We performed a comparison between Azure Firewall 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."The feature that I have found the most valuable is the control over the network permissions and the network."
"The Layer four features are okay and meet my business needs."
"It provided ease of maintenance. If a new firewall was needed, we only had to run the pipelines for this. So, the maintenance was very easy."
"The solution is very stable. When comparing it to other environments, it's actually quite impressive."
"I think that one of the best features is definitely the premium version, along with the IDPs in terms of the intrusion detection and prevention system."
"The solution should be capable of self-scaling, which is one of the features we like about it."
"The most valuable feature is the integration into the overall cloud platform."
"All its features are good. That's why we recommend it."
"One of the valuable features of Purview is the ability to create a legal hold on a user's account within the compliance portal. That's pretty useful when it comes to any litigation or if you want to redeem the content within a mailbox, OneDrive, or a generic public SharePoint site."
"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."
"The product is easy to configure."
"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."
"The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."
"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."
"The tool needs to improve the onboarding and transition process for on-prem users."
"It needs a lot of improvement, especially on intruder detection. They are working hard on that."
"The threat intelligence part could be better. I don't see why our customers have to get an additional solution with Azure Firewall. It would be great if they made it on par with Palo Alto."
"The development area and QA area could be improved. With those improvements, we can improve projects and take even less time to implement them."
"For larger enterprises, they need to adjust the scalability."
"The solution lacks artificial intelligence and machine learning. It might be in the roadmap. However, currently, it's not available."
"The solution should incorporate features similar to competitors like split tunneling."
"The interface could be improved, it's not very user friendly."
"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 scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."
"I would like Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to be on the source code or SQL databases. It is difficult to do classification and labeling when you have a third-party source code or a third-party Oracle database. It is seamless when it comes to Microsoft documents but is not so with third-party source codes. Microsoft needs to work on it a little bit more."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"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."
"The platform can be challenging to navigate and has the potential for improvement."
