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."

"The reporting is excellent. Limiting what people can see is also valuable, especially when tagging documents."

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

"Data segregation is the most valuable feature."

"Purview's greatest benefit for us is data discovery."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"I would recommend Securiti to others with challenges like obtaining human resources for timely classification."

"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."

"Technical support for Securiti is good."

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

Cons

"We have had some issues automating our document management with Power Apps. I haven't been super-disappointed with anything except for Power Apps, which kinda drives me nuts. I think it's because I am a coder who can do things properly, and I keep trying to do things there, but it's not working out the way. The security team is pretty quick. I'm kind of a thorn in their side. I always try to get around stuff. They haven't come to me for anything saying, "Hey, I can't find this information." They're pretty good. Maybe, there's a lack of documentation, but that doesn't seem to be an issue for our team."

"There should be more clarity about the costing, particularly how the cost is calculated, especially when utilizing health reports and quality features."

"he one thing it doesn't do is data quality."

"Another area for improvement is in managing the business glossary terms. If they could provide the same type of method that we use to configure the scan rule sets, that would be helpful. Currently, there is no option like this, so we have to do it manually. Automatic detection would be great."

"Setting up Purview in a production tenant proved challenging due to a lack of clear documentation on permission requirements."

"I try to avoid opening tickets with Microsoft due to long response times, which is frustrating."

"Running eDiscovery once a day takes quite a long time because it has to fetch your data. I also want the eDiscovery results to be improved. At the same time, I would like to get a centralized page where I could see records management applied to my Office 365 tenant visualized instead of waiting for a custom script to run through the complete tenant."

"Reflecting organizational changes within Purview is impractical."

More Microsoft Purview Data Governance cons

"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."

"While the software is functionally robust and intuitive, there is a challenging learning curve."

"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."

"With the formation and education, specifically the security education, they could update the educational video more often."

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

"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing depends on the client's requirements and the number of applications."

"Aside from the complexity of the pricing model, the price itself is realistic. Features like AI components and automatic classification require additional licenses. Still, anyone can start using Purview with a basic E3 license if they're using Microsoft 365 and grow with additional licenses as needed. Overall, we're satisfied with the price."

"The pricing is decent. It is neither too low nor too high. Given its capabilities, the pricing is justified."

"Microsoft Purview is priced in the middle. It isn't the cheapest, but it isn't the most expensive. It's affordable compared to other public cloud services."

"Microsoft Purview has a pay-per-use pricing model, so it's one of the most cost-effective tools, as your cost will be based on your usage. It's a pricing model that Microsoft has nailed down, making it great whether you're a small organization or a multinational, giant organization."

"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."
