Office 365/Azure deployment questions. Move to new tenant challenge.
Microsoft is working on a way to rename the name that is exposed in SharePoint, this is the tenant's name. https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/13217277-enable-renaming-the-site-collection-urls?page=1&per_page=20

With this in the pipeline, I do not think it is needed to create a new tenant and move everything over
Hi Mitch
Sorry for the delayed response. In answer to your questions:
Our understanding is the tenant name does get exposed when sharing files in either Sharepoint Online or one drive and from a political sense it wouldn't look very professional on us if we were to still be sending files out which references our old organisation name. This is what we have been advised by a MS partner and why I posted on here was to confirm if that was the case. There is some doubt in my mind now however after your post.
In answer to your second question we have invested in a security solution and when we compare and look at the feature set, it was found the other solution would be a better fit for our organisation.
Thanks
