When the Midmarket Bundle is purchased as a license:

• Must be paid for one year upfront

• Cannot add other products (archiving for example to the product).  Without this, a user would not be able to placed on legal hold – which I think it required functionality for most clients

When the Midmarket Bundle is purchased directly through the portal:

• Can pay monthly and can add other products

  Differences between Midmarket bundled purchased via the portal and the E3 plans:

• E3 adds the Data Loss Prevention

• E3 adds unlimited archiving and legal hold

• E3 Office can be deployed with push methods – like group policy deployment or system center, midmarket can only be downloaded by each individual client

• Rights management – internal controls of what other users can do with the senders email is only available in E3

• Support for midmarket is business hours only versus 24x7

• Midmarket is limited to a maximum of 300 users

• Midsize options do NOT qualify for the on-premise  use rights like E plans.  So, all workloads would need to be run in the cloud with the Midmarket licensing
