Automated data discovery has streamlined management while configuration remains complex
Compared to Big-ID, Microsoft Purview Data Governance looks complicated to me. I do not feel it has a good user-level UI. The interface feels a little complicated compared to Big-ID. I did not appreciate the configuration part. It felt complex, whereas when I went for a Big-ID demo, the interface looked better and was easier to understand for any user.

Streamlined data products have empowered non‑technical teams and still require more automation
The best feature Satori offers is its simplicity for non-business and non-technical persons because all you have to do is provide inputs—the tables that you want to use as source—and then the framework does all the work. You just define the tables and what tables need to be joined. This simplicity helps my team in day-to-day work because non-technical people and product owners can actually develop data products with this streamlined pipeline without having to know how to code and without having to maintain a code base. We just maintain and enhance while they build what they want. Satori also has data quality checks that are defined by the data quality team, so we know if the data are corrupted. That is another main feature. Satori has positively impacted my organization because it's a product that has been sold to many clients and has also been used internally for some use cases that the company needed. It's one of the most successful products of the company.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Purview's greatest benefit for us is data discovery."
"The features of Microsoft Purview Data Governance that I value most include communication compliance. It provides visibility into how people are using Copilot for Microsoft and gives insight into risks and sensitive conversations."
"One important feature is data security, which both end users and the organization seek."
"Microsoft Purview stands out for its automatic data recovery system, which prioritizes critical data for the fastest restoration."
"I use the tool in projects as a medium to provide information as reports to the stakeholders."
"The custom classifications are one of the most valuable features."
"The ability to classify data quickly and effortlessly is arguably Microsoft Purview's most valuable feature."
"The time to onboard is pretty short."
"Satori has positively impacted my organization by providing a solution that helps in the development of AI intelligence while protecting AI with less effort than other solutions."
"Satori leads to more sales and has doubled our sales."
"Satori has improved our data security by providing better visibility into user permissions, simplifying access management, and helping reduce unnecessary access to sensitive information, while also supporting better data governance and saving time during permission reviews."
 

Cons

"We haven't really gotten too far into it to identify areas for improvement just yet."
"Setting up Purview in a production tenant proved challenging due to a lack of clear documentation on permission requirements."
"We've had a few issues with the scanner. It runs perfectly one day, and on another day, it will run the whole night. It's probably related to the rules. If I set some compliance rules and apply the rules to any column, I can't delete it. I have to disable it and reactivate it."
"Non-Microsoft use cases are not very high. It's limited for now."
"The features in the actual data governance could be improved, and I think there is room for improvement in the product."
"It could reduce pricing to encourage usage."
"I would like to have AI functionality on the dashboard to help me analyze and report on the data that we capture using Purview on a daily basis."
"The API needs some improvement when connecting to non-Microsoft API sources. This is a limiting factor."
"Satori can be improved by integrating CI/CD because currently we are doing it manually, which is something we need to fix."
"Everything could potentially be improved."
"I would like to see more advanced automated risk detections, customizable security alerts, and simpler permission reporting, as these improvements would make access management easier and help the team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is decent. It is neither too low nor too high. Given its capabilities, the pricing is justified."
"Microsoft Purview is a subscription-based service, so we need either an E3 or E5 license to use it."
"Microsoft Purview requires a Microsoft 365 license and is included with an E5 license."
"I would rate the cost of Microsoft Purview a six out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"The pricing is moderate. It's not too expensive, but it's not the most competitive."
"While Purview's standard pricing might not be accessible to most small businesses, we were fortunate to benefit from the educational pricing which made it a financially viable option for our needs."
"I consider it cost-efficient because of the metrics it provides."
"Purview's price is pretty high when you factor in storage costs."
