Achieve comprehensive data protection with reliable performance and room for enhanced discovery accuracy

The product is still in a growing phase. I could see that many use cases in their product are not capable enough in terms of detecting or protecting. Compared to other products, they are in the middle of bringing their solution up to the mark, so it is not a full-grown solution. They have to get more accurate results in terms of data discovery and classification. The second thing is their support; support from Microsoft takes a lot of time to get a response from their support team. The third thing is their OCR capability is not that great in terms of identifying the documents. We would love to see response times of less than 24 hours. Additionally, there is no way to check the policy's current status in terms of whether it got synced or not. You have to wait and test the use cases after 24 hours or after 48 hours, and once it starts working, then it appears the policy got implemented.

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

"The reporting capabilities of Microsoft Purview are crucial. They provide insights into potentially non-compliant situations and suggest ways to rectify them. The solution helps to automate many tasks, allowing human operators to focus on areas where they offer the most value."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Purview Information Protection is its ability to respond to sensitive data shared on Teams chat by deleting the message, not just monitoring or logging."

"I recommend Microsoft Purview Information Protection for organizations using the Microsoft ecosystem."

"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."

"It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device."

"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."

"Purview saves customers time by offering them a quick way to assess a situation and insights into how to improve."

"Purview is about auditing and discoverability. We need to ensure people aren't releasing information that they shouldn't and that they're doing multi-factor authentication or accessing it from the correct devices. It aids in reducing silos within organizations, enabling staff to easily find documents and contacts without exhausting human resources."

More Microsoft Purview Information Protection pros

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

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

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

"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."

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

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

"Data discovery is a fantastic product."

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

Cons

"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."

"There should be more training and communication regarding new features. I may be missing those communications, but it often seems like changes happen in the Purview portal without notice. Having a roadmap or updates about new releases would be helpful for demonstrating to clients. If things are constantly changing, I sometimes look silly when I log in, and things have moved or changed."

"The communication around Microsoft product names and functionalities can be confusing, like when they combined Office 365 Risk and Compliance with Azure Purview. Then, they added Purview Hub to Fabric, and people thought Purview Hub would do data lineages, but it didn't. It isn't full-fledged Purview. It's just one feature set."

"During the initial setup, I found the lack of policy segregation at the sub-site level for DLP policies to be a challenge."

"Microsoft customer service is hit or miss. Sometimes, I get a fast and knowledgeable response, while other times, I've experienced delays and received no resolution."

"I wouldn't recommend Microsoft Purview Information Protection for petabytes of documents as performance might be affected."

"Most of the capabilities they mention are not working as expected. That is where the challenge lies."

"Scalability is affected by the time it takes to update policies."

More Microsoft Purview Information Protection cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Initially, Purview's cost seemed quite high because it was for personal use. I was scanning a tiny tenant and thinking, "If I extrapolate this to an enterprise-scale tenant, it will be quite costly." However, I talked to people who had compared it to other products on the market, and they're spending five figures to get started. At least, Purview has a free trial, so you can try some of the features early on."

"The product is affordable, and our clients agree. Sensitivity labels come with the MIP license at an additional $2 a month per user, an excellent deal for auto-labeling capabilities."

"The price is determined by the enterprise licensing, either the E3 or E5 licensing or the EMS plus security and other feature licensing."

"The tool's pricing is fairly low, less than 100,000 for a year."

"The pricing and setup costs are transferred to my clients, who find it affordable and are satisfied with what they receive."

"The tool's pricing is not a problem for customers because they often purchase it as part of a bundle. With an E5 license, for example, users get access to the entire functionality. This is one of the main reasons why many customers are choosing Microsoft."
