Tech lead at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Automated data discovery has streamlined management while configuration remains complex
Compared to Big-ID, Microsoft Purview Data Governance looks complicated to me. I do not feel it has a good user-level UI. The interface feels a little complicated compared to Big-ID. I did not appreciate the configuration part. It felt complex, whereas when I went for a Big-ID demo, the interface looked better and was easier to understand for any user.

Pros

"Infogix support stands out in terms of quality and response time, and it is really easy to speak with them by phone or by email."
"It is an integrated solution that provides end-to-end capabilities for managing the data. It is very useful for cleaning the data.

It enables us to provide the best service to the customers. We also get great support from Infogix."
"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."
"MIP also provides strong information rights management settings, such as the ability to specify who has access to content and at what time."
"Purview helps mitigate risk and allows us to govern the information being shared among apps and devices."
"The DLP part and the AI related ones are the most valuable features; I mostly appreciate their automated data discovery."
"I think Purview does as good a job...I'll say that it is as stable as the data governance maturity that exists within an organization. It can't be more stable than that."
"Has a good interface and is reasonably priced."
"The DLP part and the AI related ones are the most valuable features; I mostly appreciate their automated data discovery."
"The most valuable aspect of Purview is its PowerShell connectivity, enabling automation."
 

Cons

"The 360-degree view for the customers needs to be improved."
"We would like this solution to be available in our local language. In our region, people are not fluent in English. It would be nice to have this solution in Portuguese and Spanish. Its workflows are great, but it would be useful to have business flow at a high level because we need to work together with business users. We need more capabilities for business users to understand something in terms of data."
"While Purview's data connector platform can ingest information from non-Microsoft data sources, it is slow to do so and the information may become outdated."
"The current event-based retention management is very poor."
"Non-Microsoft use cases are not very high. It's limited for now."
"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."
"Compared to Big-ID, Microsoft Purview Data Governance looks complicated to me. I do not feel it has a good user-level UI."
"The product needs improvement to edit the number of assets. It needs to be more inuitive as well."
"Support should be improved in the form of good documentation and video lessons where a person can check things out. There is a community, but it takes a lot of time if we want to get an answer to a question."
"In terms of the competence of the tools with the Microsoft ecosystem, the product can do better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is much lower than Informatica. Its licensing is very easy to understand. It is not too complex. There is no maintenance fee. The support is included with the license. Its licensing is subscription-based, which makes it easy to define the budget and other things. It also makes it easier to plan and understand how to use the solution. It uses the pay-as-you-use model, so you can start small and expand the solution and pay as per your usage."
"It is cheap. It is based on consumption. If somebody wants to start using it, the price is definitely cheaper than a tool like Collibra."
"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."
"The price is reasonable because most of our clients already have an E3 license, which makes implementation easy."
"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."
"Purview's price is pretty high when you factor in storage costs."
"The pricing is reasonable because it's part of the 365 E3 or E5 license you buy."
"The price is a little bit high, but it's worth the money because it has a lot of features."
"Microsoft Purview is a subscription-based service, so we need either an E3 or E5 license to use it."
