We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems.""One of the valuable features of Purview is the ability to create a legal hold on a user's account within the compliance portal. That's pretty useful when it comes to any litigation or if you want to redeem the content within a mailbox, OneDrive, or a generic public SharePoint site.""I rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's stability a ten out of ten.""We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies.""Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part.""The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts.""The product can block the uploads to cloud services.""The product has improved compliance and confidence. We are aware of the data that is leaving our organization. It provides confidence in data management and information storage."

"The UI is easy to use.""As a cloud-based service, it is very easily implemented.""On DLP terms, Zscaler Cloud DLP ensures that data doesn't go outside of the organization. So on the network level, Zscaler does a pretty good job.""The most valuable aspect of Zscaler Cloud DLP is its automatic DLP feature.""The customer service and support are very good.""You can close your data protection gaps with Zscaler. You can quickly find all the classified, sensitive data across the cloud.""Its impressive scalability allows the combination of multiple dictionaries and using them as one engine, resulting in narrower data loss gaps.""The initial setup is easy."

Cons
"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing.""A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that.""I would like Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to be on the source code or SQL databases. It is difficult to do classification and labeling when you have a third-party source code or a third-party Oracle database. It is seamless when it comes to Microsoft documents but is not so with third-party source codes. Microsoft needs to work on it a little bit more.""Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive.""Technical support is awful.""The solution should provide better integration with other systems.""There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive.""The AI advancements can improve the false positives."

More Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention Cons →

"Zscaler Cloud DLP needs to improve its compatibility with other security tools.""You won't find anything that can help you with the configuration part and other areas related to the product if you search for proper or exact details of Zscaler Cloud DLP online in very easy language.""The tool must provide IP-blocking features.""There could be additional ways to define proximity. Additionally, they should provide some exclusion options for specific policies and an ability to control the DLP engine.""They should work on a replica account. There could be alerts and replica files sent to the DLP team during data collection.""There aren't really any missing features that I have witnessed.""The customers would benefit from more robust documentation and conversations around configurations, as it is slightly complex.""There could be a feature to view the VPN tunnel activities in terms of configuration."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is a part of our Microsoft licensing. We pay for a yearly renewal. Its price is reasonable for the size of the organization we are. It is fairly competitive, and you get what you pay for. We have an E5 license, and a part of understanding the E5 license is to see what all you get with it. If you really look at it from that standpoint, you get a lot of value. You have Defender and all its security features in there as well. Their licensing is fairly flexible. They have different programs. We've seen ones where you could pay for up to three to five years in advance. There is also a monthly pay-as-you-go type of deal, but we're doing a yearly renewal and fixing the budget."
  • "Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
  • "The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."
  • "It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."
  • "We are using the E3 license for Microsoft 365 with the E5 compliance license add-on."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."

  • "Zscaler Cloud DLP is moderately priced. We pay around 2 million rupees per year."
  • "The product is a little more expensive than other tools."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts.
    Top Answer:The Endpoint DLP engine has a lot of delays. The just-in-time protection feature does not always work as expected, mainly when working with network files in a more classic environment.
    Top Answer:We use the solution to build zero-trust networks. We use it to block everything except the trusted URLs. We get a bunch of URLs from the customers, whitelist them in the solution, and everything else… more »
