r/Office365 on Reddit: Office 365 E3 vs Microsoft 365 Business Standard + Exchange Online Plan 2
June 26, 2024 -

Good Morning Everyone!

I'm dealing with licenses of my company, I'm very new to my job and even more to this Office 365 thing, so I'm having a hard time to understand some of the benefits of each type.

2 questions:

1 - Is there a post that have a comparison between the diferent types of licenses? Its very confusing on the microsoft websites and those spreadsheets online.

2 - Is Office 365 E3 vs Microsoft 365 Business Standard + Exchange Online Plan 2 a viabal thing to do? because, from I've understand, The E3 just have more a little more security and the benefits on the storage capacity (which would come from a Plan 2). I'm asking because the E3 one is much more expansive (about 200BRL) vs just paying the other two (about 130 BRL) [just to clarify, we are a company with about 200 employes, so the 300 max account from the Bussines licenses insent a problem in the short term]

Sorry for the broken english (Brazilian here), anything that wasn't made clear you guys can ask me in the comments.

thanks for the help!

[Help] Choosing subscription plan between Microsoft Business standard & Office 365 E3 - E3 developer
I just started a trial for Microsoft 365 Business Standard to access SharePoint. However, I realized that Power Query in Excel cannot connect to SharePoint and refresh data. So, I tried looking for another plan that better suits my needs. However, I am unsure whether the highlighted line, 'Excel Power Query and Power Pivot,' in the picture below indicates that I can connect Excel data to SharePoint.
