Really good encryption mechanism prevents man-in-the-middle and other types of attacks
It helps you configure the system and even offers ideas on how to resolve important security concerns in an organization. It lists out all the issues that happen when we move data from the cloud to on-premises. It gives you a detailed view of the known issues and helps with industry standards so that the cloud features completely align with on-premises. We can see whether our data security is matching the industry standards. It even offers prompts and ideas on items that you may not even have been aware of. It provides us with ideas on how to improve our proficiency in handling data in the cloud. And you can add notes for others in the reporting feature, so if there are any issues, others can refer to them. The fact that Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments is also important to us. We have most of our data on Microsoft but part of our data, our university websites, for example, is on Amazon AWS. 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 * SSL encryption mechanism. We would not be able to see these metrics without Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager. It gives you a dashboard on how to improve your setup on the Microsoft cloud or even AWS. And it gives us the same information if we push data from on-premises to cloud. Also, our users have a mix of operating systems. Most use Windows but there are also people who use macOS and Linux. With Purview, we can easily find the issues in Linux or more complex operating systems like macOS. We are notified of all issues with the help of Purview Compliance Manager.

An affordable and easily scalable tool that decreases the risk of data leakage in an organization
It is important to me that Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments. Otherwise, we would have to have multiple DLP solutions. It is very important to me that the solution was built taking into account critical regulations from around the world. It makes it easier to templatize deployments for data loss prevention. I use the tool for data loss protection. The tool works fairly well in remediating policy violations. There could be a little bit of improvement in policy tips. Policy tips aren't consistent across different experiences. The tool has greatly impacted the visibility of most of our customers. Some of our customers didn't realize they had a lot of PII data being sent externally until after the tool was implemented. Later, they become more aware. The solution enables us to show our compliance as close to real-time as possible. It has affected our meetings with compliance regulators. We don't save time and money directly. The tool saves us time and money by saving on fines for regulatory compliance violations. Without the solution, one of our customers would have been fined about $2,500,000. It is important to me that the product can connect to iOS, Mac, and Android devices, as well as data in other SaaS apps. It's not a complete solution unless it can be used everywhere. We are implementers. People evaluating the product must understand the types of data and the compliance models they must adhere to. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments."
"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."
"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."
"If we can prevent information from going out, eventually, when a regulator is asking about our security measures, we can show what we've been doing."
"I rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's stability a ten out of ten."
"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"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."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
"The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"We'd like to see the solution expanded to include firewalls and endpoints."
"We've had issues with data connectors for Teams."
"It could cover more solutions and technologies."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
"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."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."
"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."
"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."
"The support is poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are moderate because we have other licenses for Microsoft services. The pricing is in line with that."
"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."
"It is a part of our Microsoft licensing. We pay for a yearly renewal. Its price is reasonable for the size of the organization we are. It is fairly competitive, and you get what you pay for. We have an E5 license, and a part of understanding the E5 license is to see what all you get with it. If you really look at it from that standpoint, you get a lot of value. You have Defender and all its security features in there as well. Their licensing is fairly flexible. They have different programs. We've seen ones where you could pay for up to three to five years in advance. There is also a monthly pay-as-you-go type of deal, but we're doing a yearly renewal and fixing the budget."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."
"We are using the E3 license for Microsoft 365 with the E5 compliance license add-on."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."
