Business vs E3 vs E5
- Dec 05, 2017
I have seen a table that compares all the SKUs but it's apparently only meant for MS Partners, so can't be shared here. You might want to reach out to one of these partners that can share these specifics with you.
From what I know anyway, Microsoft 365 Business is notable for:
Limited to 300 seats
Office 365 Business (Office 2016)
Subset of EMS features like MDM type features
Windows Autopilot
Windows 10 Business
Whereas Office 365 E3 has instead
Unlimited seats
Information protection - dlp, email encryption, rights management
Office 365 ProPlus
Compliance features like eDiscovery, mailbox hold, archiving
Then there are the similar common core Office 365 features in both like Teams, SharePoint, email, OneDrive, Skype etc.

Hi,
We are a partner, can you advise where the table lives at all?
And thanks for the feedback.

Don't know what it was called, unfortunately, came up in a web search and I just remember the table.
