Helps organizations unlock value from their data by providing an integrated platform for sensitive data discovery, security and access control, and data use monitoring
Our use cases are for data access control and data access control provisioning. We also use it for roles and policies.  Immuta was pivotal for us in making sure that only people who should be accessing specific datasets, get access to the datasets, and to make sure that those that should not be…

Effectively controls and classifies sensitive information, providing robust protection for our documents and emails
When implementing Microsoft Purview Information Protection, I aimed to automatically classify sensitive data and ensure its protection. The goal was to streamline the process of identifying and securing sensitive information to enhance overall data security measures. Microsoft Purview Information Protection has significantly improved our company by ensuring data security across all locations. I no longer worry about the safety of my data, especially sensitive information. Whether it is critical or not, the system reliably protects our information without any concerns. It has saved us time overall. We are looking at a time savings of around two to three hours a day. It also helped us save money, especially considering the high cost associated with data. Ensuring that our data is secure and not at risk has translated into significant internal cost savings.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Instead of manually tagging data, Immuta’s auto-discovery capability identifies sensitive information, such as country labels, gender information, and other personal data."
"All features available are good."
"What I appreciate the most is its user-friendliness."
"The tool's most valuable feature is restriction."
"It ensures that sensitive data is automatically safeguarded, even for email attachments, regardless of the user or device."
"We can restrict access or specify who can see sensitivity labels, which can be based on the classification level. We can encrypt restricted content and limit who can see that from an internal view, too, so Purview is a powerful tool."
"Before using it, we had a lot of unlabeled data, and the tool helped us quickly and accurately label a large number of documents."
"The UI is user-friendly, and I have observed that it improves further each year."
"Incorporating data loss prevention capabilities built into the Microsoft platform to endpoints, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers, can also help prevent data loss and is highly advantageous."
 

Cons

"The implementation process with Immuta was quite challenging, primarily due to issues related to database handling and the syncing of user groups."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing the monitoring capabilities."
"Immuta is behind in updating upgrades and software releases."
"We have had some challenges with their support when we were migrating to the cloud version. We we had some issues, and it took us several attempts to get a proper responses as part of that migration."
"There is room for improvement with the policy tips feature."
"Microsoft can improve the affordability of Purview Information Protection by offering it at a lower cost."
"Microsoft Purview Information Protection can improve in terms of scan concurrency and scan processing time."
"There is potential for more integration in the use of AI."
"Our primary concern is third-party application visibility. Many people choose other DLP tools, as they can search the Office 365 suite and detect sensitive information across thousands of other apps. The product is weak compared to the competitors on the DLP front, but the classification is good; the tool needs a bit more maturation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Immuta's pricing is expensive."
"The price is determined by the enterprise licensing, either the E3 or E5 licensing or the EMS plus security and other feature licensing."
"The product is affordable, and our clients agree. Sensitivity labels come with the MIP license at an additional $2 a month per user, an excellent deal for auto-labeling capabilities."
