Pricing Analysis
Overview
Microsoft Purview covers data governance, compliance, and now AI content monitoring. If you have M365 E3, you get a subset of features; E5 Compliance adds the full suite. Standalone starts around $7/user/month. The bundling strategy makes individual cost tracking hard.
Cost Per User
Which Plan Is Right for You?
Basic data classification and eDiscovery. Fine for general compliance needs if M365 is already your stack.
Full DLP, insider risk, communication compliance, and AI content controls. The realistic target for most regulated enterprises.
Available per-user/month if you need specific Purview modules without full M365. Evaluate only if budget constraints prevent E5 upgrade.
Our Verdict
Unbeatable value if you're already paying for M365 E5. As a standalone product for non-Microsoft shops, it's less compelling against dedicated tools like Collibra or BigID.
