Suggestion for Ideal Defender for Endpoint License Plan

John Thanks for the detailed reply. Currently for Endpoints, we plan MDE Plan 2 and for Servers, Defender for Servers Plan 1 since it already has MDE integration(also, advanced features in Servers Plan 2 may not be needed in this scenario). But one confusing aspect is, Defender for Endpoint has a per user subscription whereas Defender for Servers has a per server subscription. It would have been great if MDE was also based on asset, i.e per endpoint since it's an endpoint-based tool and not a user-baser tool like O365.

Also Defender for Servers primarily needs an Azure subscription. But our customer has no Azure presence currently. So in this scenario, they need to pay for MDE Plan 2, Azure Subscription and then Defender for Servers Plan 1.
