Helps with extra collaboration and ensures communication is within the framework
Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance's integration with other devices is helpful since most people are always on their mobiles. The product must consider different regulations since you cannot measure everything from a standard. The solution helps us to save time and money because we can automate manual work. I rate it a nine out of ten.

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."
"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."
"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."
"If we can prevent information from going out, eventually, when a regulator is asking about our security measures, we can show what we've been doing."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the mature O365 DLP, which works with SharePoint and Teams."
"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"The tool's most valuable feature is in the area of OCR."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."
 

Cons

"The product should incorporate more automation with the help of AI."
"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."
"Technical support is awful."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"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."
"It could cover more solutions and technologies."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."
"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing."
