Purview's multi-platform capabilities, supporting iOS, Mac, and Android, have been invaluable to me. As a beginner in device management software, the prospect of using another option with a large web portal felt daunting. Purview's ability to manage devices across different operating systems saved me significant time. At my previous company, all internal data lived in Azure, but client data resided in Salesforce. This siloed structure made comprehensive data control impractical without a tool like Purview that seamlessly supports ingestion from non-Microsoft data sources. Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure Dynamics 365 and Office 365 is even stronger than its ability to integrate with third-party solutions. It's crucial that Purview was built with critical regulations from around the world in mind, especially for those of us in the European Union where EU regulations apply. This is a key consideration for everyone involved in data governance. While some frameworks offer vast data capabilities, the sheer volume of work required for a medium-sized business to ensure compliance with regulations across all these frameworks would be insurmountable. I initially found the DLP system overwhelming due to its capabilities exceeding the needs of our small organization, where I implemented simpler policies. However, it proved valuable for ensuring compliance with GDPR, and PCI DSS and provided visibility into sensitive data sharing. Purview has saved our organization a huge amount of money and time. Through Purview, we were able to streamline our technology stack by consolidating the number of solutions we relied on. This prompted us to re-evaluate our vendor landscape, ultimately leading us to migrate everything to Microsoft and leverage their comprehensive suite of tools. Surprisingly, most of the functionalities we previously paid for were already available within the Microsoft ecosystem. This simplified our IT infrastructure, transitioning us from a predominantly on-premises setup to a cloud-based one, with Microsoft solutions forming the core of our cloud environment. Purview has improved my ability to stay on top of compliance.
