End-Customer Benefits

Azure Marketplace simplifies software procurement and IT management (with their various pricing options and multiple deployment methods) to give you flexibility to meet your unique business needs. It also streamlines procurement with standard contract agreements, consolidated billing and invoicing, and centralized subscription management.

Every product available in Azure Marketplace has been certified according to specific criteria. We still encourage you to review each product carefully to ensure it meets your organization’s unique requirements. To learn about the certification policies, we review for each offer type, see the commercial marketplace certification policies.

Purchasing your software via the Marketplace can also contribute to their commitments signed with Microsoft, resulting in Committed Consumption depletion and better discounts moving forward. In turn, this gives Microsoft better visibility into the organization’s make-up of deployed software, resulting in better support and a higher level of engagement from MS support and technical experts to support their overall environment.
