**What do you like best about Data Discovery?**

Data discovery has been useful for the position of data privacy compliance.  The fact that data is scanned and automatically categorized when it comes to personal data saves me a lot of time and energy.

**What do you dislike about Data Discovery?**

Data Discovery examined does not have a powerful means of tracking down data lineage.  I find it challenging to identify the flows of distinct pieces of information and estimate the consequences of a possible data leak.

Data Discovery also serves to perform a part of the personal data discovery eliminating data mapping and classification steps.  This translates to, more efficiency and effectiveness in identifying the sensitive information that needs to be protected.
