Which Microsoft 365 Plan is Right for My Business

What is Microsoft 365?

Microsoft 365, formerly known as Office 365, combines the classic Office apps with cloud services like business email, file storage, collaboration tools, device management, and advanced security. Unlike traditional perpetual Office licenses, Microsoft 365 is a subscription service that receives continuous updates and includes cross‑device access to the latest apps and features.

Microsoft 365 is available in Family & Personal editions and Business & Enterprise editions that support organizations of any size.

Microsoft 365 Included Services and Apps

The Microsoft 365 subscription includes a mix of apps and services depending on the plan selected.

OneDrive

Similar to a traditional hard drive, OneDrive is a cloud storage service that allows a user to store important files all in one location. From there, these files can be accessed from virtually anywhere. With a Microsoft 365 subscription, you can use OneDrive to share content and collaborate with people in real-time. Additionally, it’s cross-device and cross-platform design allows people to start files on one device and pick up where they left off on another.

SharePoint

Every Microsoft 365 subscriber gets 1 TB of personal OneDrive storage, with sync clients available for every desktop platform. The Files on Demand feature allows users to view and manage cloud-based storage using File Explorer.

Microsoft Teams

This collaborative platform replaces the older Skype for Business service, offering unified communications, HD video conferencing, and instant messaging for Microsoft 365 subscribers in an organization, along with a team-and-channel-based architecture that covers much of the same feature set as alternatives like Slack.
