BigHand Outlook Send Assistant vs. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention

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.

• It's a great product from an information protection perspective, as it can identify different types of data across tons of different locations.
• It's great at applying standard regulatory frameworks, like HIPAA, to management actions so you can work towards being as compliant as possible.
• The eDiscovery tools are very helpful when it comes to managing legal holds and discovery requests, as it's simple to freeze accounts or hold at points in time for discovery.

• Advanced or specific policies have a high learning curve.
• We have to rely on our reseller partner to implement some of the policies that we were looking for.
• Microsoft is constantly trying to upsell the PureView suite and hides some features included in E5 Enterprise to try and upsell.

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.

• I think it's integral to everything, it has to be positive and the positivity has to be the ability to use Purview in a situation for an organization. For us as a provider, we're not sure if we need your services or we think we're doing this thing correctly. We also evaluate compliance team. So first thing that we may do is if we don't have a footprint in the organization and we don't know what their data parameter or their data flow capabilities are, if we don't think that they're controlling it confidently, we validate and verify. We may do a content search and that content search immediately will be the most revealing thing. They'll be like, "alright, so right here on this diagram, this and this area are the areas that you have protected that are capable of protecting CUI. How come your CUIs in all of these 18 other different areas in which you see as like scope creep happens because the enforcement mechanisms haven't been tested, validated or whatever, or haven't been effective." It allows us to do quick cleanup, quick discovery, and things like that for new onboarding clients.
