Setup and security
Tool
Microsoft 365 Copilot86 TriVista score
Perplexity Enterprise Pro83 TriVista score
Setup requirements
Qualifying Microsoft 365 plan, Entra identity, permission hygiene, SharePoint/OneDrive governance, DLP and Purview controls, user training, and adoption metrics.
Team admin, company sign-in and access controls, source verification policy, enterprise data boundaries, file retention, and separate API budget if automation is needed.
Data and security
Copilot honors existing Microsoft 365 permissions, but a rollout should include oversharing remediation, Purview/DLP controls, security dashboard access, and identity governance.
Request Enterprise trust materials, other companies that process data, how long data stays and how to delete it, data use, audit controls, workspace sharing, API separation, and where data is handled terms.
Recommended next step
Complete the required permissions, governance, and data-quality review before a narrow pilot
Use a fixed benchmark with baseline measures and thresholds for quality, cost, and time saved
