We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention 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."I like that Defender is integrated and doesn't have a third-party payload trying to advertise subscription renewal."
"Microsoft Defender for Endpoint comes pre-installed in Microsoft Windows."
"It comes included with the Windows license."
"Defender is stable, I haven't had any problems with viruses when using it, and it's easy to update."
"Its simplicity is the most valuable. It also has very good integration. We like it."
"It integrates very well with all Windows workstations or other Microsoft Endpoint products. It also works quite well. So far, I have not had any issue that hasn't been sorted out. It doesn't use too many resources, so you don't have to install different things."
"Provides good vulnerability assessment."
"It is stable and very easy to use."
"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."
"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."
"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 can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
"I rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's stability a ten out of ten."
"The product is easy to configure."
"There could be an increase in security for the solution."
"The solution has minimal customization options, especially compared to Mandiant, so we want to see more scope for customization. A single portal for customization would also be a welcome addition."
"The frequency of the patching, and the frequency of the updates, are not included with the free version."
"Reporting could be improved. I would like to see how many security incidents occurred in the last six months, how many devices were highly exposed to security risks, and how many devices were actually compromised."
"The solution should be updated by Microsoft with new features from time to time."
"Threat intelligence has the potential for improvement, particularly by integrating more sources."
"Lacks some additional integration."
"It is inexpensive but could be cheaper like anything else."
"The support is poor."
"There is no AIP for Linux systems. That's a setback. Another thing it's lacking is libraries to work with Python. It has libraries for C# and C++, for example, but not for Python and, these days, Python is very useful."
"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
"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 solution should provide better integration with other systems."
"Technical support is awful."
