DataMotion vs. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention

The Datamotion Secure Mail plug-in can be installed and used in Outlook while sending mail. In the search category, if you keep SecureMail 500 Admin and hit go, you can see how many admins there are. You can also see how many users there are and the license consumption.

I would highly recommend Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention for companies that are utilizing Microsoft technologies based on the strong integrations. If a company is using other technologies (e.g Google Workspace), then Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention would not be a good fit and would be difficult to implement/manage.

• Platform is intuitive and very easy to use from both a receiver and sender of the email.
• The "open" and/or "read" notifications serve as great documentation that a client has successfully seen and obtained the information that was being provided.
• The ability to include a simple link within an email signature prevents clients from having to go through a cumbersome portal or process to send a document securely.

• Automatic labeling, once we've trained the naming conventions and things like that and we get the labels placed on things. One of the biggest problems that our clients face is the fact that they don't particularly know every single time exactly the data that they're trying to protect, how to identify it when it comes into the system or when they create it, right? So we're using Purview and we're using the abilities that Purview has to auto-label things based off of either taxonomy that you have produced or created or that have been automatically populated through AI. That makes it a lot easier and kind of thwarts possible user error that causes problems for organizations.

• The address book interface to add users could be made simpler
• The copy and paste feature could be improved
• When composing an email the system should automatically search address book to provide less typing of Contact names already existing as a send to the person

• Overall, Microsoft DLP is not my number one choice because there's not much flexibility. There's a lot of restrictions and the way they set up rules a lot really restrictive. Thus it takes a lot more time for my team to build the rules and establish the controls as needed. So it's very clunky in that way and they have not improved it over the years, but I know they're trying to get a better, however it takes time because Microsoft, as we all knows, not a really security centric company.

We have more testing to do before we decide if we will make a final decision to use the product as we believe we would also implement datamotion for the acquisitions we have planned for this year

The DataMotion SecureMail's best feature according to me is simply that it performs as promised with an immediate reduction in spam which has led to spam-related queries to the IT department practically non-existent. DataMotion SecureMail is pretty robust and hands off which is great.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is super difficult.

Why are you asking me

Responses always seem timely and the support seems to be pretty good. We haven't really had any major issues with the software yet, so I that's the reason I gave only an 8. If something more difficult were to pop up, I'd have a little more to say on the support for the product.

Make sure to break up the implementation in phases

We can not afford Cisco products; in the end, everything we require is on the software side, not the hardware side. Also, we are trying to move away from these bulky appliance-type concepts of secure documentation and communication integrations. This federated easy, fast and multi-disciplinary API systems DataMotion has provided us is precisely what we need.

There are much more comprehensive and granular DLP solutions out there like Trellix and Sophos but ultimately they are expensive and require significant administrative oversight for implementation and deployment. For a company of our size, they are just not economically feasible. We purchased out 365 E5 tenant with Purview DLP integration from a reseller at a price that we couldn't compete with vs a standalone enterprise product.

Ridiculous question. It’s scalable and that is why we would want to use it

• DataMotion has had a positive return on investment due to the fact that we have to post less, avoid postal fees, and ensure security.
• DataMotion has decreased the amount of compliance required when sending out information; when posting documents, we would have previously had to have documents checked by compliance for security, but now we can issue these clients directly.
• Everyone in the company uses DataMotion; this has saved both time and money because of the decreased number of letters being drafted; it has created a more efficient workforce and boosted productivity.

• It has helped us to prevent data breaches and protect them from data loss.
• It has strong visibility on the activities related to data copy to and from removable devices.
• It can easily enforce the policies on group of users and also exclude some in the exclusions
