How are customer service and support?
The technical support team takes a long time to resolve issues. We contacted the support team for issues we faced while migrating from another DLP to Microsoft Purview DLP. Although the support team said they would address the issues within 24 hours to a maximum of two days, they took around four to five days. The waiting period for the support team is longer.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously worked with Symantec DLP. I prefer Symantec DLP over Microsoft Purview DLP because Symantec is easy to connect and navigate. Comparatively, managing and conducting investigations on Microsoft Purview DLP is difficult. Sometimes, Microsoft Purview does not work as expected.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution’s pricing is reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
It is easy to upgrade the solution.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
