## What the models said for it

- "I'd recommend starting with Microsoft Purview if you're already invested in Microsoft 365, as it offers the best value integration" (MiniMax M2.5, DLP)
- "If you're Microsoft-centric: Microsoft Purview DLP (via E5 or E5 Compliance add-on) is usually the cheapest, most integrated option" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, DLP)
- "Recommended for mid-market M365-native organizations due to its native integration, low operational burden, and strong coverage" (Llama 4 Maverick, DLP)
- "If you're Microsoft 365-centric: Start with Microsoft Purview DLP — it integrates natively and reduces tool sprawl." (Kimi K2, DLP)

## And against it

- "Avoid if you have mixed environments or significant non-Microsoft workloads." (Kimi K2, DLP)
- "Choose Microsoft Purview only if your company is strictly on Windows/M365... Extremely complex to set up, configure, and tune" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, DLP)
- "lower-tier Microsoft Purview bundles without E5 licensing) ... basic tiers of built-in DLP are often highly simplistic" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, DLP)
- "exposed enforcement failures in Microsoft 365 ecosystems ... risky for strict compliance without monitoring" (Grok 4.1 Fast, DLP)
