Microsoft Purview Records Management

Microsoft Purview Records Management is a cloud records-management service accessed through the web. It provides rule-based classification, retention rules, disposition workflows, and audit trails for managing records. The listed Microsoft Purview Suite plan costs $12 a month per user when billed yearly, using an annual subscription that renews automatically. The 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. Retention rules define how records are kept, disposition workflows support controlled handling at the end of retention, and audit trails record activity. Rule-based classification supplies the stated method for organizing records. Because the listed deployment model is cloud and the platform is web, access is through the service’s browser interface. The per-user price means subscription cost varies with the number of users.
