Microsoft Purview: A Leader in Data Security, Price, and ROI

In the dynamic landscape of data governance and security, Microsoft Purview emerges as a leading solution. In comparison to other tools like Collibra, Informatica Data Quality, Apache Atlas, Alation, Egnyte, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, and BetterCloud, Microsoft Purview's security, pricing, and return on investment (ROI) stand out. Let's dive into why Purview is the preferred choice.

Security Alignment with NIST and CISA

Microsoft Purview's security infrastructure is aligned with the NIST Framework *1 and integrates with CISA's guidelines *2. Such robust alignment offers a comprehensive cybersecurity stance across various sectors, including healthcare, banking, manufacturing, and government.

Comparatively, while solutions like Collibra and Apache Atlas offer data governance features, they may lack this broad alignment, making Purview an attractive proposition for those seeking top-tier security.

Cost Efficiency and Scalability

Purview is designed to provide flexibility and scalability, adapting to the unique needs of businesses of all sizes *3. This adaptability often translates into cost savings by reducing manual efforts required to manage and govern data. Unlike other tools like Informatica Data Quality or Egnyte, Microsoft Purview's cloud-based solution and seamless integration with other Microsoft products can offer a more cost-efficient pathway to data governance.

Superior ROI through Comprehensive Data Management

Microsoft Purview offers insightful analytics, data discovery, mapping, compliance support, and customization *3. These features not only help in making informed business decisions but also save time and resources. In contrast, tools like Alation and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud may focus on specific aspects, missing out on the full spectrum of data management. Purview's comprehensive approach ensures that the return on investment is realized quicker and more substantially.

Healthcare, Biotech, and Banking and more: Sector-Specific Excellence

Especially for industries like healthcare, biotech, and banking, the alignment with regulatory requirements such as GDPR, NIST Framework, and integration with CISA's guidelines make Microsoft Purview a natural choice *4. Solutions like Druva Data Resiliency Cloud or BetterCloud might not offer this tailored approach for sector-specific requirements.

A Future-Ready Choice

In the ever-evolving world of data governance, Microsoft Purview stands as a future-ready solution that transcends the traditional boundaries. With top-notch security, competitive pricing, and remarkable ROI, it shines as a leader in comparison to other tools in the market *5.

Embrace a future where data is not just a resource, but an asset guarded with intelligence, resilience, and understanding. Choose Microsoft Purview. Your organization deserves nothing less.
