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."One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"I can reach devices or computers over the internet. I don't need to worry about the network connectivity between the offices. I can manage any device. That is the most important part."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"Purview helps mitigate risk and allows us to govern the information being shared among apps and devices."
"The most valuable feature is the tracking activity and device onboarding."
"Microsoft Purview's primary benefit lies in safeguarding sensitive and confidential data, thereby mitigating the risk of internal data exfiltration."
"It has notable features for maximizing the value of your data. The data discovery and the data analytics parts are great both on-premises and on-cloud."
"You can set up automated dates to alert on internal data."
"Microsoft Purview is scalable."
"Data authentication enables us to classify documents based on whether they should be restricted for internal consumption or permitted for external sharing."
"The audit log has been a lifesaver for a lot of reasons. Historically, when using SaaS products, there were always questions about how the audit was going and whether we were sufficient out of the box. Purview has many capabilities available through centralized reporting that provide a view of a specific segment."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"It would be better if I could integrate it with my core group policy. I would like to have a group policy in my current environment, which has strict control, but those things are still missing. Although it has maximum compliance and security, it's not available on-premise."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"There's quite a lot of development that they can do within their Intune dashboard. I think there are too many lines hyperlinked to move you around. Others, in contrast, give you a simple dashboard and an intuitive administrative walkthrough."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"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."
"Non-Microsoft use cases are not very high. It's limited for now."
"There are negatives to the compliance aspect of Purview in that you get a lot of false positives with some of the native scanning and rules in the platform. A lot of them need tweaking to get a more realistic handle on what data there is."
"Another area for improvement is in managing the business glossary terms. If they could provide the same type of method that we use to configure the scan rule sets, that would be helpful. Currently, there is no option like this, so we have to do it manually. Automatic detection would be great."
"The custom data classification for the African region needs to be improved."
"Enhancing the tool's capability to connect to multiple sources would be valuable."
"Overcoming certain control issues would significantly enhance our overall satisfaction."
"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."
