What is the Microsoft Entra Suite?

The Entra Suite bundles ID Protection, ID Governance, Internet Access, Private Access, and Verified ID Premium on an Entra ID P1 or P2 base for about 12 dollars per user per month.

What base license does the suite require?

At least Entra ID P1. The suite price sits on top of that base rather than replacing it, so you pay for the P1 or P2 identity license plus the suite.

How much does the Entra Suite cost?

About 12 dollars per user per month on a P1 base. The same components bought individually run about 17 dollars on P1 or about 23 dollars from standalone P2, so the suite undercuts its own parts.

Is the Entra Suite included in E7?

Yes. The Microsoft 365 E7 Frontier Suite bundles the full Entra Suite with E5, Copilot, and Agent 365, which is why the E7 decision depends partly on how much Entra you use.

Should we license the suite to everyone?

Usually not. Only 30 to 60 percent of seats use the network access features that drive suite value, so license the identity base widely and the full suite narrowly to the cohorts that use access and governance.

What drives most of the suite value?

Internet Access and Private Access, the secure network access layer. They are typically the strongest reason to buy the full suite rather than just an identity base.

Does the suite replace third party tools?

It can. Where the suite covers secure access or governance you currently buy elsewhere, you can remove that tool to offset the suite cost, after confirming feature parity.

How does Entra change the E7 versus assemble decision?

If your seats only need identity, E7 makes you pay for Entra access features they will not use. Price E7 against P1 or P2 plus a targeted suite allocation per cohort before committing.
