Microsoft Purview Data Governance Reviews

I use the solution as a data catalog, to scan databases and report data insights. 

I use the tool in projects as a medium to provide information as reports to the stakeholders. 

I am impressed with the product's search and data catalog features. 

The product needs improvement to edit the number of assets. It needs to be more inuitive as well. 

I have been using the product for one and a half years. 

I haven't encountered any serious stability issues. 

The product is scalable. 

We split the data into dedicated customer-specific internal tools. My company made the business decision of choosing the solution which helped to manage data catalog, reports and connect databases in one place. 

The product's deployment was complex because it involved the connecting of different elements within the framework. I have been partly involved in the tool's deployment. I worked with the business requirements and user acceptance testing phase. I worked as a business analyst. There were the engineering team, DevOps team, and data engineers working on the project. We have a team who maintains the consistency of the data logs and data scans. 

I would rate the product a seven out of ten. 

I am a Windows user and connect the tool to the Azure platform to work on it. I have never used it on iOS and Android. I am sure that the multi-platform ability is a good feature of the product. I also find it important for the tool to be connected to data protection platforms. I think that it's a benefit to have the tool get data information from other cloud providers and platforms. It is also important that the solution was built taking into account critical regulations from all around the world. 

In my opinion, the tool has reduced the number of tools that I need to interact with. There was a project requirement from a customer where we were supposed to use a complete platform with the Azure framework. The solution has the potential to be used as a governance tool which helps to know where the data is placed, how it flows through the system, etc. I may use the AI and automation in Purview sometime later. 

I believe that the product speeds up compliance and Microsoft has documentation that can help with the same. The solution has helped me save time. For the tool's reporting part, we didn't need to rely on other tools and sort through manual files storing the information. 

We're building a new system from scratch for our clients and wanted to include the data governance. Their solution is hosted in Azure and it seemed logical to go with something that fits with that. I'm a solution specialist and we are partners with Microsoft. 

Purview has a pretty good interface and I'm satisfied with what the solution does and the price it's being sold at. It integrates well with Azure technologies. 

There are some limitations to the solution with regard to the lineage of data from different systems. I can see that everything works well, but if we start bringing in data from other systems not hosted in Azure the solution won't know whether it fits in the lineage space. Unfortunately, the solution only integrates with Microsoft Azure technologies so there is potentially some improvement that could be made in that area. In this case, we're lucky that the client has everything in Azure. 

I've only been using this solution for a couple of months. 

We currently have four Purview users. 

The initial setup was very easy, that's part of the appeal. 

Purview is reasonably priced and considerably less than most of its competitors.

I'm aware that the solution has some limitations, but that doesn't affect us in this case. If we do eventually need some features that are lacking, then we can look at other alternatives.

I rate the solution nine out of 10. 

We are using Microsoft Purview Information Protection. We want to do loss protection for our unstructured documents.

The integration ecosystem with Microsoft Purview is the most valuable aspect.

There is definitely room for improvement as this product is quite new. In terms of the competence of the tools with the Microsoft ecosystem, the product can do better.

We have been using the solution for almost a year.

The solution is not that stable all the time. Sometimes the issues are with the WiFi services, and it’s not on all the time. It needs more time to start up the services.

We do not really need scalability right now, so it still manages.

There is room for improvement in customer service. 

Neutral

The initial setup is quite easy.

It is cheap or free since we have an EFI license. It is free for the EFI user.

Be mindful of non-Microsoft ecosystem documents. While it is perfect for Microsoft documents, there is still room to improve for non-Microsoft documents.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
