Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention vs. Smarsh

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.

This appliance is well suited for organizations that have a need to monitor, moderate, or log social networking site use or the use of any website. It is a very solid tool for any information security department to have at their disposal.

• 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.

• Discovery: It allows for easy discoveries by the compliance and cyber security departments.
• Ethical walls: This keeps certain departments from talking to each other.
• Very granular control. This is a big product meaning you can get very detailed with it.
• Once it's configured and running, we hardly ever have any issues.

• 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.

• Its configuration options were very large and required a good deal of time to learn all of the various settings.

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.

This was the only appliance of its kind that I have used. Other devices have different capabilities for web filtering such as the checkpoint firewalls, but none of them offered the overall solution that was deployed with this product at that time.

• 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.
