Streamlined data management and improved compliance with efficient document classification

The most valuable feature is data classification retention since I deal with terabytes of data, and managing and monitoring it simplifies the process. Additionally, the system provides a dashboard showing our compliance status, which aids in managing compliance tasks. The compliance score feature allows me to assess and compare our compliance across organizations. I've also noticed efficiency gains, especially in handling subject access requests. Previously, these tasks were manual and time-consuming, but now they are streamlined, reducing the process from weeks to just a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have more visibility of data and how it is being shared."

"Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is tightly integrated with email solutions like Office 365."

"One of the valuable features of the tool is that it works effectively."

"Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is tightly integrated with email solutions like Office 365."

"The best aspect is that it requires little to no time for implementation if I am using all of Microsoft's tools."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to apply regulations and ensure compliance with various policies. It also provides tools for investigation, risk assessment, and security score evaluations."

"Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments."

"The system provides a dashboard showing our compliance status, which aids in managing compliance tasks."

More Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager pros

"Veritas Data Insight has been instrumental in managing and categorizing data across our storage repository. The tool identifies valuable business data and distinguishes it from non-essential data. This capability empowers us to separate and exclude unnecessary data from our long-term retention strategy. Its valuable feature is alert mitigation."

"It's a good solution."

"I love Veritas support."

"Data Insight is a good product to do everything. It is kind of transparent to administrators. It is also a very good solution with regards to GDPR compliance and regulations. Veritas is a well-established company, and it has a long legacy. Veritas solutions have expected stability and flexibility. It supports most of the flexible solutions in the market and has support for data protection, data monitoring, and things like that. In these ransomware times, it is a very important company with good solutions."

"The stability has been great."

"The most valuable features of Veritas Data Insight are the ease of use, one console deployment for the administration, and backups that can be done in minutes. It is a very fast solution."

"The features I find most valuable in Veritas Data Insight include its exceptional speed in classifying unstructured data and its user risk-scoring functionality."

Cons

"Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager is a stable product used by organizations utilizing Outlook as their email client. Despite stability, it needs to be more user-friendly and competitive compared to other eDiscovery tools."

"The customer service experience is not satisfactory. The support staff, who are often outsourced, seem not adequately equipped to handle issues quickly and efficiently."

"We'd like to see the solution expanded to include firewalls and endpoints."

"The speed and accessibility, particularly in the user interface, require significant work."

"Integrating add-on licenses, which currently offer additional features at a cost, into the base product would be beneficial, especially for a charity organization to avoid incurring extra costs."

"There could be improved automation for handling tasks in bulk or in an automated way."

"The speed and accessibility, particularly in the user interface, require significant work."

"Microsoft Purview has moved its portal from classic to premium with some display improvements, yet not much in options and functionalities."

More Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager cons

"I need more options for virtualization."

"The solution is not lacking any features at this time."

"Veritas Data Insight can improve the price."

"The nature of both data processing and start processes often involves varying timeframes for retrieval, mainly dependent on the historical data being accessed. When the request involves pulling information from six months or two years ago, the process may take longer."

"Its deployment can be a little bit complex. It should be easier to set up. The ease of use of this solution can also be improved, and it could have a cleaner, up-to-date, and intuitive GUI. There are a lot of competitors out there with much nicer GUI and easier setup. It should have a better connection with the cloud sources and much more monitoring. I would like to have a single management interface for on-premises and cloud deployments so that we don't have to switch between them. Its technical support can also be a little bit better."

"I need more options for virtualization. I know it's good for virtualization, but another product might be easier to work with, like sending to VendCap and Restore."

"Veritas Data Insight's reporting capabilities require enhancement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are moderate because we have other licenses for Microsoft services. The pricing is in line with that."

"It is my understanding that the license with one year of support is, per user, around 25 Euros."

"The price of Veritas Data Insight could improve, it is expensive."

"The solution is cost-effective."

"Licensing is based on the number of users or the usage in terabytes."

"For Veritas Data Insight, the usage is based on a per-terabyte model. The annual cost for this usage is approximately one million dollars. It would be roughly 50,000 dollars to provide a more accurate equivalent."
