Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost. This could be in comparison to the current pricing for enterprise customers and also for individual users. Providing an option for individuals to purchase Purview technology at a reduced cost would be beneficial. For instance, if I, as an individual, want to have Microsoft Purview Information Protection, it should be available at a more affordable price. Creating a separate low-cost version specifically tailored to individual users and a separate higher-cost version for enterprises would make the product more accessible and appealing. This approach could make Purview more popular, encouraging more individuals to start using and exploring its services.

There is potential for more integration in the use of AI. I believe the new capabilities of CoPilot, which Microsoft is starting to make available on its platform, will be valuable. The ability to refine and integrate regulatory frameworks, as well as address ongoing threats and attacks, can help us improve our defense. However, there is room for improvement in bringing things to market quickly and utilizing intelligence in the platform. The more automation and AI capabilities we deploy, the sooner we can benefit from real-time analysis and data gathering. Improvements in these areas are sought after and welcomed. The maturity of the Defender ecosystem and its extension into various areas of the Broad Azure and Microsoft 365 landscape are also appreciated, with more opportunities on the horizon. While there is always room for improvement, there is also a lot to celebrate in terms of using the tools we have and learning how to use them effectively.

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. I want to see Microsoft being more flexible; Purview is excellent for an MS environment, but we can't use the DLP capabilities with third-party products, so it's limited there. We can use other tools for that, but it would be good if Microsoft implemented that. I want to see more robust reporting capabilities; reporting in dashboards and navigating through alerts can be laborious. If Microsoft could develop the reporting, the product would be more beneficial.

Pricing

"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 solution's price varies since Microsoft comes with bundled resources."
"The price is determined by the enterprise licensing, either the E3 or E5 licensing or the EMS plus security and other feature licensing."

Valuable Features

"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."
"A valuable feature is the agent installed on the endpoint."
"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."

Room For Improvement

"The scanning features might need improvement because you need to have certain prerequisites to implement them."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
