A data governance management solution that helps to restrict sensitive information
We use the product for data governance management. It helps us to create policies and restrict sensitive data.  The tool's most valuable feature is restriction.  Immuta is behind in updating upgrades and software releases.  I have been using the product for the last three years.  Immuta is…

Streamlined data management and improved compliance with efficient document classification
The most valuable feature is data classification retention since I deal with terabytes of data, and managing and monitoring it simplifies the process. Additionally, the system provides a dashboard showing our compliance status, which aids in managing compliance tasks. The compliance score feature allows me to assess and compare our compliance across organizations. I've also noticed efficiency gains, especially in handling subject access requests. Previously, these tasks were manual and time-consuming, but now they are streamlined, reducing the process from weeks to just a day.

"Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is tightly integrated with email solutions like Office 365."
"We have more visibility of data and how it is being shared."
"We move data between clouds and also from on-premises to the cloud. There is no other mechanism to check if this data is moving according to industry standards for such things as security, bandwidth, and SSL encryption mechanism. We would not be able to see these metrics without Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager."
"Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is tightly integrated with email solutions like Office 365."
"One of the valuable features of the tool is that it works effectively."
"The best aspect is that it requires little to no time for implementation if I am using all of Microsoft's tools."

Cons

"Immuta is behind in updating upgrades and software releases."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing the monitoring capabilities."
"The implementation process with Immuta was quite challenging, primarily due to issues related to database handling and the syncing of user groups."
"We have had some challenges with their support when we were migrating to the cloud version. We we had some issues, and it took us several attempts to get a proper responses as part of that migration."
"One area for improvement is the technical support for Purview. With all the other solutions from Microsoft we get really good technical support, but with Purview we had a compliance error and we couldn't find the solution. Purview would not point us to the correct solution, it just indicated the error. We had to troubleshoot it and find out what led to this error. We contacted technical support but it took them one week to identify the root cause of the error."
"The speed and accessibility, particularly in the user interface, require significant work."
"Integrating add-on licenses, which currently offer additional features at a cost, into the base product would be beneficial, especially for a charity organization to avoid incurring extra costs."
"There could be improved automation for handling tasks in bulk or in an automated way."
"We've had issues with data connectors for Teams."
"Microsoft Purview has moved its portal from classic to premium with some display improvements, yet not much in options and functionalities."
"Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is a stable product used by organizations utilizing Outlook as their email client. Despite stability, it needs to be more user-friendly and competitive compared to other eDiscovery tools."
"Policy configuration, particularly for web interfaces and OCR scanning, presents challenges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Immuta's pricing is expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are moderate because we have other licenses for Microsoft services. The pricing is in line with that."
