What are the differences between Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses?
Microsoft 365 is a comprehensive suite that includes Office 365 along with Enterprise Mobility and Security (EMS) and Windows Enterprise. Office 365, on the other hand, is primarily a productivity suite with core applications like Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. We have a blog post with more details here.
What is the difference between Microsoft 365 Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Business plans?
Microsoft 365 Enterprise includes advanced and customizable management features for organizations with specific needs. Microsoft 365 Business plans are designed for small businesses, have simplified (i.e., not customizable) management settings, and a user cap of 300 licenses per tenant.
Is Microsoft Teams included in Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses?
As of April 1, 2024, Microsoft Teams is no longer included for net new purchases and must be purchased separately as a standalone product. Customers who already have the bundled version are not impacted by this announcement.
We are currently using O365 E3 and thinking about the option of changing license, it's not really clear on MS website comparison between these two. I wonder what is really difference here?
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!
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!
