Purview not getting enough attention from Microsoft - Will be Decom

At this stage is clear for everybody that Microsoft is not putting the same effort in Purview as they are putting in other products like Fabric, D365 , etc..

 

Seems to me that in one or two years purview will probably be decommisioned 

 

Rational :

- The support is very week (teams taking care of the support tickets are very week from a knowhow perspective and take ages to resolve something )

-  Functionalities take a lot of time to be released

- Its not properly integrated with Fabric, for example there is almost no lineage and the classification is not set via data map

- DLP for Fabric only works with some SITs, does not work for example with Trainable Classifiers, etc..

- The Roadmap takes care of something, but minimal

- The Way to Log Error records for data quality rules is very week and not user friendly

 

I wonder what is the idea of Microsoft for the next 3 or 4 years when it comes to Purview 

Will it continue to have Governance ? will it only be taking care of security or compliance?

    My biggest issue with Purview were the so called "improvements" to eDiscovery searches. It used to be a lot easier to develop a query and then manually edit, as needed, than it is now.

    Also, when only placed a Hold in the old version you'd get information on size of the info being held so one could have a reasonable idea that the Hold did in fact take place properly. Now you just get the hold was placed with no numbers.

    Fortunately I'm retiring next month and won't have to deal with these issues anymore.
