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

"Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance helps with extra collaboration and ensures communication is within the framework."
"The tool's most valuable feature is in the area of OCR."
"Because everything is on Microsoft and we use Azure, integration with the product is easier. That's the most important thing when you use many Microsoft products. It's easier to integrate everything in one place."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
"The product is easy to configure."
"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."
"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."
"When you are going to use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, most of the setup is already done by default as per your needs."
 

Cons

"The product should incorporate more automation with the help of AI."
"The tool's user interface and document fingerprinting have been very poor for my customers because uploading files manually can be problematic."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"The support is poor."
"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."
"It could cover more solutions and technologies."
"A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that."
"A major improvement is required in the solution's incident handling and alerting."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are using the E3 license for Microsoft 365 with the E5 compliance license add-on."
"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."
"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."
"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
"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."
"You get the solution in a bundle if you get the E5 suite."
"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."
