It has to get more competitive because we are starting to see some of the competitors providing better pricing, and some of it, of course, is to gain market share. The Defender product pricing is probably a little higher than the competitors.

The pricing for Microsoft products can be a little costly at times. On the other hand, Microsoft has an entire ecosystem that covers all the pillars of security, such as identity, applications, endpoints, etc. It helped us avoid purchasing products from multiple vendors and integrating those as an ecosystem. It can be somewhat expensive for small organizations, but it's competitive. I don't see a significant difference between Microsoft products and other solutions.
A business endpoint is any device (such as mobile phone, desktop, laptop, tablet, server, or any virtual environment) that is physically an endpoint on a business’s enterprise computer network.
