Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention Valuable Features
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. If you want to retain the user's data until the case is resolved, you can use the legal hold feature.
Also, it's important that Purview can connect to iOS, Mac, and Android devices. With smartphone involvement, so many applications can now be accessed through them and it is important to apply Purview across operating systems and platforms.
Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure Dynamics and Office 365 is also significant because within Microsoft 365 there are multiple applications. Irrespective of whether it's Dynamics or Azure, it's very important that it has native support. The data connectivity should be efficient enough to support and secure their own platform's data.
In addition, with varying regulations in different industries and matters, Purview lets you create rules and conditions based on industry standards around the world. That is important. Our company is in pharmaceuticals and the rules and conditions are different from other industries. It is important to be able to keep track of all these regulations and have a tool that is flexible enough to create the regulatory rules and conditions we need.
And when it comes to data loss protection, Purview has features that can recognize patterns and detect any sort of data loss, where the data is being transferred from its platform to a different one. The default settings that come with it are pretty nice for identifying data transfer or data loss across the platform.
It also comes with a lot of training materials, with use cases and examples, to help educate users and make them familiar with the tool.
The most crucial aspect is controlling how Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention functions within the SharePoint environment and cloud storage. Additionally, we exchange ideas because, as a centralized organization, we also make use of a variety of tools, including Symantec DLP. Consequently, we have different levels of systems that monitor the external and internal parameters of the company. These lines of defense are integral to our cybersecurity solutions, and at the heart of this framework lies Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention.

The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts. This was further enhanced by email notifications sent to our secondary mailbox, providing comprehensive oversight of website activities. These features have proven to be beneficial in our role within the financial sector, where safeguarding customer data and ensuring overall data security are top priorities. Ensuring secure connectivity to iOS is vital, with enabled features on endpoints being essential for data security. The importance of data protection expands to the cloud and various platforms, especially in the context of deploying applications across multiple environments.

It's really important and very nice that Purview delivers data protection across multi-clouds and multi-platform environments. It's also definitely important for compatibility across the infrastructure that Purview can connect to iOS, Mac, and Android.
Out of 10, I would give Purview an eight for the data connector platform for supporting ingestion. And 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.
Purview's data loss protection for remediating policy violations gives quite in-depth information. Reviewing and assessing the information is definitely critical, so it's really helpful.
We also use Purview data loss prevention for macOS endpoints, and the fact that they have extended it to macOS is very important because most of our C-level and board members are using macOS. It's vital because they are sharing and accessing critical information.
Overall, it gives us quite good visibility of the estate and the data, so it's a very helpful product.

It is
- very easy to use
- very easy to learn
- very well documented
and the community is great as well.
The UX is very good. It's easy to get around inside that tool, and it's easy to get help.
I don't think it's very different from other solutions regarding the features, but 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.
It's very important that it collects data from non-Microsoft products if we need information about what's going on with other OSs. If we're talking about personal computers, especially employees' computers, they are mostly going to be Windows. But if we're talking about servers, they are mostly Linux.
Purview is also built to take into account regulations from the US, Brazil, Europe, Asia-Pacific, et cetera. This is very important as well because you have to take into account the intricacies of each legal system.
Another good feature is the education it provides to users on how best to handle sensitive data.

The auto-labeling feature is definitely the most valuable feature. It goes in and labels the documents for you in different repositories. It covers the Outlook and Exchange repositories along with SharePoint and OneDrive. It is really helpful in those areas.

View full review »I like the whole value proposition of Microsoft Purview, particularly the DLP and integration with external solutions.
Purview's natively integrated compliance across Azure, Dynamics 365, and Office 365 is important to us because it's all about compliance.
Organizations have various compliance policies including the regulatory policies that are defined within the organization and those for a particular region. Therefore, it is important to our organization that Purview is built taking into account critical regulations from around the world.
This solution enables our clients to show compliance in real time and has helped them in their meetings with compliance regulators.
Purview Data Loss Prevention provides presentations to educate users on how best to handle sensitive data. When the user doesn't know whether a document should be classified under a certain label, Purview will provide suggestions or will auto-classify the particular document. It has automatic labeling capabilities.
It's important that Purview provides data protection for iOS, Android, and data in other SaaS apps because our customers have heterogeneous environments. Purview perfectly fits into the heterogeneous space.
Purview has reduced the number of solutions needed to interact with each other and has coexisted with them. Some customers have completely replaced their solutions with Purview, and others have Purview for classification labeling and a third-party solution for the DLP verdict.
It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's responses are faster. Its installation is also reliable. The security score helps with the security part.
View full review »The main part I like about it is, that quite a few of the DLP features are built into the latest server operating systems. The reliability of these is good and there's a good amount of documentation in case you run into any problems. They work well.
The setup is straightforward.
