Microsoft Purview Records Management

Microsoft Purview Records Management is a cloud records-management service accessed through the web. It provides retention rules, disposition workflows, audit trails, and rule-based classification for organizing records through their lifecycle. The listed Microsoft Purview Suite plan costs $12 a month per user when billed yearly, with an annual subscription that auto-renews. That suite includes advanced data lifecycle and records management, advanced data loss prevention, advanced information protection, advanced audit, and eDiscovery (Premium). The service uses a paid pricing model and has no free plan. Its browser-based delivery makes the web the listed platform. Organizations can use the retention, disposition, and audit functions together while also receiving the additional protection, audit, and eDiscovery capabilities named in the suite. Because the stated price is per user, the number of subscribed users affects the total subscription cost.

Microsoft Purview Records Management brings core records controls together with broader protection, audit, and eDiscovery features in its listed suite. The annual per-user subscription and web-only access should be considered before adoption.

It suits organizations managing records with retention, disposition, audit, and rule-based classification requirements. It is intended for teams comfortable with a paid, web-based cloud service.
