Find out in this report how the two Data Governance solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Instead of having to manually write down which tables and columns exist and then describe them, you can do that process in one go, by simply connecting to a source. That's a huge time-saver and a great benefit of Purview."
"I use the tool in projects as a medium to provide information as reports to the stakeholders."
"I think Purview does as good a job...I'll say that it is as stable as the data governance maturity that exists within an organization. It can't be more stable than that."
"The product has helped us save both time and money."
"The most valuable feature is the tracking activity and device onboarding."
"The labeling is the most valuable feature for the companies I'm installing it for. Some of them have several thousand staff, and their concerns are around confidential or private data being shared. The labels and the policies involved with them give them that initial visibility."
"The documentation is very exhaustive. Anyone can go ahead and try different use cases."
"One of the best features is the classification rules, especially the scan rule sets. They are really useful, especially when we need to understand the current data the company has to ensure that all the problematic data can be put under someone's responsibility."
"The product has provided automated security controls for our cloud provider. It helps to automate security checks. Vanta offers a list of things that can be done to achieve ISO 27001 compliance."
"It helps us track the compliance of the components listed in our partner's directory. We can also check if the password manager, XML, and three log policies have been properly implemented on the desktop."
"The most valuable feature of Vanta is its prebuilt control frameworks."
"The most valuable feature of Vanta would be the time savings from the automation and the continuous compliance monitoring once set up."
"There are some non-Microsoft file formats that are not supported."
"he one thing it doesn't do is data quality."
"The API needs some improvement when connecting to non-Microsoft API sources. This is a limiting factor."
"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."
"While Purview's data connector platform can ingest information from non-Microsoft data sources, it is slow to do so and the information may become outdated."
"Frequent daily updates from Microsoft can cause interface elements like buttons to appear and disappear, making navigation unpredictable."
"I'd like to see them improve the training for implementing this type of solution."
"Some of the tool's automated tests do not work the way it should."
"There is a delay with customer support and they are unsure of the answers we need."
"The main area for improvement in Vanta is the user interface's refresh rate."
"Currently, Vanta's user access review module is still in development, and we've been giving them continuous feedback to help them improve that."
