We go through CDW for all of our acquisitions, and they are very easy to work with. With CSP or MCE-style agreements with Microsoft, the process is streamlined since we have reps from both Microsoft and CDW working together.

A few things are tricky with the E5 licensing. If your company is a heavy Teams user, eDiscovery Premium offers some massive advantages in terms of collecting your Teams data that you don't get with the standard edition. That's the argument we made for charging people extra. It has been nice, and the company made a good business decision. I'm not angry about it. However, as they advance the platform, you won't be able to get certain features with an E3 license, which will make it harder on the compliance front.
I wasn't involved with the pricing side, but I heard it's pretty expensive for the licensing. In the positions that I've had through contracting over the years, I've heard talk of it being overpriced and underperforming compared to its competitors.
