Where to start?
Hello,
where to start to understand how the various pillars of Defender works? How to understand in what mode create a pilot? Training?
For example, I want to start to use Defender for Office 365, I have users with M365 Basic and Standard Business subscriptions, so I have to add it as add on, but: could I add it on some users and then remove after the tests?
Also, I know that I can add Defender for Endpoint for my subscriptions, but where I find prices for this for M365 Business subscriptions (I found only for enterprises subscriptions).

- where to start to understand how the various pillars of Defender works? Have a look at this Mechanics video, where Rob Lefferts explains how Microsoft 365 Defender is part of Microsofts XDR solution "Microsoft Defender"
- How to understand in what mode create a pilot? Training? We published this rich evaluation guide for M365D which walks you through the steps: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/mtp/mtp-evaluation. You can also check out the Ninja training https://aka.ms/m365dninja

- Also, I know that I can add Defender for Endpoint for my subscriptions, but where I find prices for this for M365 Business subscriptions (I found only for enterprises subscriptions). Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is also available as a standalone SKU, and is offered through volume licensing programs and the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program.
Hope that helps!

Hello HeikeRitter
thanks for your rich reply. I've see previously the page for evaluation and it seems very interesting, but with a superficial reading, it seemed good but not easy to understand and apply. However, among the various links and with the confirmation that I can add and subtract the licenses, I read that in the security center there is a learning space with the explanation of the services and various tutorial.
For Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, there are already a few SKU that I can check here in Italy or are different for various countries? I've checked our CSP, Ingram Micro but found nothing, so I have to contact them; I also tried a simple research with search engine for volume licensing and have no luck..however, thanks for the info, I think I can find something with a better search.
If I can give a suggestion, I say Microsoft to push harder for these services and their documentation, trials, maybe with an hub site; also to push for small business and offers tailored for them..sometimes I see prices or example or documentation for enterprise that are not good for small business and shops.
Thanks,
Marco
