"It's a quite comprehensive solution and it scales quite well within our required scale as well, which is very useful."
"We can centralize and manage everything much more effectively with this tool."
"I primarily use this solution for hybrid deployment, security, securing resources and for integration purposes. In terms of security, we have been using the B2B/B2C hybrid integration with the certificate authentication."
"The security features are great. They will report in advance to you in the case of suspicious activity."
"We haven't had any problems with stability. Everything works fine."
"It has made our work easier in that it’s simplified everything for us."
"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."
"For Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure, Dynamics 365, and Office 365, I would give it a 10 out of 10. It provides all the insights and information."
"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."
"Because everything is on Microsoft and we use Azure, integration with the product is easier. That's the most important thing when you use many Microsoft products. It's easier to integrate everything in one place."
"One of the valuable features of Purview is the ability to create a legal hold on a user's account within the compliance portal. That's pretty useful when it comes to any litigation or if you want to redeem the content within a mailbox, OneDrive, or a generic public SharePoint site."
"The product has improved compliance and confidence. We are aware of the data that is leaving our organization. It provides confidence in data management and information storage."
"The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"The product could be more cost-effective."
"When it comes to Azure, creating certain things or getting different resources isn't very clear. You need a certain level of knowledge of the system. It could be a little bit more friendly so that some of the things can be done easily, but after everything is created, it's easy to use."
"Technical support could be faster."
"I would like to dive into some of the things that we saw today around the workflows at this Microsoft event. I cannot say that they need to make it better because I do not have much experience with it, but something that is always applicable to Microsoft is that they need to be able to integrate with their competitors. If you look at IDP, they do not integrate with Okta."
"The product takes at least ten minutes to activate privilege identity management roles."
"Better integration with external governance products would be a welcome addition to Azure AD."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Lacks integration between applications and phones."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."
"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing."
"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."
"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"Technical support is awful."
