How much does Purview cost

[DebbieE]

Always seemingly the hardest thing to answer from Documentation but the one thing people always want to know first. I have someone who wants to add a diata dicationary and business glossary. So obviously Purview is the way forward. But how much does it actually cost?

And are there different options etc.

is there a ball park general figure for a small to medium company? I dont know from all this if we are talking pounds a month or thousands of pounds a month?

Hi @DebbieE 

It is really hard to say how much it cost but I can provide you some key points.

Key Factors that affectsPurview Cost:

• Data Volume: The amount of data you need to scan and manage.
• Data Sources: The types of data sources you're connecting (e.g., databases, files, cloud storage).
• Usage: The frequency of scans, data access, and other Purview features utilized.
  
  1. Data Map (Always On): This covers basic metadata storage and operations. Cost is based on capacity units.
