It helps us by reporting on and auditing leaks and breaches
One important feature is data security, which both end users and the organization seek. Microsoft Purview offers data protection across a multi-cloud and multi-platform environment. It's critical that Purview connects to iOS, Mac, and Android. We could only secure some of our data if it only covered Windows. It provides a comprehensive view of the entire ecosystem's threats and compliance in real time. It's very easy to use. Purview's compliance features are crucial. We have to match some cases in other countries to our own to comply with the policies, procedures, and regulatory frameworks here.

Automating compliance processes with effective data classification
One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data. For the remaining data, even if it is PII, it may not be classified correctly. This could be due to incorrect or missing data in the dataset. Therefore, I still need to do some manual review to complete the exercise. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Securiti had a feature similar to data mesh, allowing users to directly access remote data through the Securiti UI. This would reduce the need for other tools like Snowflake.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think Purview does as good a job...I'll say that it is as stable as the data governance maturity that exists within an organization. It can't be more stable than that."
"The data lineage feature stands out. It tracks where the data comes from and any changes made."
"It is pretty early, but the decision to go with this investment was largely driven by the simplification of our information security technology management stack. That is the primary objective. Once you simplify and you have a connected structure, it allows for faster adoption there. It also gives us additional capabilities as we go on using the technology that we are familiar with, and we do not have to depend on outside parties to come in and tell us how to do certain things."
"The cataloging tool is definitely the most valuable... It tells you about all the data you have in your tables, which helps people understand our data. We now know what data we have."
"Microsoft Purview Data Governance enables us to show our compliance in real time."
"The sensitivity labeling is the most valuable feature because it is the foundation for automating the encryption process and ensuring proper data handling across the organization."
"One way that Microsoft Purview has benefited our organization is by preventing data leakage, which saves the company money on fines and protects its reputation."
"It gives you the opportunity to know your data and apply policies around it. If those policies are flouted, you can always track what's happening. You have options such as alerting the person who is committing that action, or you can take automatic action by blocking, for example, an email that is been sent externally. It's very useful."
"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."
"The process mapping is a good tool. We have a nice view of their data."
"The automated way of identifying and classifying personal information is very beneficial."
"Technical support for Securiti is good."
"The drag-and-drop features make Securiti easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"I would recommend Securiti to others with challenges like obtaining human resources for timely classification."
"Data discovery is a fantastic product."
 

Cons

"There should be more clarity about the costing, particularly how the cost is calculated, especially when utilizing health reports and quality features."
"I would like to have AI functionality on the dashboard to help me analyze and report on the data that we capture using Purview on a daily basis."
"One of the challenges is that Microsoft changes things so quickly that sometimes you're just playing catch-up, and sometimes these changes aren't communicated effectively."
"Licensing is frustrating due to multiple modules and licenses. The feature might be available in the console, but it won't work without the proper license, creating confusion."
"The current event-based retention management is very poor."
"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."
"It supports only a limited number of tools and technologies that pertain to Microsoft products. If you want to leverage other solutions such as Workday or Oracle Fusion, features will be coming up, but as of now, it is for the Microsoft suite."
"There are differences when looking at an incident in the M365 portal versus Purview, and the main one is the advanced hunting. In the M365 portal, you can write KQL queries and fetch data. If that was available in Purview, it would be very good."
"With the formation and education, specifically the security education, they could update the educational video more often."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."
"While the software is functionally robust and intuitive, there is a challenging learning curve."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."
"Technical support needs enhancement. It would be helpful to have better documentation and more accessible support, especially when raising support tickets."
"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable considering its value."
"Licensing is frustrating due to multiple modules and licenses. The feature might be available in the console, but it won't work without the proper license, creating confusion."
"The price is reasonable because most of our clients already have an E3 license, which makes implementation easy."
"The pricing is decent. It is neither too low nor too high. Given its capabilities, the pricing is justified."
"Price-wise, I think it's very generous and accessible to not just enterprises but small to medium-sized companies as well. I think it's very fair in terms of how they break apart the storage and the actual computing, and that makes it very accessible. So, that is a very big plus for Purview."
"The pricing is reasonable because it's part of the 365 E3 or E5 license you buy."
"To get the full features of Purview, we currently need E5 enterprise licenses, which are expensive."
"The price is a little bit high, but it's worth the money because it has a lot of features."
