What differentiates Microsoft Purview from other similar products?

In the area of data governance, Microsoft Purview is well-known for its complete integration with other Microsoft services, including Azure and Microsoft 365. This makes it easier for organizations to control their data assets and keep up consistent safety standards across all platforms.
