How much does DLP cost in India?
There is no single market-wide price. Compare quotations using the same supported channels, licence definition, contract term and operating responsibilities. Include any infrastructure, implementation, support, additional modules and renewal assumptions. A per-device quote cannot be compared directly with a per-user quote without understanding the deployment.
For Sentrix Axis, the current published monthly equivalent is Rs.149 per user on yearly billing. Paid checkout is yearly only. The examples below use that rate and an 18% GST estimate; the server calculates the final checkout amount.
| Licences / one year | Before GST | Estimated total with 18% GST |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rs.1,788 | Rs.2,110 after rounding |
| 10 | Rs.17,880 | Rs.21,098 after rounding |
| 50 | Rs.89,400 | Rs.1,05,492 |
| 100 | Rs.1,78,800 | Rs.2,10,984 |
Is Microsoft DLP free?
Do not assume it is a universally free standalone service. Some DLP capabilities are included in qualifying paid Microsoft subscriptions, while other workloads or advanced capabilities require additional entitlement. Included with an existing paid plan is different from free for any user.
Identify the users, workloads and actions you need, then check Microsoft's current Purview licensing guidance for each feature. A trial is also different from an ongoing production entitlement. Avoid buying an upgrade based only on an old feature table or an undated blog post.

Does Microsoft 365 have DLP, and what is Microsoft's DLP called?
Microsoft provides Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. It can apply to supported Microsoft 365 and other locations, including supported endpoints, depending on configuration and licensing. Having a Microsoft 365 subscription does not establish access to every DLP feature.
Confirm the exact plan, assigned licences and supported locations with the administrator or licensing provider. Endpoint DLP and DLP for a particular collaboration workload can have different requirements. A mailbox policy test does not demonstrate endpoint transfer coverage.

Is the cheapest DLP always the right choice?
Compare the cheapest option that actually meets the required controls and service terms. A low licence price can be offset by an unsupported operating system, missing integration, extra product or significant administration. An expensive option can also be unnecessary if your organization only needs a smaller, well-defined set of controls.
Use a written annual cost model and a proof-of-concept scorecard. Record what is included, what is excluded, the renewal basis and the team's implementation effort. Sentrix Axis's public price is a factual comparison point, not proof that it is the cheapest product in every configuration.
What should you ask before checkout?
Confirm the number of users or devices, billing years, GST treatment, trial eligibility, required technical coverage and responsibilities after purchase. The current Sentrix Axis evaluation is a 7-day, two-licence trial for eligible accounts; eligibility is checked by the service.
If your workflow or rollout is uncertain, bring the device list and two important leakage scenarios to a demo before purchase. Validate the final price in checkout rather than treating an example calculation as a binding quotation.
