Office 365 E3 does not come with Azure AD Premium, Microsoft 365 plans do. And technically you're not getting the Azure AD Free tier, but a separate tier for O365 customers with few additional features enabled (I know it still displays Azure AD Free in the portal).
Anyway, if you need AAD Premium functionality, you need to either purchase standalone AAD P1/P2 licenses, or upgrade your plan to Microsoft 365 E3.
Thanks, I could have swore I saw somewhere about premium ad, but maybe it was just the added features.
Just wondering if anyone has any information on this. I've been using Office 365 E3 licensing in conjunction with Free Azure AD. All of a sudden my Entra licensing reflects that I have Entra P1. No licensing changes in logs or anything like that. I can't really find any information regarding any changes so if anyone knows what's up I'd appreciate it.
Greetings all! I've been chatting with a person who works at a company with approx 40 users. At first they purchased M365 Business Standard licenses - then they switched all the users to Office 365 E3 as they thought it was required for an Accounting application - it wasn't.
So I feel that they will do better with M365 Business Premium as a good fit with SMB's - yes that will reduce that mailbox size from 100GB to 50GB but they're all well below 50GB and have archiving turned on.
Did a lot of research...comparing the features...also had a look here - mind you dated July 2023: https://m365maps.com/matrix.htm#010001000000000000000
Now the costs are comparable....as purchased those O365 E3 licenses before those recent license changes.
So I'm trying to point out the advantages of switching to M365 Business Premium.
My understanding is that M365 BP provides advanced security features and better device/app management and provides for a less complex environment to support. Thinking of their needs also on that side as their current IT folks are new to M365 (no comment!) ;-) ....so I am not always available to assist.
M365 Business Premium will also provide their Compliance and Governance needs when they're ready to go there.
Am I missing something here? Any there any other pro's associated with that M365 Business Premium subscription vs O365 E3?
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers!
