Enables organizations to monitor the network and protect themselves from data leakage
The initial setup process is very simple and easy. We have no issues to do it for ourselves or our customers. The deployment takes less than 20 days. The integration is very simple. However, first, we must understand what we want to have on our network and what we want to prevent. If we don't have this information before we start the configuration, we will be lost. We must know what kind of protection we need in our company. We have LGPD in Brazil. It is similar to GDPR in Europe. It prevents any personal information from being linked to other companies without permission. We have to take care of the personal information of our customers, employees, and partners. To deploy the tool, we must understand what we need to do. We must download the whole package and have our infrastructure ready to receive it. We must get the SSL certification and start to configure our platform. When the process is finished, we must roll out a small portion of our network to ensure everything will be well. After that, we must do the full rollout.

Protects sensitive data across devices and helps address client compliance needs proactively
The reporting in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is a little easier than most Microsoft portals. I understand the licensing cost, especially if you're a Business Premium or in the SMB world, and a lot of clients run with a Business Premium. That comes with data loss prevention in a manual process, whereas E5 gives automation. Microsoft has said, 'Okay, here's your Microsoft 365 E5 compliance add-on that can go on the Business Premium.' So Business Premium users can get the data loss prevention features of E5, which is fantastic. That was the big point that they were missing, and I'm glad that they actually have an add-on now that makes it possible. So truly, I don't think there's a downside. Maybe more reporting, but that's it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The monitoring features are valuable."
"They have a fingerprint feature that is very awesome. OCR is very awesome to have too."
"The product has a centralized console for everything."
"The most valuable feature is we can develop what we want. If we have an old or new requirement, they are able to support us to develop it all within one month."
"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification. You can use the same agent. In terms of licensing too, it has a single license. When it comes to data classification, it supports open-source document platforms such as ChainSoft and OpenOffice."
"The classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"This solution helps classify what is confidential and what is not, allowing products to be installed at home if they do not contain confidential information."
"Microsoft Purview has helped improve my company's ability to discover sensitive data, as most companies would say that they improved in the whole posture on this field."
"The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention makes it way easier to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information within the organization."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."
"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention protects the organization from user data getting out that should not be out and works very well when assessing the ability to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information."
"Insider risk management and data retention are beneficial."
"If we can prevent information from going out, eventually, when a regulator is asking about our security measures, we can show what we've been doing."
 

Cons

"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"They have a roadmap for the Linux platform and Mac as well, and in the next quarter, they might have patch management also for Windows. However, they don't have that much for Linux and Mac. So, we need those things in Linux and Mac as well."
"The tool should include better AI features."
"The product needs to improve its support so that users can just log in and create tickets as opposed to sending emails. Sending emails is difficult to track. It also needs to work on its analytics platform."
"The solution’s performance must be improved."
"The performance could be better."
"I rate the overall solution 3 out of 10."
"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."
"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels. It is a little daunting at first if you don't have prior knowledge, and there is a little bit of a learning curve for setting up the labels. Some of the setup wizards could be more helpful from an AI perspective. They can streamline the setup through more AI technologies so that you don't have to jump through so many hoops and different menus and dropdowns. It would be useful to have a setup wizard that is more hands-off and engaging for setting up the information type labels. If you tell them this is what we're trying to protect, it should basically start to lead you down that path of best practices. Such a feature would be great."
"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."
"At this time, I have not seen a return on investment with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention."
"I see that there's a lot of content in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, and when I click on it and look around, I wonder what certain features do, but there's not enough documentation and explanation."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"I would say the improvement of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention could be in the propagation of policies, as if you create a policy, it may take up to 48 hours to propagate to devices, and this might take a little bit longer than ideal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool has a fair price."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
"They offer a lot of features in a single bundle. So, if you want to remove some features from GTB, you can remove those. You don't need to buy those, and the price will reduce accordingly. I am very happy with the pricing."
"The tool is not expensive."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."
"The cost works out to about $15 per user per month."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
"You get the solution in a bundle if you get the E5 suite."
"Though I am not a specialist, the tool is quite expensive."
