Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."
"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."
"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."
"The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year."
"I like the straightforward way of connecting with various data sources and destinations. That's the most valuable feature. It has built-in integrations for a lot of them, so the overall effort required for integrations is relatively low."
"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."
"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature."
"Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
"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."
"The challenge is the lack of flexibility in the SDKs, given the capabilities of the destinations."
