- Microsoft 365 E5 — adds advanced threat protection (Microsoft Defender XDR), security analytics, advanced compliance and eDiscovery, insider risk management, and Power BI Pro. Recommended for regulated industries (finance, healthcare), organisations with serious security or compliance requirements, or anyone wanting Power BI Pro bundled.
With Teams or without?
Both E3 and E5 come in Teams and No-Teams variants. Most enterprises take the Teams version as it is the standard collaboration hub. Skip Teams if your organisation already standardises on another platform.
