Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft and others in Microsoft Security Suite."Multifactor authentication is valuable."
"The time to onboard is pretty short."
"Data authentication enables us to classify documents based on whether they should be restricted for internal consumption or permitted for external sharing."
"Microsoft Purview is scalable."
"The most significant value lies in its seamless integration into the Azure ecosystem, automating various processes and reducing operational burdens."
"The availability of pre-designed policies tailored to specific geolocations and customer requirements is a valuable feature."
"I don't know if I've gotten much value out of Purview personally, but our security team loves it. Our biggest concern is leakage or theft of our data because we have a lot of PII and stuff that has not been released. We like the insights Purview provides and the way the solution can track and manage things. I'd say that was probably their favorite piece of it so far. From everything the security team has told me, the policy management and DLP features are working spectacularly."
"Data segregation is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"We use a third-party API called Nebula API to integrate the account for authorization. The time-bound access area in Entra can be a problem. It can be improved in terms of the granularity of the permissions."
"I'd like to see them improve the training for implementing this type of solution."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to Purview's data connector platform in supporting ingestion from non-Microsoft data sources."
"There are some limitations with regard to the lineage of data from different parts of the system."
"Purview's data loss prevention for macOS endpoints has some limitations, and the end-user experience of recovering from a failure is lacking."
"Blueprints and landing zones like we have in Azure would be great to see in Purview. The solution could offer a baseline or blueprint of recommended settings for compliance regulations such as GDPR and ISO, which could be applied with a simple switch in the options."
"The API needs some improvement when connecting to non-Microsoft API sources. This is a limiting factor."
"Purview's data connector platform for non-Microsoft data sources is good, but there is some functionality that hasn't been developed yet. There are some servers that it can't connect to yet, because they're still in a trial process."
