We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments."

Cons
"We've had issues with data connectors for Teams.""We'd like to see the solution expanded to include firewalls and endpoints.""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."
