We're a hybrid between Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Business Basic, depending on where a person stands in the company. Our headquarters staff is all Business Premium, while the rest of our staff members who work on government sites are set up for Business Basic because we're just providing them with email services. The headquarters staff members who have a laptop issued out to them have a Premium license. And we have Defender for Endpoint specifically for our corporate-owned devices.

If we want to expand certain capabilities, we do have to purchase some additional licensing. When we first started on the commercial side, we went directly to Microsoft and we had full control over all of our licensing. Then, when we got into certain things, like the endpoint protection license, we had to go through a third-party reseller for that. They, in turn, had to take over our whole licensing structure. We just did that last month, however, it's nice due to the fact that they do offer a 10% discount.

They also offer a one-stop shop, where if we, as the administrators run into some problems, we can go directly to them. They can either open a ticket with Microsoft on our behalf, or they have staff on-site that can help, so then that way I'm not at the mercy for Microsoft to give me a callback.

They also do have certain solutions where if they have to get remote into the machine, for whatever reason, we have to pay them a little bit of extra money to do that. We haven't had to do that part yet, however, it's nice to know that it's there as there are some times where it's just easier to have our employees reach out to them directly. Right now, we're still doing it on our own. That's one of the downfalls of it - that for smaller companies we have to go through a third-party vendor. 

In general, we buy licenses depending on the needs of the client. Most of the time, we purchase Microsoft Exchange licenses, which are less expensive and provide only an email platform and 50 gigabytes of email storage for free. 

You can begin for as little as 5 Euros per month. You will receive a discount if you choose a yearly plan. Then, depending on what license you require, it is paid 10 Euro, 12, 16, or 20 Euro, depending on how much you require. However, if you choose a yearly plan, you will receive a discount.

In terms of pricing, I would rate them a three out of five. They are not expensive, but they are not cheap. When comparing the solution to G Suite, one of their main competitors, they are priced the same. If it is also other competitors, they are very inexpensive. I can tell you that charging 5 Euros per month for an email is a small amount. 

We have an E3 license, and we pay 15 euros a person. 3,000 euros is a lot per month.

For the moment, we are paying on a monthly basis because we are still adapting the support and how we want to proceed. I think we will move to paying for the annual license.

We are planning to switch from Office 365 to Microsoft 365, because we will deploy the security part and the configuration management part with Microsoft Defender and Intel.

I think that we pay $9.99 USD per user, monthly. There are yearly packages available.

Some clients are starting to choose to pay monthly, and I think it's easier for them to understand the impact of the cost to the company.

I would rate the solution 3 out of 5 for the price. I think Microsoft presents a good solution concerning the price.

Pricing and licensing are not an issue with Microsoft - they offer good prices for any subscription. Migrating from other solutions like IBM Domino (NSF format emails) is tricky because Microsoft outlook only accepts *.PST (Windows) or *.OLM (Mac Book) converted emails to have a backup of your older emails or till the last email before the switch over to Microsoft email solution.

We are using the Enterprise Edition. We pay a yearly subscription fee on a per-user basis. It's reasonably priced. 

There is a license required to use this solution.

The price of Office 365 is very expensive.

Office 365 costs 100 euros per year. That's perfectly okay for the features it has.

We have a license to use this solution. We have an E3 license which covers many different solutions.

I’m not sure of the exact cost. In the past, it might have been free. However, now, people do need to pay in order to use it.

I would put the pricing around two out of five. It's not the cheapest price per se. However, due to what it offers, it's actually worth the money.

We do pay a monthly licensing fee, however, I cannot speak to what the exact costs are for the company. 

It's not overly expensive. It's my understanding that it is a pretty inexpensive product. 

I'd rate the cost a two out of ten in terms of how expensive it is. 

If you are a small business and/or have in-house technical capability, getting up and running with Office 365 is fairly simple. I suggest working with a good Microsoft Partner if the organization is large or disparate/distributed.

I don't deal with accounting, so I'm unsure as to what the licensing costs would be.

Licensing is maybe the most confusing part of it – in fact there are certification courses just for licensing! But, we have had both the E3 and E5 levels and provides everything we need.

The number of SKUs and the varied configuration that MSFT offers is evidence, that they are segmenting the offers meticulously well.

The licensing and prices are within the average range. They offer a good price for the services that are obtained. In addition, they offer various licensing plans depending on the required services, from the simplest to the most complex and numerous. The cost is proportional to the number of services.

I'm not sure how much our organization pays for licensing.

We find that the licensing costs are high enough that it makes us restrict the number of users in our organization.  

The pricing is good for all the features that we receive, e.g., Skype for Business.

If it is an in-person query or reference, I do let them know the deal I got, as well as the approach that got me there.

We are using a particular type of license which allows each item to be priced around 30 dollars per month. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

The pricing is not really high, but one can get the software with the license key for free. 

You need to compromise regarding the licensing and pricing.

The pricing/licensing is easy to manage.

Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, or we prepay them.

Pricing and licensing are pay-as-you-go, concept-wise. Plans are available per user per month or per user per year. These are available on Microsoft's website. Users or organizations can choose the plans according to their requirements and budget.

We use a parallel licensing structure through Dell. Originally, there were some limitations; however, those limitations are now rare.

Contact Microsoft about any pricing issues.

Cost to value is much better than on premise SharePoint.

This is not the cheapest option, but the product can scale to the needs of the company.

Setup is bit difficult. Cost-wise everything is affordable.
