking at applications and things like that."
"Technical support is awful."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"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."
"I would like Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to be on the source code or SQL databases. It is difficult to do classification and labeling when you have a third-party source code or a third-party Oracle database. It is seamless when it comes to Microsoft documents but is not so with third-party source codes. Microsoft needs to work on it a little bit more."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."
"The support is poor."
"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
