Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is used to provide intelligent detection and control of sensitive information across Office 365, OneDrive, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and on the endpoint. It also helps prevent data loss through identifying and preventing risky or inappropriate sharing, transfer, or use of sensitive data on endpoints, apps, and services.

Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
I think Netskope does work well. The learning curve is a little bit high on Netskope, and I think they're not adding as many new features, and the integration with Office 365 is not as mature as Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention.
So this is kind of a weird space for us. I would liken our product purchases in this space more to OSIN and General Threat Intelligence. We haven't seen a tool that could handle the specific Microsoft data to a level where it would've even been worth looking at. I think …

Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
We are a complete Microsoft shop. Competitors, we have come across Symantec DLP, that's one. We've come across Nexscope DLP. I've personally migrated customers from Nextscope DLP to Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. There is McAfee DLP as well, which we have worked with. …
I don't think anything that Microsoft does, I've tried to conversate. We haven't even discussed another option. It does it well. So for us, it's pretty much going to stay where it is for now.
Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is included in the E5 license as part of other purchases, so we've done what we can to get the best functionality from it. We are actively investigating implementing Veronas or Cyera just simply because the on-prem capabilities are not …
The licensing is maybe the biggest reason. Purview Data Loss Prevention is included in the Microsoft 365 SKU we already have, so if the functionality is equivalent, it makes sense to save money. We also appreciate how Purview automatically integrates with other Microsoft 365 …
Varonis provided great visibility into file permissions and audit records. It did not provide DLP controls for things like email, and endpoints therefore making it incomplete to provide proactive controls against DLP threats.
Symantec or now? Brocom. Forcepoint, GPV. I'm trying to think of, there's a couple more. I can't think of the top of my head. I would say closer to the bottom then rather than the top. So because of the fact that yes, it integrates well. But in terms of the actual …
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 …
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 …
The DLP in Exchange Online and Purview by proxy is okay, but fails to catch a lot of HIPAA-specific information. We supplemented with Barracuda to make up for it. Purview is still better at identification across the entire tenant though, Barracuda is just doing our email DLP.
The DLP was already part of our tenant so we saved money by using it. With others, we would have to built/implement VMs to connect to the tenant, which we were not willing do. Since we had access to it, we decided to stick with it and we are happy with that result
As the customer already had Microsoft Office 365 E5 license, it made sense to implement Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention instead of other products.
It's well-suited if you're really deep in the tech stack. If you're an exchange organization that's using the O365 suite, that's in Entra, that's in Azure, it's really great visibility. I think it probably falls apart very quickly if you don't have data from all those planes to feed it.
I think from a coverage standpoint, it's pretty comprehensive. The areas it covers, of course, include the Microsoft stack, but also focus on using the definitive cloud apps integration to extend visibility and control to third-party cloud apps, endpoints, and even Macs. So those are capabilities.
Its comprehensiveness, its simplicity of creating the policies in one place, are definitely one of the plus points the solution has.
The main thing is that, within the product's story, some functionalities were deprecated, and traceability was one of them. That meant that before I could tell or pinpoint on a world map where a particular type of access attempt was happening, and now I cannot do that anymore. So that was useful because I could understand how far out a document made it, and then where the issue was. Was an employee trying to open it at home, or was it an external party altogether? I couldn't do that anymore.
The second bit that has room for improvement, is the fact that we have quite a lot of legacy documents that were labeled. So they are from previous versions of Office. And at the moment, since November last year, the already labeled documents are not being protected by the labels.
I think it is very easy for the end user once it's applied. On the configuration side, there's a learning curve to that, but there's always a learning curve for anything. So I think the product does what it needs to do. It is easy enough to use.
Symantec or now? Brocom. Forcepoint, GPV. I'm trying to think of, there's a couple more. I can't think of the top of my head. I would say closer to the bottom then rather than the top. So because of the fact that yes, it integrates well. But in terms of the actual functionality of DLP, there are other requirements that they just don't have the features for yet.
From an ROI perspective, being able to have a robust DLP capability within 365 and with eShare, again, providing the defensive depth and keeping data 365 gives both us as well as our customers an ROI by being able to not use third party repositories to share data externally and by keeping data inside of 365. It gives me much more visibility into my data landscape. One of the things we advise our customers to do when they're starting to explore the advanced capabilities of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, for example, is to use that DLP product to monitor and understand the flows of sensitive data within the organization. By being able to look at that DLP, identify those sensitive niche types, and see which transactions occur internally within the organization, I get a clearer picture of what I'm doing.
