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.

Comprehensive data protection with photo prediction and compliance features
One area for improvement is the full feature support for Mac, which is currently in the roadmap but not yet available. The deployment process could be simplified as it is slightly complex due to the security solution requirement. The technical support needs enhancement, specifically customer service from Zecurion, which I would rate at eighty percent satisfaction.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can use Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention to manage devices and site policies."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the mature O365 DLP, which works with SharePoint and Teams."
"Microsoft Purview's classification and policy controls impact users' productivity within my organization very positively, as it does not get in the way of their working."
"Insider risk management and data retention are beneficial."
"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."
"The most valuable features are identifying sensitive data and issuing alerts."
"My favorite feature about Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is actually quite simple: there's a handful of things that you do, you create a new batch, it'll give you a unique ID, you copy that unique ID, it's a URL, and then you can put that into a script that we wrote so we just paste that in our script and then it uses that URL to upload all of those mailboxes, and then we can use that to import."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention's ability to prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive information is valuable."
"I like the camera detection feature, which other DLP tools don't have. The content discovery is similar to other platforms like Symantec, using techniques like regular expressions. It's enough for my use case."
"The unique features of Zecurion DLP include photo prediction, which disables the ability to take pictures from a handset by activating the laptop camera for identification."
 

Cons

"They do not provide language options beyond the ones already available, so our language option is missing."
"Perhaps with the advent of AI, it can be enhanced, especially with organizations that handle and process huge amounts of data."
"We faced a performance issue with the tool when we didn't get alerts for file uploads."
"The scalability, in terms of the portal, could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have faced difficulties in identifying the options."
"The main disadvantages of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention in comparison to the Netscope product are notable considerations."
"The solution should provide better integration with other systems."
"There is a need for improvements, particularly in ensuring that file-based recognition is more reliable and comprehensive."
"All the security operations are better defined in Forcepoint, while in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, you will have to use a specific workflow and then an application to release blocked emails."
"One area for improvement is the lack of pre-built rules for compliance in Indonesia, so I have to define rules myself."
"The deployment process could be simplified as it is slightly complex due to the security solution requirement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the tool's pricing."
"It is a part of our Microsoft licensing. We pay for a yearly renewal. Its price is reasonable for the size of the organization we are. It is fairly competitive, and you get what you pay for. We have an E5 license, and a part of understanding the E5 license is to see what all you get with it. If you really look at it from that standpoint, you get a lot of value. You have Defender and all its security features in there as well. Their licensing is fairly flexible. They have different programs. We've seen ones where you could pay for up to three to five years in advance. There is also a monthly pay-as-you-go type of deal, but we're doing a yearly renewal and fixing the budget."
"Though I am not a specialist, the tool is quite expensive."
"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."
"Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is part of a bundle and is not sold as a standalone product."
"It's a little bit pricey compared to competitors, but it's not too high."
"Zecurion DLP is cheaper than competitors like Symantec."
