Defender for Server: Azure or License based?
Hello! In October of 2022, Microsoft took the Defender for Endpoint Server sku off the price file and replaced with with Defender for Endpoint plan 1 and plan 2 which are purchased through Azure....
Hi. I cannot tell you what way to go with, but I can tell you that in our company (Fellowmind) we only sell Microsoft Defender for Servers to customers via Azure consumption.
Also, if I check the Partner Center, a lot of Defenders SKUs can be sold to customers, however Defender for Servers is not listed (Only Defender for Business Servers, which is an add-on).

Hey Chris! Thanks for your response. My price file (located in the US) does show the following product "Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Server" in all verticals on my price file as well as the Defender for Business Server which you previously mentioned. We have been going with the Azure version pretty exclusively for about a year but when this sku popped up, it got us wondering.
