Data lineage and quality checks have streamlined team-wide collaboration and business context
The biggest friction point or frustration I have encountered with Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance is cost-wise it is acceptable, but sometimes unexpected errors will occur, though this happens very rarely. There are features I wish Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance had that it does not provide today. Enterprise-level lineage is one such feature. As of now, if Microsoft were to provide this tool for free when you buy Microsoft Fabric, I feel that would be better. This would also result in lower license costs. I do not have any changes I would make to Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance at this time.

Streamlined incident management with user-friendly automation tools and responsive support

Pros

"Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance helps with extra collaboration and ensures communication is within the framework."
"Customer support is excellent."
"The features I appreciate the most in Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance include the ability to build cases, give them dates, and find them based on the notes that I left behind."
"The time it saves is very useful."
"Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance has impacted my organization positively; it is a good tool that provides an end-to-end business view for a particular organization."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it already has visibility about all the data protection regulations or other cybersecurity regulations related to several countries"
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
"OneTrust GRC offers policy management, including documentation, distribution, attestation, and policy management."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"OneTrust GRC is stable."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"It does help in the automation of our privacy impact assessments."

Cons

"The biggest friction point or frustration I have encountered with Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance is cost-wise it is acceptable, but sometimes unexpected errors will occur, though this happens very rarely."
"Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance can be improved by having more tutorials available for those who aren't used to using this platform."
"Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance can be improved by having more tutorials available for those who aren't used to using this platform."
"The product should incorporate more automation with the help of AI."
"Monitoring and compliance for web applications could be improved."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"They could improve by offering free help. A solution, a lot of times, is not just the use of the solution. For example, it is the overall engagement, how well do they support the system, what is their SLA, and how long their response time is to an issue. It would be beneficial if they had some type of professional services where they offer the first five hours of professional services a year for free. That would be a substantial benefit rather than having to buy professional services or professional services packages."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"They could improve by offering free help."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
