We performed a comparison between Azure Key Vault and Microsoft Purview Information Protection 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."I would say it's granular controller who can access them."
"We use Azure Key Vault for securing secret connection streams, like API secrets, Azure services Secret Key, and AD Client Secret."
"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."
"The access policy feature helps secure content and resources."
"The platform provides straightforward integration with most of the other Azure services."
"The product’s advantageous feature is integration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the search for secrets feature that we use to store our passwords and connection strings."
"Its customer service is excellent."
"It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device."
"Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous."
"Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."
"We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool."
"The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year."
"While the solution already does a great job of managing keys, the solution could probably look at maybe expanding more into mobile devices and endpoints."
"I can see that other people are doing the infrastructure as code, they are able to easily manage and cycle their passwords as needed using their own interface they created. It would be nice if Microsoft provided more guidance in that area."
"It would be great if Azure allowed more third-party vendors into the ecosystem."
"Currently, our company has to add the secrets manually, one by one, in Azure Key Vault, which is a tedious process."
"The slow response from the support team is one of the shortcomings of the solution that needs to be improved."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"If multiple clouds are to be used it can be difficult and a third party should assist in the implementation."
"If I consider how some people complain that a solution to store information should be available at a low cost, I would say that Azure Key Vault's price should be made cheaper."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
"Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation."
"Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time."
"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."
"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature."
