Have consistently built secure internal environments while implementing compliance tools for diverse customer needs
The customizable alerts system needs improvement. The detection rules are not extensive enough. There should be more possibilities for creating alerts based on additional criteria. While rules can be customized, the available criteria for creating detection rules should be expanded. Microsoft's pricing is very expensive. The Business Premium offering should be extended to enterprise customers, as it's currently limited to 300 users. There should be a tier below E5 that includes Microsoft Purview and other features. Currently, E5 licensing costs approximately 6,000 INR per user per month including taxes. Competitive solutions offer similar functionality at about 50% of Microsoft's cost. Email DLP is included in Business Premium or P1 licenses, while P2 licenses cover endpoint DLP and additional channels. Microsoft should introduce an intermediate tier below E5 that covers all P1 licenses, as customers often need coverage across the entire M365 suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best thing about Purview is that it's easy to integrate with our day-to-day environment. We have Active Directory, and Word and Excel. Using a third-party vendor and trying to integrate with our existing environment would be much more challenging."
"Instead of having multiple vendors' solutions, I can install Purview, or I can enhance the features in Purview to make my life easier, and it can be managed through a single portal."
"The scoring mechanism is exceptional because it eliminates the need to reinvent criteria for identifying risks, misconfigurations, or vulnerabilities."
"Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management was helpful in performing investigations after alerts were received."
"An example of how these features from Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management have benefited my organization is that we recently discovered a foreign actor, someone from North Korea took a job at our company and was pretending to be an employee, and with Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management, they notified us of that problem and we were able to remediate the fact that we had a North Korean spy working for us."
"Insider Risk Management's graphing is highly specific and useful. You can see the last six months of data for the Microsoft tenant. You can easily find what you need. For example, you can filter for alerts about devices, emails, etc."
"Safetica NXT provides you with an enterprise-quality data loss prevention system that anybody can pick up because the cost is low and it's easy to manage."
"The current version of the solution is stable...It is easy to scale the solution."
"When you subscribe to the DLP, the system manages and protects your files well from the cloud."
"The most valuable things about Safetica ONE are its comprehensive features, competitive pricing, and a strong focus on data security and compliance."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Safetica ONE is simple."
"ESET Safetica is a cost-effective solution for customers who need a small quantity along with a competitive price."
"The most valuable feature is the data classification."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
 

Cons

"My experience with the deployment of Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management was a fifty-fifty situation because we have a very diverse network, and not all of it is on Microsoft products."
"The user interface also isn't user-friendly. When we introduce Insider Risk Management to our clients, they often find it difficult to understand. There is too much information, and the UI is not scalable. Also, entry-level IT technicians are not always interested in learning something new. It should be clearer and easier to understand."
"The reporting capabilities sometimes leave a little to be desired. It could be improved in terms of producing reports to provide information to the C-suite or others."
"For certain things, you need to install an agent; installing an agent on the client workstation is a headache and whenever a new client comes in, you need to install an agent on it, which is an added task for IT."
"For certain things, you need to install an agent. I understand it's for integrity, but if there could be a clientless solution for certain aspects, it would make life easier."
"Microsoft's pricing is very expensive. The Business Premium offering should be extended to enterprise customers, as it's currently limited to 300 users."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data leak protection."
"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."
"The product needs to improve support."
"Safetica ONE fails to support Linux."
"ESET Safetica’s stability could be improved."
"There are some minor issues with the price and support of the solution that needs to be improved."
"This solution could be improved if it was available on Linux as well. Currently it can only be deployed on Mac and Windows."
"One area for improvement in Safetica is its firewall integration feature."
