Microsoft Defender for Storage – Price Estimation Dashboard

Can I switch from an existing per-transaction pricing to per-storage account pricing?

Yes, you can migrate to per-storage account pricing in the Azure portal or using any of the other supported enablement methods. To migrate to per-storage account pricing, enable per-storage account pricing at the subscription level.

Can I return to per-transaction pricing after switching to per-storage account pricing?

Yes, you can enable per-transaction pricing to migrate back from per-storage account pricing using all enablement methods except for the Azure portal.

Will you continue supporting per-transaction pricing?

Yes, you can enable per-transaction pricing from all the enablement methods, except for the Azure portal.

How can I estimate the cost for each pricing?

To estimate the cost according to each pricing for your environment, we created a pricing estimation workbook and a PowerShell script that you can run in your environment.

To optimize costs, you might want to exclude specific Storage accounts associated with high traffic from Defender for Storage protections. To get an estimate of Defender for Storage costs, use the Price Estimation Workbook in the Azure portal.

Firstly, let me explain how to Azure Defender alerts works : This article describes security alerts and notifications in Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
