Number of Seats/Users: {post.post_title} offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows {post.post_title} that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from {post.post_title}. {post.post_title} reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: {post.post_title} offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from {post.post_title}. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: {post.post_title} often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that Vade for M365 is generally perceived as a strong, cost‑effective email security layer for Microsoft 365, with a few important caveats to keep in mind.

From what Spendbase clients share with us, the main positive themes are:

• Ease of deployment and use
• Very quick to integrate with Microsoft 365.
• Simple, intuitive interface.
• Quarantine access is easy for both IT and end users.

• Once configured, it often becomes “set and forget.”

• Security and functionality

• Solid protection against spam, phishing, and other malicious emails.
• AI-driven filtering that significantly cleans up inboxes.
• Flexible configuration: admins can tune how much control end users have over quarantined emails.

• Ability to scale licenses up and down “on the fly” is appreciated in dynamic environments.

• Value for money

• Our internal data shows that Spendbase clients consistently highlight Vade as cheaper than many competing email security tools.

• Fast perceived ROI thanks to reduced phishing incidents and less time spent sorting spam.

• Support experience

• French-speaking, 24/7 support is a big plus for some organizations.
• However, there are mentions that support can be hard to reach or not always fully helpful.

On the improvement side, Spendbase clients point out a few recurring issues:

• Over-automation / lack of granular control
• The product supervises all mailboxes in the tenant; it’s not always possible to protect only a subset of accounts. This can drive costs up for larger or price-sensitive organizations like schools.

• Some admins feel the back office is “too simple,” with limited actionability and over-reliance on the AI engine.

• Risk of misclassification

• There are rare but critical cases where important threat-related emails (e.g., bomb threats, ransom demands) were blocked as generic ransom messages.

• The proposed workaround of “training” the AI to ignore such content is understandably worrying for security teams.

• Reporting and stats

• Reporting is described as “perfectible” – it works, but some clients want deeper analytics and clearer dashboards.

From a Spendbase discount perspective, Vade for M365 tends to be a strong candidate when you want:

• Strong M365-native integration
• Lower total cost than legacy email security gateways
• Simple user experience

But it’s important to assess:

• Need for mailbox-by-mailbox licensing control
• Expectations around support quality and reporting depth
• Risk tolerance for rare but high-impact misclassifications
