We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID 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."Single sign-on provides flexibility and helps because users don't want to remember so many passwords when logging in. It's a major feature. Once you log in, you have access to all the applications. It also enables us to provide backend access controls to our users, especially when it comes to groups, as we are trying to normalize things."
"The solution has come a long way. Now, with the Azure AD B2C offering integrated as well, we've got a full IAM-type solution for our customer-facing identity management. In addition, when it comes to user journeys we now can hook in custom flows for different credential checking and authorizations for specific conditional access."
"User and device management is the most valuable feature."
"Azure is the leading market solution because of its history, features, and maturity."
"The security and compliance features are very helpful. The online information on the site is well documented."
"The solution has some great features, such as identity governance, and user self-service. The Outlook application is very good and is used by a lot of people even if they are using Google services."
"The way the laptops are joined is valuable. We can take advantage of that in terms of being able to log in and do things. It is easier to change passwords or set things up."
"It's very easy to run and it's part of their ecosystem and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon."
"The product can block the uploads to cloud services."
"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."
"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."
"Because everything is on Microsoft and we use Azure, integration with the product is easier. That's the most important thing when you use many Microsoft products. It's easier to integrate everything in one place."
"I rate Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's stability a ten out of ten."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part."
"There's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems."
"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"In terms of connecting the web application, there is technology for single sign-on. When we use it, the solution opens very slowly. It might be a bandwidth issue, and some content will not work on that portal."
"Microsoft services and most familiar third-party applications are currently supported, but we can't find many other platforms that integrate with Office 365 or Azure Active Directory. Microsoft should develop connectors for different applications and collaborate more with other vendors to cover a broader range of applications."
"I want to be able to identify the audiences effectively and manage them."
"Microsoft needs to make improvements in this regard and extend its services to other operating systems as well, especially when considering their widespread usage."
"Our users sometimes experience issues from having multiple Microsoft accounts, which can cause some confusion and hassle."
"It would be an improvement if Authenticator made it easier to recover the app if you reboot your cellphone and lose access."
"In terms of stability, sometimes the more applications you integrate, the more it becomes a little bit unstable."
"We would like to have more granularity in the Azure conditional access in order to be able to manage more groups for devices and for applications."
"The AI advancements can improve the false positives."
"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."
"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels. It is a little daunting at first if you don't have prior knowledge, and there is a little bit of a learning curve for setting up the labels. Some of the setup wizards could be more helpful from an AI perspective. They can streamline the setup through more AI technologies so that you don't have to jump through so many hoops and different menus and dropdowns. It would be useful to have a setup wizard that is more hands-off and engaging for setting up the information type labels. If you tell them this is what we're trying to protect, it should basically start to lead you down that path of best practices. Such a feature would be great."
"Technical support is awful."
"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"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."
