Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention vs Proofpoint Email Data Loss Prevention (DLP) comparison

"The tool's most valuable feature is in the area of OCR."

"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."

"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."

"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."

"One of the valuable features of Purview is the ability to create a legal hold on a user's account within the compliance portal. That's pretty useful when it comes to any litigation or if you want to redeem the content within a mailbox, OneDrive, or a generic public SharePoint site."

"The product is easy to configure."

"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."

"We have too many features included in the solution. These include third-party malware detection as a primary feature and a secondary feature focused on dealing with various security threats."

"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing."

"Technical support is awful."

"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."

"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."

"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."

"The tool's user interface and document fingerprinting have been very poor for my customers because uploading files manually can be problematic."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's licensing is expensive."

"The support is poor."

"The tool is expensive."

"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."

"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."

"Though I am not a specialist, the tool is quite expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."

"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."

"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
