Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention Reviews

We use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention for the entire life cycle and not just DLP. That is, we use it for discovery, classification, and DLP.

Earlier, our customers had no control at all over compliance, and confidential documents that were going out were not at all looked into. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention has been a huge benefit to our clients in this regard.

I like the whole value proposition of Microsoft Purview, particularly the DLP and integration with external solutions.

Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure, Dynamics 365, and Office 365 is important to us because it's all about compliance.

Organizations have various compliance policies including the regulatory policies that are defined within the organization and those for a particular region. Therefore, it is important to our organization that Purview is built taking into account critical regulations from around the world.

This solution enables our clients to show compliance in real time and has helped them in their meetings with compliance regulators.

Purview Data Loss Prevention provides presentations to educate users on how best to handle sensitive data. When the user doesn't know whether a document should be classified under a certain label, Purview will provide suggestions or will auto-classify the particular document. It has automatic labeling capabilities.

It's important that Purview provides data protection for iOS, Android, and data in other SaaS apps because our customers have heterogeneous environments. Purview perfectly fits into the heterogeneous space.

Purview has reduced the number of solutions needed to interact with each other and has coexisted with them. Some customers have completely replaced their solutions with Purview, and others have Purview for classification labeling and a third-party solution for the DLP verdict.

It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated.

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.

Everybody wants information protection, but not all of them can afford the M365 license. I would like Purview to be a standalone product or solution.

We've been working with this solution for the past three years.

It is definitely stable.

Our clients are medium to large organizations, and Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention has to be a scalable solution for them.

Overall, Microsoft's technical support is good, and I would give them a rating of six out of ten.

Neutral

The initial deployment is straightforward. We can quickly configure the policies, but the classification and labeling take time.

The solution does require monitoring.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product.

I recommend Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention and rate it at nine on a scale from one to ten.

We use the product to set up policies. 

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part. 

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is stable. 

The tool's scalability is great. 

We have dealt with Unified and Premier support. Whenever I raise a ticket, I start researching the answer as well. 

The tool's implementation is easy. 

We have seen ROI with the product's use. 

I have Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention on Mac, but I do not use it daily. 

We use GCP, and it is good that the product can expand to it. 

It is good that the product goes automatically into the sensitivity limits of a country. 

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention saves time in the implementation area.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.  

We use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to prevent data loss on our devices.

We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies.

The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement. For instance, we encountered an email in our environment that needed to be deleted from all user mailboxes. This process required us to involve multiple security administrators. It would have been easier if we could highlight the email after completing the email trace and have the option to add or soft delete it, rather than having to go to the Action Center.

I have been using Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention for one year.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is stable and meets Microsoft’s SLA.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention can scale effectively as long as there is space available for additional licenses.

I give Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention a seven out of ten.

We currently have 160 users.

I recommend Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention.

With this product, you can protect your data from getting out of the company, or falling in the wrong hands. You protect your data leakages. It's a very huge subject. It's very important.

The main part I like about it is, that quite a few of the DLP features are built into the latest server operating systems. The reliability of these is good and there's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems. They work well. 

The setup is straightforward. 

VM people say you cannot use just one product; you need multiple products across the network and you have to deploy to the backups.

The DLP could always be better.

Overall, they should make their Hyper-V and the clustering more stable. VMware offers very good clustering, for example. Microsoft needs to improve a lot in terms of stability.

Technical support is awful.

I've used the solution for almost 10 years.

The solution is very stable and extremely reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution has been very scalable. 

As an integrator, we don't have a single client. We have so many clients. The average number of users can be as low as 100 and can go as higher 1,000. It varies. Not everyone implements DLP. A basic level of DLP is implemented, however, it is a very niche implementation and DLP is done only if someone has to be compliant. For example, a company might need either an SSA 2018 certification or SOC 1 Type 2 certifications. 

You can troubleshoot easily via documentation, which is readily available. 

Technical support seriously needs work. They are not helpful at all.

Microsoft has kind of become a monopoly now and there are so many users. They are more interested in selling the products. They're not interested in supporting them. Unlike the other companies who have at least a ticket system, here, when you are a monopolistic company, you don't care. You know the products will sell, and people will buy them.

Negative

You have the full encryption file and folder, however, for that, we use a different product. We don't use Microsoft. BitLocker has given us encryption features, however, we don't use that. Mostly, we prefer McAfee for that.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I see a lot of improvement on the installation part when compared to earlier days when it was a little bit tough. Right now, the documentation is good and implementation is not taking that much time. You're up and running quickly. The final aspects might require additional time, however, 80% of it you finish pretty fast. 20% of the time is when you want to fine-tune, depending on your site requirements There it might require an extra effort.

There are some products that are available on a subscription basis. Predominantly, what I use is the one that comes with the operating system and I use other third-party products basically to cover anything that's missing.

We are an integrator as well for Microsoft DLP.

Our deployments are mostly on-premise or private cloud, not on the public cloud.

Overall, I'd rate the solution a seven out of ten.

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. 

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention ensures users don't accidentally send inappropriate information outside. 

The AI advancements can improve the false positives. 

I have been using the product for five years. 

We use Premier support. 

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's deployment concepts are straightforward. Documentation is also available. 

I am satisfied with the tool's pricing. 

We consider user parity and user experience across all devices. 

My company is in the SMB domain, so we do not require multi-cloud features. 

Our primary concern is North American regulations, but the tool's compliance with international regulations like GDPR is also helpful. 

I rate it a seven out of ten.
