Key to controlling data and the knowledge around where data is; strong workflow policies
The technical support is limited. It's high quality, but not high volume, meaning that they have some really good people, but not a ton of them. Nowadays, a lot of people are getting into tech, but they're not really experienced in the particular solutions they're dealing with. It's also potentially hard to find people for that area that are really good, because it requires different types of experience. They have to know the application, but they also have to understand how applications work, how data warehousing work, things like that. Nothing against young people, but when they've only been in the industry for a few years and don't necessarily have that experience, they may not be able to help as much as you might need.

It helps us by reporting on and auditing leaks and breaches
One important feature is data security, which both end users and the organization seek. Microsoft Purview offers data protection across a multi-cloud and multi-platform environment. It's critical that Purview connects to iOS, Mac, and Android. We could only secure some of our data if it only covered Windows. It provides a comprehensive view of the entire ecosystem's threats and compliance in real time. It's very easy to use. Purview's compliance features are crucial. We have to match some cases in other countries to our own to comply with the policies, procedures, and regulatory frameworks here.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Rules and policies on workflows are really strong."
"Microsoft Purview's primary benefit lies in safeguarding sensitive and confidential data, thereby mitigating the risk of internal data exfiltration."
"You can set up automated dates to alert on internal data."
"We can prevent, block, or audit however we like."
"The e-discovery search is useful."
"The data protection feature is vital as it controls who can access data when it moves out of our protected boundary."
"The most significant value lies in its seamless integration into the Azure ecosystem, automating various processes and reducing operational burdens."
"I use the tool in projects as a medium to provide information as reports to the stakeholders."
"One important feature is data security, which both end users and the organization seek."
 

Cons

"Connectivity with different applications could be improved."
"Auto-tagging should be available at lower levels of licensing. Right now, a high level of licensing is needed for auto-tagging, and this feature should be made available at a lower license level."
"The current event-based retention management is very poor."
"The support could be better, particularly with consulting."
"Reflecting organizational changes within Purview is impractical."
"We haven't really gotten too far into it to identify areas for improvement just yet."
"Two features are unsupported—custom insights and the DLP component—that would be beneficial to me as a consultant and for the customer in terms of security and monitoring. Regarding security, DLP would provide a more granular level of data masking. Custom insights would offer more detailed monitoring and alerts that can notify customers of failures or anything requiring urgent action."
"Purview's data connector platform for non-Microsoft data sources is good, but there is some functionality that hasn't been developed yet. There are some servers that it can't connect to yet, because they're still in a trial process."
"I'd like to see them improve the training for implementing this type of solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is not cheap."
"The pricing depends on the client's requirements and the number of applications."
"Microsoft Purview has a pay-per-use pricing model, so it's one of the most cost-effective tools, as your cost will be based on your usage. It's a pricing model that Microsoft has nailed down, making it great whether you're a small organization or a multinational, giant organization."
"While Purview's standard pricing might not be accessible to most small businesses, we were fortunate to benefit from the educational pricing which made it a financially viable option for our needs."
"Microsoft Purview requires a Microsoft 365 license and is included with an E5 license."
"Microsoft Purview is a subscription-based service, so we need either an E3 or E5 license to use it."
"The pricing is moderate. It's not too expensive, but it's not the most competitive."
"The price is reasonable because most of our clients already have an E3 license, which makes implementation easy."
