We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Purview Data Governance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Great for software update needs, operating system version updates, and security policy enforcement."
"Technical support, in general, has been quite helpful."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"You can set up automated dates to alert on internal data."
"MIP also provides strong information rights management settings, such as the ability to specify who has access to content and at what time."
"Microsoft Purview stands out for its automatic data recovery system, which prioritizes critical data for the fastest restoration."
"The most valuable feature is the tracking activity and device onboarding."
"I really like the entire system for auto-labeling content. It's a very refined system. I use the Keyword Query Language to define refined string-based metadata, and then I can really go deep into the specific data with the specific properties labeled in such and such a way."
"It is critical that Purview delivers data protection across multi-cloud and multi-platform environments. That is the number one reason that people are adopting hybrid and best-of-the-breed approaches. Especially in banking, it is critical because people want to protect, govern, and secure their data. This is one of the first conversations that happens with security and the architecture group on the client side."
"Purview helped us automate and control our data without having to rely on people to manually tag documents with specific retention periods."
"Microsoft Purview is extremely stable."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It would be great if Intune offered better data protection controls for BYOD Windows PCs."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"We have had some issues automating our document management with Power Apps. I haven't been super-disappointed with anything except for Power Apps, which kinda drives me nuts. I think it's because I am a coder who can do things properly, and I keep trying to do things there, but it's not working out the way. The security team is pretty quick. I'm kind of a thorn in their side. I always try to get around stuff. They haven't come to me for anything saying, "Hey, I can't find this information." They're pretty good. Maybe, there's a lack of documentation, but that doesn't seem to be an issue for our team."
"Some of the menu headings may not be easy to understand for some people."
"One area for improvement is the detection of data types. This is really important. It has some of that functionality, but I consider it very limited. Maybe they can add some custom programming or machine learning could be particularly useful for the detection of the nature of the data."
"One drawback of Microsoft Purview, though it's beneficial and easy to use, is that when you start plugging in connectors for third-party sources when setting the solution up for data collection, it becomes a bit more tricky."
"I'd like to see them improve the training for implementing this type of solution."
"The product must provide better integrations with OS X and iOS."
"Blueprints and landing zones like we have in Azure would be great to see in Purview. The solution could offer a baseline or blueprint of recommended settings for compliance regulations such as GDPR and ISO, which could be applied with a simple switch in the options."
"Data quality has been a highly requested feature among customers."
