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

"My favorite Purview feature is auto-scanning. Once we set up Purview, we can automatically scan multiple data sources when new data comes into specific databases, like SQL and Oracle. We don't need to rediscover the new data or do anything manually because it automatically happens."

"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."

"Their data labeling or data classification is particularly valuable because we want to categorize all of our data into confidential, public, or internal."

"I really like the entire system for auto-labeling content. It's a very refined system. I use the Keyword Query Language to define refined string-based metadata, and then I can really go deep into the specific data with the specific properties labeled in such and such a way."

"One of the best features is the classification rules, especially the scan rule sets. They are really useful, especially when we need to understand the current data the company has to ensure that all the problematic data can be put under someone's responsibility."

"It is designed to seamlessly connect to various data sources, which is particularly beneficial for our customers who primarily use Microsoft technologies."

"The time to onboard is pretty short."

"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."

More Microsoft Purview Data Governance pros

"The initial setup is easy."

"The process mapping is a good tool. We have a nice view of their data."

"Overall, I would rate Securiti a nine out of ten."

"Data discovery is a fantastic product."

"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."

"The drag-and-drop features make Securiti easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy."

"The automated way of identifying and classifying personal information is very beneficial."

"It's very scalable. I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability."

Cons

"We are currently in the rollout phase, so I am not entirely sure about specific areas of improvement. However, there are some problems with DLP rules, and it would be great if the security around DLP could be expanded."

"The Microsoft Purview data connector platform, which supports ingestion from non-Microsoft data sources, can be somewhat complex."

"Although you can explore the data, that creates a great interest in data lineage or the data flow. How does it go from a source to a platform to a Power BI report, for example? It is possible, to some extent, to see that with Purview, but the lineage feature requires some manual work on the development side or more work from Microsoft to improve on it."

"I lose a little bit of that control when we're talking about third-party connectors. Compliance-wise, I would like to see more ability to audit from a user perspective, where I could extrapolate what the user was thinking or trying to do."

"Overcoming certain control issues would significantly enhance our overall satisfaction."

"There are some limitations with regard to the lineage of data from different parts of the system."

"In terms of the competence of the tools with the Microsoft ecosystem, the product can do better."

"The product must provide better integrations with OS X and iOS."

More Microsoft Purview Data Governance cons

"Technical support can be hit or miss. Some technical staff are great, but others are not very effective. On average, I would rate the technical support four out of ten."

"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."

"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."

"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."

"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."

"It's not very fast, and it's difficult to get an answer."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The interesting part is how they are bundling the version into the E5 stack. If it was not for that inclusion, this would have been a difficult conversation for us, so kudos to Microsoft on that. Separating it out may become a problem for customer retention. It is definitely a good move on Microsoft's part to include it as part of any existing or any system upgrades for customers that were on E3."

"Microsoft Purview is the best option I have encountered when it comes to price. Maybe some of my information is outdated, but Microsoft offered it so that you could use it almost without paying."

"Currently, the licensing differs for the governance side compared to the risk and compliance side."

"I consider it cost-efficient because of the metrics it provides."

"While Purview's standard pricing might not be accessible to most small businesses, we were fortunate to benefit from the educational pricing which made it a financially viable option for our needs."

"There is some competition out there, but the other solutions are quite expensive. They are enterprise tools that are a bit more mature but the license costs $100,000 for some of them. Purview is pay-per-use and a lot of companies are interested in that."

"The categorization within the licensing could be improved. There are a lot of solutions within Microsoft Purview. If the licensing could be a bit clearer and the solutions could be better categorized according to function and across multiple environments, that would be excellent. The licensing is very confusing."

"The pricing is reasonable because it's part of the 365 E3 or E5 license you buy."
