Both Access Reviews in Identity Governance and Privileged Identity Management seem similar.

    Kind of the same thing, but not exactly. It's the same engine, but covers different objects. Access reviews under Identity Governance cover Groups/Teams and application access, whereas Access reviews for admin roles is what PIM does. Refer to this article for comparison: https://practical365.com/access-reviews-azure-ad-office-365-admin/
