Overview

Microsoft 365 Enterprise (E3 and E5) is the tier for organisations that need more than productivity apps — advanced identity, endpoint management, threat protection and compliance in one licence. E5 folds in the security and compliance add-ons that would otherwise be bought separately.

Choosing E3 vs E5

E3 covers most organisations. E5 makes sense when you need Defender XDR, full Purview compliance (insider risk, Communication Compliance, advanced eDiscovery), Teams Phone, or Power BI Pro for everyone — and it's usually cheaper than buying those as add-ons. We model both against your requirements before you commit.
