What are our pricing options for OMS to for Windows 10 upgrade analytics? (We have SA already)
Hi Leo,
all the data that comes into OMS through the Windows Analytics solutions is not getting metered and billed by OMS. This means you can add the Windows Analytics solutions to any OMS workspace (either one you already have or a new one) and you will not get charged. It does not matter if you use a free tier, standard tier or premium tier workspace - Windows Analytics data is always free.
That's great news! Thanks for the information.
My only other question is what should my response be over our security teams concerns about turning on telemetry data that will go outside the organization. There's always someone in the security team that will likely object to this.
In order to learn about the telemetry leaving the systems for Upgrade Analytics I would start here.
The more complete answer is this: Depending on your scenario, there are slightly different sets of data leaving your machines.
1) If you want to use Upgrade Analytics to upgrade Win 7 and 8.1 machines, we document the data we send here (we refer to it as CommercialDataOptIn)
2) If you are using Upgrade Readiness for Win 10 to 10 upgrades, your machines have to be at basic telemetry level (info here). You can get some extra data (mainly usage) and use other Windows Analytics solutions by going to Enhanced Telemetry, which is documented here.
Great information again, Thank you. I will make note of this for reference
