all the above-mentioned tools require are subscription based. Surely, they can offer much more features and better UI than Lighthouse, but could you please name the free tools you mentioned above?

Microsoft
CIPP by Cyberdrain is an open-source tool with no subscription requirement.

Amazing, Thanks.

This blog does not even touch on the most useful multi-tenant management tool available to Microsoft Partners AT NO ADDITIONAL Cost which is Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. This is certainly more of an advertisement for 3rd parties than actual information. Please revise to fully support, explain and help partners enable Microsoft 365 Lighthouse.

Actually, we find Lighthouse quite useless I'm sorry to say. It covers less than 30% of the functionality we need for our customers.
Since there are over a dozen multitenant management platforms on the market, some of which are free, I'm convinced there isn't really a business case for msft to drive M365 lighthouse.
Or is there lior Bela?
