Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool."
"It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device."
"Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous."
"Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."
"The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year."
"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"The technical support is excellent."
"Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
"Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time."
"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature."
"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
