Isn't E1 $8/month? I currently pay $5/month
Oh, you have that plan? What are you getting that is better than the $4 enterprise plan?
Are you talking about the $4/month email only plan?
Correct. It is the entry level member of the enterprise family.

I really do want to try the other features of the full or at least small business version.

What features does it include?
-
Sharepoint, OneDrive for Business, Office online apps
-
Oh, online apps but no desktop versions?
-
-
adding desktop raises the price from $5 to $12.50
-
I saw that, did not realize that the cheap version still had the online versions of those apps (or at least some of them.)
-
Here is what my logon screen looks like.
-
Cool. That is definitely a really good value, then.
-
yep, very hard to justify paying $3/month for E1. Even more so going to E3/E4 $20/22 a month.
Those extras are nice, but really I'm guess more often than not just not needed - Access? Really? OK fine, take away Access and lower the price and charge $2-4 more just for access.
-
I think Access is a bit of a red herring. That's not the value to those plans for anyone. It's Yammer, Video Hosting, Legal Hold, Compliance Tools, BI, GPO, etc.
-
Do you get Skype for Business in that plan?

Yeah, you're right. And at the size of 300, some of those things might be pretty cool.
What GPO things do you get?

Yammer's valuable? We get it as part of our EA but it sees almost no use.

Yeah, it can be, especially in a large company. It's got its high points. It is a bit like an internal Facebook page. It is good for cutting chatter on other systems while keeping people up to date. Not for every company and we only use it very lightly. But it is nice that it is searchable and we can be a bit more social while being very spread out.

Can someone summarize the various MS offerings for me? This topic has gotten me even more confused, I think.
Is the storage section of O365 not really 0365 but ODfB?
