So, the assumption was that Office 365 E3 was being compared to Microsor Business 365 Just trying to make sure it's clear for the people that may not be quite as familiar with everything.Īlso, from the original question, when E3 is referred to as costing $20/month and the link is pointing to a comparison of Office 365 E3 (not Microsoft 365 E3). Just to clarify, assuming you're talking about Microsoft 365 E3/E5? Because technically that statement holds true for both Microsoft 365 and EMS 365. Here is a podcast episode my cohost and I recorded where we did an introduction to Microsoft 365 that may help as well. Just remember Office 365 does not equal Microsoft 365.and Microsoft doesn’t always do a great job of making that clear.

Yes, it can get confusing at time, but hopefully that helps. However, you can purchase Office 365 E3 for $20/user/month and EMS E3 for $8.74/user/month if you don’t need a Windows 10 license and save yourself ~$5/user/month off the Microsoft 365 E3 plan.įinal option is you could do just Intune for $6/user/month instead of EMS E3/E5 if you don’t need the extra features in EMS. Office 365 E3 is $20/user/month and like was mentioned above does Not include Intune. I believe Microsoft 365 E3 is $34/person/month.ĮMS E3 and EMS E5 both include Intune as well as other features (like Azure AD premium and conditional access). There is both an E3 and E5 for Microsoft 365. Microsoft 365 = Office 365 + EMS + Windows 10.

What does office 365 e3 include
