We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall and Microsoft Purview eDiscovery 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."Network filtering is valuable. The scalability capability from the cloud-native service helps us a lot because it simplifies our day-to-day maintenance activity."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the control over the network permissions and the network."
"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."
"It's helped us improve our security posture."
"Azure Firewall's feature that I have found most valuable is its scalability."
"Azure's cost-effectiveness is its major advantage."
"We secure the entry point to the virtual data center with the firewall."
"The solution can autoscale."
"I think eDiscovery Premium has made dealing with data from Teams much more accessible than any other platform."
"The tool has been beneficial. Some of our previous users left the organization without sharing the information they had at a personal level. This information was related to the organization, and they didn't disclose it. Thanks to the product, it's easy for me to search and find out what communication a specific user has done, whether it's from SharePoint or any other platform. With Microsoft Purview eDiscovery, we can easily retrieve and restore this data."
"The machine learning wasn't half bad. I really like that part. I thought it was novel. It pretty much automated it, once you trained the model."
"Azure has new versions including a premium firewall. But I would like to see them not put the premium features on Azure Firewall Premium alone because it is quite expensive."
"It would be nice to be able to create groupings for servers and offer groups of IP addresses."
"This solution is not mature when it comes to handling perimeter traffic like internet browsing."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"The threat intelligence aspect of this particular firewall is not at par with other providers."
"We find it's different implementing it region-to-region. It might help if it was universal across all regions."
"You have to have a defined IP range within your network to associate it with your network. The problem is you have to plan ahead of time if you expect to use the firewall in the future so that you don't have to reconfigure your subnets or that specific IP range. Other than that, I don't any issues. I use it for basic configuration for a single application, so I really don't try to leverage it for multiple applications where I might find some complexity or challenges."
"They can improve the pricing of Azure Firewall."
"Purview eDiscovery works, but it's not entirely perfect. There were times when search results would get hung up or error codes would be presented and we'd have to contact Microsoft to get that sorted out."
"I see two significant challenges with many of my clients. One is that there are some functionality gaps compared to specialized tools in the legal industry, like a legal hold tool or a document review tool. They have features that Purview eDiscovery lacks. Those gaps create a situation where I almost have to do things twice. I need to collect all my data in eDiscovery and ship it to another platform to complete the review."
"Microsoft Purview eDiscovery should be cheaper."
