FAQ

Questions cost, Cloud PC, and MSP teams usually ask before they start.

Scope, fit, speed to first result, and governance: the things most people ask before a trial.

Which Microsoft products does EtherInsights cover?

EtherInsights covers Microsoft 365, Azure, and Windows 365. The lead motion is Microsoft 365 and Azure cost management: licence waste, Azure right-sizing, savings reports, and ownership. It also supports full Windows 365 lifecycle management, tenant management, user onboarding and offboarding, security assessments, Copilot readiness, device management, and Intune reporting.

How does EtherInsights help with Copilot readiness?

EtherInsights scores a tenant against five Copilot readiness vectors: licensing, data governance, sensitivity labels, sharing posture, and Purview coverage. Each finding lands as an owner-backed remediation proposal with evidence ready for the deployment review before go-live.

Does EtherInsights manage Windows 365 end-to-end, or just monitor it?

End-to-end. EtherInsights covers Windows 365 design, deployment, configuration, and day-two management: cohort sizing, image and licensing plans, rollout waves, MDM baseline alignment, connection health, side-blade troubleshooting, migration baselines from Azure Virtual Desktop or legacy VDI, and drift detection against the pinned Cloud PC baseline.

Can EtherInsights help with Windows 365 planning and migration?

Yes. Teams use EtherInsights to baseline Windows 365 rollout plans, compare Azure Virtual Desktop and legacy VDI estates against Cloud PC assumptions, and carry those findings into deployment and day-two review decisions.

Is EtherInsights suitable for MSPs as well as internal IT teams?

Yes. EtherInsights supports both internal IT and governance teams and MSPs delivering managed Microsoft services. MSPs can use it across multiple customer tenants to provide consistent posture, reporting, and remediation evidence at scale. The same coverage applies per customer: Microsoft 365 and Azure cost, Windows 365 lifecycle, tenant backup and drift, user onboarding and offboarding, security conformity and Copilot readiness, and Intune reporting. Pricing is per active user, with volume and MSP pricing on request, so a partner adding customers is not renegotiating the model each time. In practice partners use it to standardise what a quarterly business review looks like across the base: the same evidence, the same named owners, and posture and savings tracked over time rather than rebuilt for each customer. The 14-day trial covers the same scope, so a partner can prove the model on one customer tenant before taking it across the base.

How quickly can we see our first results?

Most teams produce their first posture, readiness, or savings view within hours of connecting EtherInsights. There is no new infrastructure to deploy. It works with your existing Microsoft data through read-only access, so the first connection is a consent step rather than a project. The 14-day trial is the usual way to test that: connect the tenant, run the Microsoft 365 and Azure cost views, and see whether the licence waste and Azure right-sizing findings hold up in your own estate before any commitment. The same evidence then carries into the recurring rhythm, because each finding lands with a named owner and a next action rather than as a chart, which is what makes the first view usable in a service review instead of a one-off look. Pricing is public at £0.79, $1 or €1 per active user, so nothing has to wait on a quote before the first evidence exists.

Can EtherInsights support quarterly business reviews?

Yes. It is built for recurring review cadences. Teams use it to prepare QBR evidence, track posture and savings over time, assign accountable owners, and demonstrate governance progress to stakeholders.

How does EtherInsights handle data security?

EtherInsights is built around read-only access and ISO 27001-backed operational controls. Data access stays scoped to your Microsoft environment so teams can review posture, drift, and optimisation opportunities without adding new deployment overhead.
