Protects sensitive data across devices and helps address client compliance needs proactively
The reporting in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is a little easier than most Microsoft portals. I understand the licensing cost, especially if you're a Business Premium or in the SMB world, and a lot of clients run with a Business Premium. That comes with data loss prevention in a manual process, whereas E5 gives automation. Microsoft has said, 'Okay, here's your Microsoft 365 E5 compliance add-on that can go on the Business Premium.' So Business Premium users can get the data loss prevention features of E5, which is fantastic. That was the big point that they were missing, and I'm glad that they actually have an add-on now that makes it possible. So truly, I don't think there's a downside. Maybe more reporting, but that's it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's IDM (Indexed Document Matching), EDM (Exact Data Matching), and DCM (Described Content Matching) features have been most effective in identifying and mitigating potential data leaks."
"Insider risk management and data retention are beneficial."
"The policy customization feature is very useful, and we have successfully used the auto policy configuration."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention has absolutely helped improve my organization's ability to manage data because we use M365 for the majority of our knowledge worker storage, and that's where people's data lives."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the mature O365 DLP, which works with SharePoint and Teams."
"The product has improved compliance and confidence. We are aware of the data that is leaving our organization. It provides confidence in data management and information storage."
"It has helped our clients to reduce the time to action on insider threats because it can be integrated."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention protects the organization from user data getting out that should not be out and works very well when assessing the ability to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"Safetica ONE is easy to use and set up. We can set up rules and policies quickly."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
 

Cons

"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."
"There is a lot of ambiguity when you are setting up labels, such as sensitive information labels. It is a little daunting at first if you don't have prior knowledge, and there is a little bit of a learning curve for setting up the labels. Some of the setup wizards could be more helpful from an AI perspective. They can streamline the setup through more AI technologies so that you don't have to jump through so many hoops and different menus and dropdowns. It would be useful to have a setup wizard that is more hands-off and engaging for setting up the information type labels. If you tell them this is what we're trying to protect, it should basically start to lead you down that path of best practices. Such a feature would be great."
"Endpoint Data Loss Prevention needs to be improved as it is not up to expectations."
"A site can have different containers where you store data. We have always wanted to apply compliance, labels, and policies at the container level, rather than to an outer shell or at the site level. That is something we have been looking forward to and I believe Microsoft is already planning something like that."
"Improving Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention would involve recognizing that the whole AI path we are all on is going to help, given the massive amount of data we handle; even if there are true positives, implementing a degree of severity ranking is essential."
"The major challenge we had was overreach. When our initial design inception blocked more data than we expected, we had a lot of help desk related issues that we did not see in testing."
"Perhaps with the advent of AI, it can be enhanced, especially with organizations that handle and process huge amounts of data."
"The main disadvantages of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention in comparison to the Netscope product are notable considerations."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"Safetica One has every other thing that you need, so I cannot give Safetica NXT a higher mark because it does not have the full features of the enterprise solutions."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"The product needs to improve support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the E3 license for Microsoft 365 with the E5 compliance license add-on."
"The product has the best price-to-performance ratio."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"You get the solution in a bundle if you get the E5 suite."
"Though I am not a specialist, the tool is quite expensive."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
"The cost works out to about $15 per user per month."
"If one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as one out of ten."
"The pricing for ESET Safetica is less as compared to other solutions. The customers have to pay only for the license."
"Customers need to pay for a yearly license per device."
"Safetica ONE is expensive."
"The licensing cost for this solution depends on the deal size and your use case. In our instance, it costs $35 per user per year. This is a reasonable price."
