Microsoft Purview Likes & Dislikes
Purview's automated data classification is a major plus point. Built-in classifiers and machine learning models help identify and tag confidential information with high accuracy. The dashboards provide clear visibility into risk trends and user activity. This helps in quickly detecting issues and taking corrective actions before they escalate. Purview works seamlessly with Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Defender and Windows endpoints. This ensures that retention policies, sensitivity labels and data loss prevention are consistently applied across the entire ecosystem.
The integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure is excellent, it simplifies our security posture and ensures consistent data protection everywhere.
AI data classification, seamless integration with Azure and 365, and real time compliance tracking
Purview offers many modules like DLP, eDiscovery, Data Lifecycle etc, but each requires detailed configuration. For new users it might feel like a steep learning curve. Sometimes content searches and scans are slow in large environments which can impact troubleshooting and response times. Also, the dashboards available can't be fully customized. Some users need deeper level reporting or more flexible filtering but the built in dashboards can feel restrictive or too high-level
The initial configuration and setup of the data scanners can be quite complex and time consuming and often requires significant trial and error to get the mapping and classification right.

Microsoft Purview Improves Data Governance But Customization and Speed Remain Challenges
My overall experience with Microsoft Purview has been positive, especially in terms of data governance, information protection and compliance management. Purview provides a unified platform to classify, monitor and protect data which has helped streamline workflows and improve visibility for data usage and the risks associated with it. Integration with Microsoft365 products and services makes it easier to enforce compliance and policies across all platforms. Data Loss Prevention policies are flexible and effective across cloud apps, Office apps and helps in preventing accidental or intentional data leakage. However, some scans, content searches and eDiscovery tasks may take longer than expected, especially in a large environment. - It Manager50M-1B USDTransportationReview Source
