Marcelo Grandchamp - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables organizations to monitor the network and protect themselves from data leakage
The initial setup process is very simple and easy. We have no issues to do it for ourselves or our customers. The deployment takes less than 20 days. The integration is very simple. However, first, we must understand what we want to have on our network and what we want to prevent. If we don't have this information before we start the configuration, we will be lost. We must know what kind of protection we need in our company. We have LGPD in Brazil. It is similar to GDPR in Europe. It prevents any personal information from being linked to other companies without permission. We have to take care of the personal information of our customers, employees, and partners. To deploy the tool, we must understand what we need to do. We must download the whole package and have our infrastructure ready to receive it. We must get the SSL certification and start to configure our platform. When the process is finished, we must roll out a small portion of our network to ensure everything will be well. After that, we must do the full rollout.

Integrates well, connects with iOS and Android devices, and takes into account critical regulations from around the world
I currently work in the financial domain, and we have very strict regulations from national banks and the group side. Domain-related improvements could be really useful for organizations and banks. For example, sensitive information types are the basic level of information protection, similar to the Purview model. We start with creating or duplicating sensitive insights and editing them. I am talking about more sensitive information types that align with European regulations, especially in the financial sector. Having more variety would be beneficial. All of the EU considers sensitive information types in finance, but we need more variety, especially as a Ukrainian company. We face a lack of attention to our region, despite having the same strict regulations as EU companies. One point of improvement is related to organization and language issues. For instance, we use different sensitive information types for France, the UK, and other countries where we have offices. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't support the Ukrainian language, unlike Chinese and Japanese languages, which have deeper layers of understanding of information. It would be helpful to add support for Ukrainian. However, I understand that we are essentially bilingual, using both English and Ukrainian in our companies, and we are a minority in terms of languages. Other solutions, like ERP systems, offer localization for Ukraine and have partnerships with companies. Microsoft 365 also supports the Ukrainian language from a user perspective. However, unfortunately, Defender and Azure lack deeper settings. They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing. Purview includes sensitive info types covering a wide range of languages and country specifications. For instance, it includes passport numbers for Ukraine, but we also need a sensitive input type for our tax numbers. Currently, there is no option for our tax numbers, which forces us to duplicate the data. In contrast, they include all sorts of options such as driver's license numbers and insurance policy numbers for EU companies. It would be beneficial to have those presets available for us as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The monitoring features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is we can develop what we want. If we have an old or new requirement, they are able to support us to develop it all within one month."
"The classifications in place are very helpful in making policies for ensuring sensitive data can be contained."
"They have a fingerprint feature that is very awesome. OCR is very awesome to have too."
"I am impressed with the tool's ease of deployment."
"The product has a centralized console for everything."
"This solution helps classify what is confidential and what is not, allowing products to be installed at home if they do not contain confidential information."
"The main thing that I like about GTB is that it has a single agent for DLP and data classification. You can use the same agent. In terms of licensing too, it has a single license. When it comes to data classification, it supports open-source document platforms such as ChainSoft and OpenOffice."
"The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."
"For Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure, Dynamics 365, and Office 365, I would give it a 10 out of 10. It provides all the insights and information."
"The product is easy to configure."
"The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas."
"The solution's IDM (Indexed Document Matching), EDM (Exact Data Matching), and DCM (Described Content Matching) features have been most effective in identifying and mitigating potential data leaks."
"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
 

Cons

"To stay competitive, they should expand to smartphones."
"The solution’s performance must be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing additional availability requirements."
"The product needs to improve its support so that users can just log in and create tickets as opposed to sending emails. Sending emails is difficult to track. It also needs to work on its analytics platform."
"They have a roadmap for the Linux platform and Mac as well, and in the next quarter, they might have patch management also for Windows. However, they don't have that much for Linux and Mac. So, we need those things in Linux and Mac as well."
"It would be great if they have information rights management (IRM) on the same agent."
"The tool should include better AI features."
"The performance could be better."
"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing."
"Technical support is awful."
"There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful."
"All the security operations are better defined in Forcepoint, while in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, you will have to use a specific workflow and then an application to release blocked emails."
"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."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is not expensive."
"The tool's pricing is affordable and based on the number of endpoints."
"The tool has a fair price."
"Its price is very reasonable and competitive."
"When comparing GTB Technologies Inspector to other solutions you receive a good value for your money when considering all the features and benefits."
"They offer a lot of features in a single bundle. So, if you want to remove some features from GTB, you can remove those. You don't need to buy those, and the price will reduce accordingly. I am very happy with the pricing."
"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."
"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."
"You get the solution in a bundle if you get the E5 suite."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."
"It is a part of our Microsoft licensing. We pay for a yearly renewal. Its price is reasonable for the size of the organization we are. It is fairly competitive, and you get what you pay for. We have an E5 license, and a part of understanding the E5 license is to see what all you get with it. If you really look at it from that standpoint, you get a lot of value. You have Defender and all its security features in there as well. Their licensing is fairly flexible. They have different programs. We've seen ones where you could pay for up to three to five years in advance. There is also a monthly pay-as-you-go type of deal, but we're doing a yearly renewal and fixing the budget."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
