Let’s face it navigating the world of Microsoft 365 plans can feel like deciding what to order at a fancy restaurant there’s a lot on the menu, and you want to make sure you’re getting the best deal for your money. The two main contenders? Microsoft 365 Business Standard and Microsoft 365 Business Premium. While Business Standard is solid, Business Premium is like upgrading to first class you’re getting more comfort, better perks, and peace of mind. Let’s break it down and show you why Premium is the ultimate choice for your business.
Microsoft 365 Standard vs Premium, What’s on the Table?
Think of Business Standard as your go-to workhorse. It gives you all the essential Microsoft Office apps Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook plus collaboration tools like Teams and SharePoint. Pretty good, right? But here’s the thing, it doesn’t quite cover all the bases for today’s cybersecurity and management needs.
Enter Business Premium. It’s like adding extra toppings to your pizza, it takes something great and makes it outstanding. Premium gives you everything Standard does, plus:
Advanced Threat Protection, Think of it as a security guard for your emails, keeping phishing, malware, and ransomware at bay.
Device Management with Intune, Perfect for managing your team’s devices, whether they’re in the office or working remotely. Lost laptop? No worries, wipe the data remotely.
Conditional Access, Set rules for who can access your data, like having a bouncer at the door of your nightclub.
Azure AD Premium P1, Fancy words for powerful identity management tools, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO).
