Purview: Capabilities and licensing

Pick the Microsoft 365 plan you have and check, capability by capability, what Microsoft Purview covers and what you are missing. Nineteen capabilities, the same ones for all nine plans, so the comparison is a fair one.

The Frontline plans (F1 and F3) are left out of the simulator because they are carved up differently. And since Microsoft changes what plans contain fairly often, always check with your partner before deciding.

Want the full detail, plan by plan, of what each SME and Enterprise licence brings, and how to avoid buying more licence before you have configured the one you already have? It is all laid out in Microsoft Purview: what each licence includes.

Need a hand getting value out of what you already pay for?

The simulator tells you what your licence covers. Configuring it properly — labels, DLP, retention, insider risk — is a different conversation. If you want to go through it together, with no strings attached, I am here.
