Agent-readable comparison

Microsoft Copilot vs Perplexity Enterprise

Name: Microsoft Copilot vs Perplexity Enterprise: agent-readable comparison
Creator: onAI

Published by onAI. onAI also sells one of the products compared here. Findings about other products link to public sources so you can check them; statements about onAI are marked as stated by onAI.

This comparison has 46 criteria with sourced findings for both products, including 46 that a second agent cross-checked for both. 50 criteria have a sourced finding for at least one product. "Sourced" findings passed publication validation: they are scoped, fresh and cite public resolved sources. "Agent cross-checked" findings also received a separate agent source pass, not necessarily a hands-on test. "Stated by onAI" marks the publisher's own statements about its product (evidence type vendor-statement), which cite no third-party source. Humans approve the rubric, templates and generator; they do not review every finding. No winner is declared. A missing sourced finding is not evidence that a capability is absent.

Models

MOD-01 Model catalogue and providers

Judgment rule: List each available model by provider and plan, including reasoning, fast and multimodal variants. Record whether the user picks the model, the product routes automatically, or both. A provider counts only if at least one of its current models is selectable on the scoped plan.

Microsoft Copilot

Agent cross-checked Support: partial

Commercial PowerPoint editing offers Auto, ChatGPT and Claude; this is not a catalogue for every Copilot chat or agent.

Availability: generally-available · Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps and Teams; version=Continuously updated commercial service, retrieved 2026-10-21; plan=Commercial Microsoft Copilot subscription: PowerPoint editing mode only; add_ons=Eligible Microsoft 365/PowerPoint subscription, Commercial Microsoft Copilot subscription, Anthropic subprocessor enabled by the enterprise administrator for Claude; deployment_mode=multi-tenant-saas; region=Commercial cloud; EU/EFTA tenant scope where stated, including Switzerland; no government-cloud generalisation; os=not specified.

Limitations

Scope is commercial PowerPoint editing, with regional/subscription availability limits; no tenant picker or multimodal fixture was observed.
Cowork and Studio roadmap launches are separate experiences and are excluded from this current-model finding.

MOD-03 Bring-your-own keys and provider contracts

Judgment rule: Record customer-held API keys, customer cloud accounts (Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, Vertex), and aggregator routes (OpenRouter, LiteLLM) as separate routes. Record what still works without a vendor-provided model, whether prices change with BYO, and documented restrictions. API-key support does not imply support for the customer's own Azure contract.

Limitations

This is not a blanket connector entitlement for included Copilot Chat. The licence matrix permits Studio/pay-as-you-go synced data in agents only and excludes federation.
External-service subscriptions/permissions and connector-specific regional rollout remain prerequisites.

microsoft_365 Which M365 sources (SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Teams) are connected? [supported]: Paid Copilot grounds on Microsoft Graph work content.

KNOW-04 Permission-aware retrieval

Judgment rule: Using two test users, verify that a restricted document in the fixture tenant is never cited or summarised for the user without access, including after a permission change. Record whether permissions are enforced at query time by the source system, mirrored into an index, or not enforced. Record the propagation delay of a revocation.

Microsoft Copilot

Agent cross-checked Support: partial

Microsoft documents source-permission controls; the required restricted-document test was not run.

Limitations

All positive permission findings use the paid work-grounding route, not included Copilot Chat. Purview/SAM require their applicable entitlements.
No two-user restricted-document or revocation test; connector disable propagation is not proof of source-ACL revocation timing.

source_permissions_respected Are source permissions enforced per user? [supported]: In licensed Copilot work grounding, Graph data is limited to the requesting user's access; this was not tested. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-privacy, microsoft-copilot:ms-connector-license-r2.
enforcement_point Does the source system, a mirrored index or nothing enforce them? [supported]: Paid synced grounding filters item ACLs in Graph; paid federated access executes with the authenticated source-user identity. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-connectors-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-federated-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-connector-license-r2.
revocation_delay How quickly does a removed permission take effect? [unknown]: How quickly does a removed permission take effect? Unverified after checking Copilot privacy, connector architecture and Purview DLP; no two-user or permission-revocation fixture.
admin_scope_controls Can admins exclude sites, folders or labels? [supported]: Licensed Copilot deployment guidance documents restricted SharePoint search/SAM; federated access also intersects tenant User access and connector staging. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-setup, microsoft-copilot:ms-federated-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-connector-license-r2.
sensitivity_labels Are Microsoft Purview or similar labels respected? [supported]: Purview can exclude labelled content from processing through configured DLP rules. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-dlp.

Perplexity Enterprise

Agent cross-checked Support: partial

Live query permissions differ from static Project copies and shared answers.

Limitations

Remaining atomic gaps: sensitivity_labels.

source_permissions_respected Are source permissions enforced per user? [partial]: Live searches use the connected user's permissions. Shared answers can reveal file content to recipients without original-file access; Project copies use Project membership. No two-user scenario was run. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-connectors, perplexity:perplexity:p-connectfaq.
enforcement_point Does the source system, a mirrored index or nothing enforce them? [supported]: Source OAuth governs live queries; Project imports create static copies governed by Project access. Original-file links require source access, which does not prevent answer disclosure. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-connectors, perplexity:perplexity:p-connectfaq.
revocation_delay How quickly does a removed permission take effect? [partial]: FAQ says source permission changes affect live search immediately; this was not measured. Project copies require separate removal or access management. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-connectfaq.
admin_scope_controls Can admins exclude sites, folders or labels? [partial]: Admins enable connectors; users connect OAuth accounts and select folders. Sales-assisted connector RBAC gates runtime use. Admin site/folder/label exclusions were not established. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-connectors, perplexity:perplexity:p-connector-rbac.
sensitivity_labels Are Microsoft Purview or similar labels respected? [unknown]: Unknown for sensitivity_labels. No two-user permission-revocation or sensitivity-label scenario was run. A source-level administrator exclusion policy and Purview enforcement matrix were not retrieved.

KNOW-05 Freshness and sync model

Judgment rule: Record live (federated) search versus a copied index, sync interval, deletion propagation, and where the index is stored. Edit and delete one fixture document and record when answers change. A copied index adds storage location to DATA-01.

Microsoft Copilot

Agent cross-checked Support: partial

Both copied Graph indexes and live MCP federation are documented.

Limitations

Copilot Chat without the add-on is not included as a general indexed/federated grounding entitlement.
No edit/delete propagation fixture; self-serve Confluence/Jira remains limited preview.

live_or_indexed Is content searched live or copied into an index? [supported]: Licensed Copilot can ground on synced Graph copies or query federated sources live without a separate external-content index. The licence matrix allows metered Chat agents to use synced data only. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-connectors-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-federated-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-connector-license-r2.
sync_interval How often does an index refresh? [partial]: For the limited-preview personal Confluence/Jira synced route, docs describe roughly15-minute incremental and seven-day full crawls; this is not a general federated or connector SLA. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-personal-sync-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-connector-license-r2.
deletion_propagation How quickly does a deleted document disappear? [unknown]: How quickly does a deleted document disappear? Unverified after checking connector overview and personal-sync documentation; no edit/delete propagation fixture.
index_location Where is indexed content stored? [partial]: Paid synced grounding uses the Microsoft365 tenant Graph cloud index; federation does not copy that external content into an index. A country-level index map remains unverified. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-connectors-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-federated-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-connector-license-r2.

Limitations

The partial atomic answers state their documentation or verification limits.
No positive or negative connector audio/video capability is asserted. The documentation discrepancy is a named gap; the live-versus-copy finding is restricted to document formats common to both guides.

live_or_indexed Is content searched live or copied into an index? [partial]: For documented text/Office files, Standard Search queries sources live without a Perplexity file-index copy; attachments and Project imports keep snapshots. Media connector support is unknown because the introduction excludes audio/video while the FAQ lists them. Direct media uploads are a separate workflow. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-connectors, perplexity:perplexity:p-connectfaq.
sync_interval How often does an index refresh? [supported]: Project imports require manual reimport to refresh; no automatic sync. Live queries have no batch refresh interval. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-connectors, perplexity:perplexity:p-connectfaq.
deletion_propagation How quickly does a deleted document disappear? [partial]: New live queries reflect source changes. Existing Project copies remain until removed or reimported; propagation timing was not measured. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-connectors, perplexity:perplexity:p-connectfaq.
index_location Where is indexed content stored? [partial]: FAQ names AWS S3 for copied files without a region. Exact Project index, storage and backup locations remain unknown. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-connectfaq.

VEN-05 Source licence

Judgment rule: Record licence per component (client, server, connectors, hosted extensions) and revision. Distinguish OSI open source, source-available with restrictions (branding clauses, user caps), and closed. Repository visibility is not a licence classification.
