As a service provider, we do not handle licensing directly. Our focus is on helping customers maximize their software investment. If the customer already has an E5 agreement, we help them get the most out of it.
The tool's pricing is not a problem for customers because they often purchase it as part of a bundle. With an E5 license, for example, users get access to the entire functionality. This is one of the main reasons why many customers are choosing Microsoft. This pricing model is different from other tools in the market. For instance, with Varonis, you have to pay separately for different models like data privilege, data advantage, data transport, and data classification. Varonis, being a data governance tool, requires you to onboard all your servers for file share governance. They have limitations on the number of servers you can have, and if you exceed that limit, you have to pay extra. There are also limits on data transfer volumes, with additional charges for exceeding those limits. Considering all these factors, Microsoft's approach of offering everything in one suite with a per-user charge is appealing to many customers.
The pricing and licensing for the product are quite expensive. Some advanced features are included in the E5 licensing, and it might be beneficial to see some of those features integrated into E3 to make it more accessible.
The price is determined by the enterprise licensing, either the E3 or E5 licensing or the EMS plus security and other feature licensing. We can access it in various ways depending on the organization's needs. We have the option to buy individual aspects or include them as a premium part of our existing licensing for other tasks. Microsoft's licensing and pricing can be more complicated than necessary, a criticism commonly heard from anyone who has dealt with them over the years. However, they have made strides in simplifying it compared to the past. The pricing is competitive and offers good value for the service offerings. It holds up well against other competitors and vendors in the market. Considering the number of capabilities and features integrated into the platform, the price seems fair.
