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.

Enhancing data security with proactive protection and control
I've encountered some latency issues that appear to be related to the internet speed. When I install the agent on the laptop, the internet speed often drops from 100 MBPS to around 80 MBPS or even as low as 50 MBPS at times. The slow response seems to be connected to the fact that all network traffic is routed through this agent. The challenge arises when trying to analyze the logs, as every single click and action, even a single command in GitHub, generates a multitude of logs. This makes it difficult to extract relevant information. It would be helpful to implement filtering mechanisms so that we can sort and view the data based on software and vendor, providing more clarity and ease in analysis.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the mature O365 DLP, which works with SharePoint and Teams."
"The tool's most valuable feature is in the area of OCR."
"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 most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"When you are going to use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, most of the setup is already done by default as per your needs."
"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 device control is a big deal for us because we can actually lock out removable drives and different types of hardware. It allows us to have better control over what end-users plug into their computers, and we can have deny lists and tighten our security posture."
"The role-based access features for the teams that administer it is good."
"The core of its value lies in obtaining logs remotely and exercising control over what employees can or cannot use."
"It is easy to manage the DLP between MacOS and Linux."
"The console is friendly and it supports Mac."
"All of the features are effective, but the highlight feature of the product was the data layer inspection. When we talk about a DLP product, data packet inspection is very important. Securing data at rest is easy, but securing data in transit is challenging. We used it comprehensively to secure end drives, data transfers, secure hard drives, and end-user machines. It proved monumental in our operations."
"Compared to a lot of the USB management systems out there, Endpoint Protector is the only one that comes with true USB management and the DLP side of it. I'm pretty impressed because I've used several solutions with DLP and USB management, and I've never seen granularity like this solution has."
"The search for keywords is very important in our security operations because one of the key use cases we had was for the ability to search keyword-based on an internal database of keywords that have been submitted by other project managers within the company that's around intellectual property. The ability to search on keywords was part of that."
 

Cons

"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."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"The support is poor."
"A major improvement is required in the solution's incident handling and alerting."
"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
"Technical support is awful."
"Because it is only an Endpoint Protector at this point in time, it does not have a network DLP component. There's only an endpoint DLP component. In the future, it would be good if a network DLP component could be embedded and extended to have network DLP capabilities."
"It would be better if they had an inbound restriction feature. For example, I work out of my home from my personal computer. All my policies can be deployed while working. When I am done, I should be able to use my machine as my personal machine, and all these policies should be waived. In the next release, I want time bound restriction of the policies because most of these users were working out of home and using their personal computers."
"The only aspect that prevents it from being a perfect solution is the occasional slower response time."
"We are using it to only apply media restrictions. When we are installing a new agent, we have to install EPP manually on a device. It would be great if the installations can be done from the server instead of me going to each PC or device to implement EPP or using a policy. They should have some sort of system so that a domain admin can install EPP on all PCs from a central manager."
"It would be helpful if they offered discounted pricing for long-term contracts to serve customers who are interested in committing for periods of three years, five years, or longer."
"We are currently facing an issue where it is blocking the Winman software, which is something that we don't want to happen because we use it in our accounts department to pay taxes."
"It would be helpful to implement filtering mechanisms so that we can sort and view the data based on software and vendor, providing more clarity and ease in analysis."
"Customization could be a lot better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"You get the solution in a bundle if you get the E5 suite."
"We are using the E3 license for Microsoft 365 with the E5 compliance license add-on."
"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."
"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."
"The pricing depends on the customers."
"The software comes with a higher price tag when compared to other DLP solutions."
"It has a fair price. They just changed recently from perpetual licensing. When I bought it, I bought it on perpetual license, then they changed the whole company policy to go to subscription. It was a bit of a shock to us because we haven't upgraded it that many times. However, after speaking to CoSoSys directly, they gave us a very good renewal price."
"The product has average pricing."
"I don't have any issue with the licensing and pricing. I would love for it to be cheaper, but at the same time I'm getting a lot from it."
"[The pricing] is reasonable compared to what's out there."
"The pricing is reasonable for this particular market."
"For what it's doing, the cost is somewhat high for us, but it's the cost of doing business with the clients that we have."
