Full Microsoft Purview profile →The platform most organizations are trying to leave and most alternatives are measured against. Its access-governance depth on file shares and M365 is genuinely hard to replicate — practitioner threads concede the capability even while resenting the price and the sales motion. Two patterns to plan around: professional-services dependency for upgrades and tuning, and a per-capability pricing model that grows with your estate. Budget for both or budget for Netwrix.
