Microsoft Purview eDiscovery helps us to assign roles and information to users. Microsoft is a global solution, especially when discussing Office 365 and everything associated. Since it's a global market, communication happens worldwide. Considering this, it's crucial to be mindful of the regulations in each part of the world. Various policies like GDPR come into play. It's really important to look into the specific regulations of each region and align our policies, solutions, and services accordingly. Nowadays, everyone is using Microsoft 365. Keeping track of every user's activity without a centralized solution is challenging. A centralized management system helps us monitor and trace all organizational activities. This is essential for managing integration and ensuring the competency of the company. The solution has significantly reduced the time to address an inside threat or time to action. It's been effective, and I would rate it a hundred percent. I don't have to spend any additional time. It's an automatic feature. I click, and it happens automatically. Microsoft Purview eDiscovery has also saved money. We can invest our time in other tasks. I rate it an eight out of ten.

I rate Microsoft Purview eDiscovery a six out of ten. It still has some gaps. My advice is to prepare for updates and keep track of the roadmap. Check the messages you get from Microsoft so that you're aware when features change. You should also test the solution first to ensure it does what you think it will do. There are things with Teams data, like meeting recordings, that you need to see in practice. You need to verify that they are where you think they are when you target a search.
Purview's data connector platform for non-Microsoft data-source ingestion is not too bad. It's a WYSIWYG and has a nice UI, but not the greatest. You can bring in TSPs and other things from other sources if you need to. I haven't had a case where that has been necessary but I have heard of other places that are in need of it. However, there are other platforms, like Nuix, that can do it. The machine learning, if it's leveraged properly, could positively affect the solution's speed, but refining the searches seems to be more effective than taking the time to train models to be more accurate. It offers a little bit of everything, but it's not really specialized. It's just another suite of tools for a particular task, in this case, for ediscovery for litigation. Having a grasp of searching helps, including the Keyword Query Language. It's a bit finicky and there are some limitations to what you can do with Purview. I would advise you to read Microsoft's website on it. They have a pretty good Wiki for it.
