Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most significant value lies in its seamless integration into the Azure ecosystem, automating various processes and reducing operational burdens.""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.""Purview helped us automate and control our data without having to rely on people to manually tag documents with specific retention periods.""Their data labeling or data classification is particularly valuable because we want to categorize all of our data into confidential, public, or internal.""The ability to classify data quickly and effortlessly is arguably Microsoft Purview's most valuable feature.""The data classification part of the solution is excellent, especially as it gives us an insight into our sensitive data within Microsoft 365.""The documentation is very exhaustive. Anyone can go ahead and try different use cases.""Data segregation is the most valuable feature."

"The tool gives us the ability to trace the path of an incident.""This product makes it easy to manage personal data.""One valuable aspect of the solution is its cloud-based nature. Users can just pay the fees and get started instantly."

More OneTrust DataGovernance Pros →

Cons
"It supports only a limited number of tools and technologies that pertain to Microsoft products. If you want to leverage other solutions such as Workday or Oracle Fusion, features will be coming up, but as of now, it is for the Microsoft suite.""Overcoming certain control issues would significantly enhance our overall satisfaction.""There are differences when looking at an incident in the M365 portal versus Purview, and the main one is the advanced hunting. In the M365 portal, you can write KQL queries and fetch data. If that was available in Purview, it would be very good.""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.""Some of the menu headings may not be easy to understand for some people.""If we could have a view something like we have in CrowdStrike—which is, I believe, the biggest competitor to Microsoft when it comes to security—a node nodal view, which we also have in Defender, that would make it a more complete, one-stop solution. That would save a lot of time for the admins and the engineers.""The product needs improvement to edit the number of assets. It needs to be more inuitive as well.""Privacy features should be integrated into the core product rather than offered as optional add-ons, as privacy is not a luxury but a fundamental requirement."

More Microsoft Purview Cons →

"Deployment is a big issue.""The tool is an amalgam. It's a collection of loosely integrated pieces and parts that don't work well together. There is room for improvement there. My team reached out to the support team, and their experience was not satisfactory.""The integration with third-party products could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is moderate. It's not too expensive, but it's not the most competitive."
  • "Microsoft Purview is the best option I have encountered when it comes to price. Maybe some of my information is outdated, but Microsoft offered it so that you could use it almost without paying."
  • "There is some competition out there, but the other solutions are quite expensive. They are enterprise tools that are a bit more mature but the license costs $100,000 for some of them. Purview is pay-per-use and a lot of companies are interested in that."
  • "Aside from the complexity of the pricing model, the price itself is realistic. Features like AI components and automatic classification require additional licenses. Still, anyone can start using Purview with a basic E3 license if they're using Microsoft 365 and grow with additional licenses as needed. Overall, we're satisfied with the price."
  • "Its pricing is good in terms of the features that they are providing, but there are many competitors in the market who can easily provide you with similar services at a lesser cost."
  • "The categorization within the licensing could be improved. There are a lot of solutions within Microsoft Purview. If the licensing could be a bit clearer and the solutions could be better categorized according to function and across multiple environments, that would be excellent. The licensing is very confusing."
  • "Price-wise, I think it's very generous and accessible to not just enterprises but small to medium-sized companies as well. I think it's very fair in terms of how they break apart the storage and the actual computing, and that makes it very accessible. So, that is a very big plus for Purview."
  • "Some people find the tier licensing system complicated, but it offers a lot of value for money if we use the features."

  • "There is a licensing fee that we pay regularly."
  • "The product is worth every penny."
  • "The solution is a low-cost option."

    Reviews from Real Users

    PeerSpot reviewer Kelly B., Solution Specialist at LobsterPot Solutions, says, “We're building a new system from scratch for our clients and wanted to include data governance. Their solution is hosted in Azure and it seemed logical to go with something that fits with that. Purview has a pretty good interface and I'm satisfied with what the solution does and the price it's being sold at. It integrates well with Azure technologies.” She also adds, “The initial setup was very easy, that's part of the appeal.”
