Microsoft 365 E5 cost questions
Why assessment E5 costs?
E5 is one of the highest-cost M365 plans. A Direct CSP assessment can reduce spend without removing the security and compliance stack your teams rely on.
Do we lose E5 security?
No. The plan stays Microsoft 365 E5. Defender, Entra, Purview and compliance capabilities remain available according to your Microsoft configuration.
Can Axeti assessment our E5 mix?
Yes. We assessment user count, current invoice and license mix, then prepare a tailored lower-margin Direct CSP offer.
Is the tenant changed?
No. Users, mailboxes, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID, MFA and security policies remain in place.
How fast can E5 be activated?
After offer approval, licenses are provisioned through Microsoft partner systems, typically within hours.
Who is this for?
Companies with 300+ Microsoft users and meaningful E5 spend, especially teams paying for security, compliance and identity at scale.
What if prices increased?
Axeti compares the increase against Direct CSP pricing. One enterprise customer reduced annual Microsoft licensing costs by about €350,000.
