Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention Reviews

The solution's IDM (Indexed Document Matching), EDM (Exact Data Matching), and DCM (Described Content Matching) features have been most effective in identifying and mitigating potential data leaks.

We faced a performance issue with the tool when we didn't get alerts for file uploads.

I have been using the solution for eight months.

I would recommend the solution for larger companies.

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.

Neutral

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.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

The solution’s pricing is reasonable.

It is easy to upgrade the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

With this product, you can protect your data from getting out of the company, or falling in the wrong hands. You protect your data leakages. It's a very huge subject. It's very important.

The main part I like about it is, that quite a few of the DLP features are built into the latest server operating systems. The reliability of these is good and there's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems. They work well. 

The setup is straightforward. 

VM people say you cannot use just one product; you need multiple products across the network and you have to deploy to the backups.

The DLP could always be better.

Overall, they should make their Hyper-V and the clustering more stable. VMware offers very good clustering, for example. Microsoft needs to improve a lot in terms of stability.

Technical support is awful.

I've used the solution for almost 10 years.

The solution is very stable and extremely reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution has been very scalable. 

As an integrator, we don't have a single client. We have so many clients. The average number of users can be as low as 100 and can go as higher 1,000. It varies. Not everyone implements DLP. A basic level of DLP is implemented, however, it is a very niche implementation and DLP is done only if someone has to be compliant. For example, a company might need either an SSA 2018 certification or SOC 1 Type 2 certifications. 

You can troubleshoot easily via documentation, which is readily available. 

Technical support seriously needs work. They are not helpful at all.

Microsoft has kind of become a monopoly now and there are so many users. They are more interested in selling the products. They're not interested in supporting them. Unlike the other companies who have at least a ticket system, here, when you are a monopolistic company, you don't care. You know the products will sell, and people will buy them.

Negative

You have the full encryption file and folder, however, for that, we use a different product. We don't use Microsoft. BitLocker has given us encryption features, however, we don't use that. Mostly, we prefer McAfee for that.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I see a lot of improvement on the installation part when compared to earlier days when it was a little bit tough. Right now, the documentation is good and implementation is not taking that much time. You're up and running quickly. The final aspects might require additional time, however, 80% of it you finish pretty fast. 20% of the time is when you want to fine-tune, depending on your site requirements There it might require an extra effort.

There are some products that are available on a subscription basis. Predominantly, what I use is the one that comes with the operating system and I use other third-party products basically to cover anything that's missing.

We are an integrator as well for Microsoft DLP.

Our deployments are mostly on-premise or private cloud, not on the public cloud.

Overall, I'd rate the solution a seven out of ten.

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. 

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention ensures users don't accidentally send inappropriate information outside. 

The AI advancements can improve the false positives. 

I have been using the product for five years. 

We use Premier support. 

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's deployment concepts are straightforward. Documentation is also available. 

I am satisfied with the tool's pricing. 

We consider user parity and user experience across all devices. 

My company is in the SMB domain, so we do not require multi-cloud features. 

Our primary concern is North American regulations, but the tool's compliance with international regulations like GDPR is also helpful. 

I rate it a seven out of ten. 

We use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to prevent data loss on our devices.

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

The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement. For instance, we encountered an email in our environment that needed to be deleted from all user mailboxes. This process required us to involve multiple security administrators. It would have been easier if we could highlight the email after completing the email trace and have the option to add or soft delete it, rather than having to go to the Action Center.

I have been using Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention for one year.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is stable and meets Microsoft’s SLA.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention can scale effectively as long as there is space available for additional licenses.

I give Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention a seven out of ten.

We currently have 160 users.

I recommend Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention.
