For many customers, it's too expensive. It comes at a price. What we end up doing is activating it for the purpose of extracting an action plan, then we turn it off.

One thing that we heard not from our engineers but from our procurement team was that they are not very clear on the licensing and pricing for Microsoft Security Copilot.

One of the pain areas I have with Microsoft is that most of the security gets checked in only with E5. There is a very limited set of things one could do with E3.

Regarding pricing, it is a bit high, as each time it is discussed with customers, pricing becomes a challenging topic.

The issue with all AIs, not just Microsoft Security Copilot, is that when I do something and feel it's wrong, I need a tech lead to verify.
