Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Collibra, Informatica and others in Data Governance."The most valuable feature is the tracking activity and device onboarding."
"Microsoft Purview is scalable."
"Has a good interface and is reasonably priced."
"Data authentication enables us to classify documents based on whether they should be restricted for internal consumption or permitted for external sharing."
"Purview helps mitigate risk and allows us to govern the information being shared among apps and devices."
"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."
"Microsoft Purview is extremely stable."
"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."
"The new workflow engine is based on the web app rather than the Java-based approach."
"It is robust solution."
"Overcoming certain control issues would significantly enhance our overall satisfaction."
"There are some non-Microsoft file formats that are not supported."
"I have some concerns about the separation of roles in Purview from the Microsoft tenant, as well as how they interact with the security portal and endpoint manager."
"Frequent daily updates from Microsoft can cause interface elements like buttons to appear and disappear, making navigation unpredictable."
"Purview's data loss prevention for macOS endpoints has some limitations, and the end-user experience of recovering from a failure is lacking."
"There are some limitations with regard to the lineage of data from different parts of the system."
"Although you can explore the data, that creates a great interest in data lineage or the data flow. How does it go from a source to a platform to a Power BI report, for example? It is possible, to some extent, to see that with Purview, but the lineage feature requires some manual work on the development side or more work from Microsoft to improve on it."
"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."
"SAP should come up with specialized services as per their customer's requirements."
"I would like to see harmonizing with some of the external third-party products so that it will all be within SAP."
