"The data lineage feature stands out. It tracks where the data comes from and any changes made.""We can prevent, block, or audit however we like.""Microsoft Purview's primary benefit lies in safeguarding sensitive and confidential data, thereby mitigating the risk of internal data exfiltration.""The e-discovery search is useful.""You can set up automated dates to alert on internal data.""The best part is that I can create classifications per my requirements. I use it to classify multiple platforms like AWS, GCP, Azure, and different file sharing systems.""The most valuable feature is the tracking activity and device onboarding.""The labeling is the most valuable feature for the companies I'm installing it for. Some of them have several thousand staff, and their concerns are around confidential or private data being shared. The labels and the policies involved with them give them that initial visibility."

Cons
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets.""Integration can be improved.""It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system.""The general support could be improved.""The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise."

More Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management Cons →

"There are some non-Microsoft file formats that are not supported.""The technical support has room for improvement.""Purview's data loss prevention for macOS endpoints has some limitations, and the end-user experience of recovering from a failure is lacking.""Non-Microsoft use cases are not very high. It's limited for now.""Some of the menu headings may not be easy to understand for some people.""The product needs improvement to edit the number of assets. It needs to be more inuitive as well.""It supports only a limited number of tools and technologies that pertain to Microsoft products. If you want to leverage other solutions such as Workday or Oracle Fusion, features will be coming up, but as of now, it is for the Microsoft suite.""It could reduce pricing to encourage usage."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product’s pricing is medium."
  • "The licensing model follows a per-user per-month structure."
  • "I rate the product's price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
  • "The tool is a bit costly."
  • More Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is moderate. It's not too expensive, but it's not the most competitive."
  • "Microsoft Purview is the best option I have encountered when it comes to price. Maybe some of my information is outdated, but Microsoft offered it so that you could use it almost without paying."
  • "There is some competition out there, but the other solutions are quite expensive. They are enterprise tools that are a bit more mature but the license costs $100,000 for some of them. Purview is pay-per-use and a lot of companies are interested in that."
  • "Aside from the complexity of the pricing model, the price itself is realistic. Features like AI components and automatic classification require additional licenses. Still, anyone can start using Purview with a basic E3 license if they're using Microsoft 365 and grow with additional licenses as needed. Overall, we're satisfied with the price."
  • "Its pricing is good in terms of the features that they are providing, but there are many competitors in the market who can easily provide you with similar services at a lesser cost."
  • "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."
  • "Price-wise, I think it's very generous and accessible to not just enterprises but small to medium-sized companies as well. I think it's very fair in terms of how they break apart the storage and the actual computing, and that makes it very accessible. So, that is a very big plus for Purview."
  • "Some people find the tier licensing system complicated, but it offers a lot of value for money if we use the features."
