Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"We have more visibility of data and how it is being shared."
"Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments."
"Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous."
"Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."
"It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device."
"We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool."
"The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year."
"We'd like to see the solution expanded to include firewalls and endpoints."
"We've had issues with data connectors for Teams."
"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."
"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature."
"Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation."
"Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time."
