It is important to me that Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments. Otherwise, we would have to have multiple DLP solutions. It is very important to me that the solution was built taking into account critical regulations from around the world. It makes it easier to templatize deployments for data loss prevention. I use the tool for data loss protection. The tool works fairly well in remediating policy violations. There could be a little bit of improvement in policy tips. Policy tips aren't consistent across different experiences. The tool has greatly impacted the visibility of most of our customers. Some of our customers didn't realize they had a lot of PII data being sent externally until after the tool was implemented. Later, they become more aware. The solution enables us to show our compliance as close to real-time as possible. It has affected our meetings with compliance regulators. We don't save time and money directly. The tool saves us time and money by saving on fines for regulatory compliance violations. Without the solution, one of our customers would have been fined about $2,500,000. It is important to me that the product can connect to iOS, Mac, and Android devices, as well as data in other SaaS apps. It's not a complete solution unless it can be used everywhere. We are implementers. People evaluating the product must understand the types of data and the compliance models they must adhere to. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I would rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention an eight out of ten. It is not specifically created for security purposes but rather functions as a branch for Microsoft, from what I can observe. However, they are actively working on improvements. I hope that eventually, it will be rated a ten out of ten. Currently, when comparing it to other systems we are using, such as Symantec DLP, it falls on the lower end. We have only considered using Purview to help reduce actions on insider threats, but it could potentially be helpful for our ESS experts. Our goal is to use Purview to serve multiple departments instead of 5,000 users within a single tenant. Purview requires some maintenance because our managers have to do so after the deployment stage. The maintenance stage comes in, as the task for our information security managers is to analyze alerts and likely repeat certain steps such as creating an incentive prototype, establishing rules, and creating new DLP rules. This involves constant management processes, which are more like operational processes. I would highly recommend Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention for researching and implementing data loss prevention measures, especially for mid-size businesses. As an enterprise-level organization, we have higher standards and demands. However, I believe small and mid-size businesses would find it particularly beneficial. Purview addresses all the traditional data management problems and offers specifications that are not commonly found in the enterprise sector. By using Purview, businesses can save on costs and efforts, particularly smaller ones that may lack a sufficient number of staff members with expertise in information security, DLP, and data management. Unlike enterprises, these businesses might not have the luxury of hiring specialized roles such as solution architects, data architects, and a full range of information security experts, which makes Purview an attractive solution for them.

Only people with permission can access the document when we share a document in Microsoft Teams. We need to have good business processes to use the product. It is important to me that Purview can connect to iOS, Mac, and Android devices. If Carbon Black is installed in our system, we must put it on passive mode while using Microsoft Purview. The product is very well integrated. We do not have to pay more to make the best use of the solution. Everything is part of the E5 license. Storage costs less compared to other products. It's very important for me that Purview was built taking into account critical regulations from all around the world. Since we share a lot of information with people from other countries, respecting their compliance and regulatory systems is crucial. Educating users is very important. Irrespective of whether it is an employee, partner, or consultant, people should be aware of how to protect themselves and the company while they work. Change management is very important. I use DLP on my iPad. I have an iPhone, and I like to have access to different systems. It's very important to me to have the flexibility to choose my endpoint. Purview has helped reduce the number of solutions I need to interact with because it integrates everything and has become an integral part of my workday. Many employees would use office computers for tax filing and other personal needs. I was working for the regulatory and governance department. When I configured Purview and scanned all the data, I could see all the information of the employees. I automate everything with metadata. If we choose the metadata option for financial documents, Purview will associate these documents with a level of confidentiality. The AI’s automation speed and accuracy of risk detection are good, but to use the features well, we should know our processes very well. The solution's AI is very sharp. We need to protect data and confidential documents. The product makes me feel secure. It ensures that the people outside our organization don't have the right to access our data. We can also automate email alerts. Microsoft releases regular updates to protect personal data. The solution’s regulations help organize our company. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The fact that Purview works across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments, is important, in spite of the fact that we mainly use Microsoft and Azure cloud. It's good if we plan, in the future, to move to another cloud service. Also, it's good that Purview can connect to iOS, Mac, and Android devices. The more tools we can integrate the better, because it enables us to scale very fast, even though right now we don't use it on iOS and those other systems. Purview is still very new for us, even after one year. We're still looking into how things can be done. We're a global company and there are many policies and many different laws across the globe. Sometimes we can't do everything we could theoretically do with the tool. It's a powerful tool but we are still discussing legal matters across the globe. Regarding maintenance of Purview, we just check if it's up to date and what updates Microsoft has provided. But we don't have to do too much. I started working with this tool one year ago and I'm really impressed with its capabilities. I have worked in other banks and we had to use so many things to get one thing done, so I have a positive impression of Purview. I would definitely recommend trying it.

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.

I would advise others to definitely go to the documentation first and plan ahead. It is definitely something you plan, and it definitely requires a kind of a crawl-walk-run approach, so you definitely want to plan for it. I would also suggest taking advantage of the testing and reporting features that are available to be able to do a pilot and test it before you actually deploy it. I would rate Microsoft Endpoint DLP a nine out of ten. There is a little area for improvement, but it is definitely the best in class.
