Microsoft Purview Data Governance Reviews

We're building a new system from scratch for our clients and wanted to include the data governance. Their solution is hosted in Azure and it seemed logical to go with something that fits with that. I'm a solution specialist and we are partners with Microsoft. 

Purview has a pretty good interface and I'm satisfied with what the solution does and the price it's being sold at. It integrates well with Azure technologies. 

There are some limitations to the solution with regard to the lineage of data from different systems. I can see that everything works well, but if we start bringing in data from other systems not hosted in Azure the solution won't know whether it fits in the lineage space. Unfortunately, the solution only integrates with Microsoft Azure technologies so there is potentially some improvement that could be made in that area. In this case, we're lucky that the client has everything in Azure. 

I've only been using this solution for a couple of months. 

We currently have four Purview users. 

The initial setup was very easy, that's part of the appeal. 

Purview is reasonably priced and considerably less than most of its competitors.

I'm aware that the solution has some limitations, but that doesn't affect us in this case. If we do eventually need some features that are lacking, then we can look at other alternatives.

I rate the solution nine out of 10. 

We are using Microsoft Purview Information Protection. We want to do loss protection for our unstructured documents.

The integration ecosystem with Microsoft Purview is the most valuable aspect.

There is definitely room for improvement as this product is quite new. In terms of the competence of the tools with the Microsoft ecosystem, the product can do better.

We have been using the solution for almost a year.

The solution is not that stable all the time. Sometimes the issues are with the WiFi services, and it’s not on all the time. It needs more time to start up the services.

We do not really need scalability right now, so it still manages.

There is room for improvement in customer service. 

Neutral

The initial setup is quite easy.

It is cheap or free since we have an EFI license. It is free for the EFI user.

Be mindful of non-Microsoft ecosystem documents. While it is perfect for Microsoft documents, there is still room to improve for non-Microsoft documents.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
