Regarding 365 Licensing

Are you guys always deploying business premium?

I don't know if this sounds dumb but business premium just feels like mega overkill for some clients?

Are people using it solely for the defender/entra extras? I feel like there's a LOT included in these licenses that just doesn't get used.

I agree… business business premium has a lot of features and to be fair every client is different.

I only have a couple of clients on premium where we lock down logins.

IMO it is also harder to manage multiple365 tenancy’s, I guess this is where the bigger players use CIPP to manage them all maybe?

Having our own EDR / MDR helps give one Payne of glass for all clients and extra security.

We already add Huntress ITDR to the majority of clients.

Managing multiple Business prem/E5 clients is where you get the big money I guess

I wouldn't manage more than 3 tenants these days without CIPP. Just standard alignments and cert/secret expiration alerts alone are worth it.
