Vendor-neutral audit

Traffic-light health
Compliance and savings signals your team can act on before renewal.
Microsoft licensing focus
M365, Azure, EA, and CSP patterns — not a generic SAM tool.
Estimate your ROI
Typical engagements recover 10–40% of Microsoft licensing spend. Model savings against platform cost.

Common questions
Short answers for IT and finance owners. Prefer a walkthrough? Try the demo.
Do you resell Microsoft licenses?
No. Vortex Optimizer is an independent audit platform — we help you optimize spend and compliance. We are not a Microsoft CSP or license reseller.
What savings should we expect?
Typical audits identify 10–40% recoverable spend through right-sizing, inactive user reclamation, SKU consolidation, and contract alignment.
What data formats do you support?
CSV and Excel exports from Microsoft 365 admin center, Azure cost management, Entra ID, and common SAM tools.
Can stakeholders access reports directly?
Yes. Professional and Enterprise plans include a stakeholder review view so finance and leadership can approve recommendations.
Is my data secure?
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We never share your tenant data with Microsoft, resellers, or third-party marketers.
What about non-US organizations?
USD is our list price. Regional partners may offer localized pricing and billing — see the partner disclaimer below.
Is there a low-commitment way to start?
Yes — the one-time audit engagement ($12,500) is ideal for validating the platform on a single Microsoft estate before a SaaS subscription.
Can we change plans later?
Yes. Move from Starter to Professional, or into Enterprise, as your needs grow. Contact us to align commercial terms.
Do we pay per seat or per module?
No. SaaS pricing is per organization with tiered estate limits — the full audit platform is included.
