There is no single “standard” price for managed IT support in South Africa. Two businesses with the same number of employees can require very different levels of support depending on their systems, locations, cloud services, security requirements and the amount of onsite work involved.

The better choice depends less on which platform is “best” overall and more on how your organisation works, which applications your staff depend on, how your files are structured and what security and management controls you need. For many established businesses that already rely heavily on Word, Excel, Outlook, Windows and traditional Office documents, Microsoft 365 is usually the more natural fit.
