Security Suites Licensing Guidance

There’s a new Security Suites Licensing Guidance website from Microsoft.

It’s an interesting site that provides some feature tables that cover the security and compliance features found in the Defender and Purview Suites, as well as the Intune Suite and Entra Suite licenses. The “mini suites” have been somewhat neglected in recent years, but you’ll find the Information Protection and Governance, Insider Risk Management, and eDiscovery and Audit licenses make a comeback and are included here. The three main sections cover the offerings for Enterprise, Frontline Worker, and SMB customers.

We maintain an always up-to-date collection of the latest Microsoft Licensing Guides and resources, all in one place, so you don’t have to. If you’re a subscriber, use our Licensing Guides Gallery (https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery), with an interactive search and filters to quickly find our PDF capture and the Licensing Guidance website link.

Microsoft 365 plan comparison document

There’s an April 2023 version of the popular Microsoft 365 plan comparison document showing you the different components in all of the Enterprise and Frontline Worker plans and the Add-on licences that are available. This time it’s updated for new offerings such as Intune Plan 2 and the Intune Suite. Find this useful document here: https://bit.ly/2LG4gqi.

Intune Plan 2 and Intune Suite

In October 2022 Microsoft announced that Intune would become a family name (rather than just a product) and that there would be a new suite. These changes are now effective from 1 March, 2023. The original Intune User SL is renamed to Intune Plan 1 and then there’s the option of adding on either Intune Plan 2 or the Intune Suite dependent on how much additional functionality you need. Price-wise, Intune Plan 1 is $8 per user per month with Plan 2 and the Suite $4 and $10 respectively. Note if you have an existing licence which includes the original Intune, then adding on either Plan 2 or the Suite is also an option.
