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 is extremely stable."
"I use the tool in projects as a medium to provide information as reports to the stakeholders."
"Instead of having to manually write down which tables and columns exist and then describe them, you can do that process in one go, by simply connecting to a source. That's a huge time-saver and a great benefit of Purview."
"The documentation is very exhaustive. Anyone can go ahead and try different use cases."
"My favorite features are eDiscovery and insider risk management, because these are the major threats to an organization that can't be easily traced."
"Microsoft Purview's most valuable feature is its ability to identify content across a number of prescribed regulatory frameworks, including Microsoft, GDPR, PII, and UCC Financial."
"The ability to classify data quickly and effortlessly is arguably Microsoft Purview's most valuable feature."
"MIP also provides strong information rights management settings, such as the ability to specify who has access to content and at what time."
 

Cons

"Connectivity with different applications could be improved."
"The Microsoft Purview data connector platform, which supports ingestion from non-Microsoft data sources, can be somewhat complex."
"The product must provide better integrations with OS X and iOS."
"The product needs improvement to edit the number of assets. It needs to be more inuitive as well."
"There are some limitations with regard to the lineage of data from different parts of the system."
"The custom data classification for the African region needs to 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."
"Purview's data loss prevention for macOS endpoints has some limitations, and the end-user experience of recovering from a failure is lacking."
"I rate Microsoft support six out of 10. The standard support is acceptable, but sometimes it doesn't respond fast enough. Overall, it doesn't meet our expectations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay $15,000 per end user for the E5 license."
"The categorization within the licensing could be improved. There are a lot of solutions within Microsoft Purview. If the licensing could be a bit clearer and the solutions could be better categorized according to function and across multiple environments, that would be excellent. The licensing is very confusing."
"Purview's price is pretty high when you factor in storage costs."
"The pricing is moderate. It's not too expensive, but it's not the most competitive."
"Purview is included in our Microsoft E5 licensing."
"The pricing is decent. It is neither too low nor too high. Given its capabilities, the pricing is justified."
"I consider it cost-efficient because of the metrics it provides."
"Microsoft Purview is priced in the middle. It isn't the cheapest, but it isn't the most expensive. It's affordable compared to other public cloud services."
