Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft 365 Business Premium

Microsoft 365 Business Premium allows my business to have robust and enterprise-grade IT security and business productivity software. Due to being a Managed Services Provider my business needs more than just basic IT security to safeguard data and communications. My business also needs the productivity and communications software included such as Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, To-Do, Lists, Planner, and Teams.
  • Security for email and data.
  • Microsoft Defender for Business is included for endpoint protection.
  • Secure communication between Microsoft 365 tenants.
  • Easy to understand management of endpoints and user accounts.
  • Security policies to protect logins.
  • Security policies for mobile phones, tablets, and PCs.
  • Admin portals for SharePoint, Exchange, and Teams.
  • Slow down the upgrades and changes.
  • Advanced Security for email and data protection.
  • Microsoft Defender for Business.
  • Microsoft End Point Manager.
  • Security Policies.
  • Productivity software such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, To-Do, Lists, Planer, etc.
  • Peace of mind in regards to security for mail and data.
  • Major reduction in the use of paper and printer supplies.
  • Communication and productivity increase.
  • Updates and upgrades can be difficult to stay on top of and causes editing of in-house documentation for end users as well as increased time to learn new features and updates.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium is very well suited for small to medium-sized organizations. Due to the robust security and governance abilities I recommend this as the starting point license for any small and medium business. The Basic and Standard licenses do not offer the unique advanced security features that Premium has to offer such as End Point Manager, Defender for Business, and policies. As well as other items. Premium may not be suited for businesses with less than 3 employees but I would highly consider it again because of the security features.
