Material Security vs. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is ideal for a 365 E5 enterprise organization where Azure directory is your 'source of truth' for user management and security policies. It is suited for using OneDrive as personal file management and SharePoint as collaborative files storage. Allows delineation of scanning various assets based on job function and department (as defined by Azure groups etc.). No additional cost if you are already invested in an E5 enterprise environment (for most functions, MS has additional DLP product enhancements)

• Adaptive Protection is one of the coolest capabilities in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention especially from the aspect of DLP. Over time, it starts analyzing risky documents and/or contents in the M365 (or O365) environment and starts securing them automatically based on the current available settings.
• The wide variety of options while creating policies helps in covering number of different scenarios and thus offers more secure and broader coverage of content.
• Activity explorer (specifically Analytics) provides a very helpful and informative bird's eye view of all the activities happening around while ensuring a provision of being notified in real time about any suspicious activity.

• The Data Loss Prevention tools don't seem to integrate well with other DLP tools Microsoft provides, like those built into Exchange Online. Data is missed when it should be blocked from being sent.
• The way Purview contributes to the overall Microsoft Security Score can be a bit difficult to tell, it's not clear what is being applied to improve the score and other management windows need to be accessed to address suggestions.

Not used any product other than Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. As I mentioned in my earlier point that we did all the researches for the best suitable product for our environment, but Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention proved to be best and is working as per our expectations. So we never had to think about any other product.
