# Microsoft Copilot vs Perplexity Enterprise

> 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.

> Perplexity Enterprise lifecycle: sunset. The organisation file repository retired October 1, 2026; the vendor says remaining files are deleted. This does not end Enterprise or Projects. Scope: Legacy Enterprise organisation file repository only. Continuation: Projects or supported File Connectors continue; downloading and moving files requires manual migration. Checked 2026-10-21; agent cross-checked 2026-10-21; check again by 2026-12-20. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-repo-retire, perplexity:perplexity:p-filelimits, perplexity:perplexity:p-security-hub.

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. It does not declare a winner. 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

Verification status: Agent cross-checked (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.

- providers — Which model providers are available? [supported]: PowerPoint editing names OpenAI ChatGPT and Anthropic Claude; the enterprise administrator must enable Anthropic before Claude appears. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-ppt-model-r2.
- current_models — Which current models are selectable on this plan? [partial]: This PowerPoint selector names ChatGPT and Claude, without versioned build IDs. GPT-6 Astra/Fable roadmap entries for Cowork/Studio do not establish PowerPoint or standalone Chat availability. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-ppt-model-r2.
- user_choice — Can users pick the model per chat? [supported]: In PowerPoint editing mode, the user chooses Auto, ChatGPT or Claude; the choice resets to Auto after the session. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-ppt-model-r2.
- auto_routing — Does the product route between models automatically, and is the chosen model shown? [partial]: PowerPoint Auto chooses a model; exact routed version and routing rationale are not established by this guide. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-ppt-model-r2.
- multimodal_input — Which models accept images, audio or files? [unknown]: Per-model image/audio/file modalities and a separate plan-specific standalone Chat picker remain unverified after reviewing PowerPoint selection and commercial model documentation.

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. Without that add-on, shared SharePoint/synced-connector data requires an eligible metered agent; ordinary Copilot Chat is not assigned equivalent grounding. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-privacy, 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.

Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-skills-20261026, perplexity:perplexity:p-projects-20261026.
- creator_permissions — Can admins limit who creates them? [partial]: The sales-assisted Enterprise Roles & Permissions guide lists Manage organization skills for creation/modification/review. Plugin creation/publishing permissions are separate and depend on rollout. This does not establish identical self-serve controls or a universal assistant-creation role. Sources: perplexity:perplexity:p-roles-20261026.

### AGT-02: Tools, actions and MCP

Judgment rule: Record built-in tools, custom actions (OpenAPI), MCP client support (local and remote servers), authentication model per tool (shared service account or per-user OAuth), and admin approval of tools. Verify one external-tool call and its access boundary.

Paid Copilot documents authenticated MCP tools and conditional writes; the October16 detailed guide supersedes the older generic read-only rollout description.

Availability: unknown
Delivery: native
Scope: surfaces=Microsoft Copilot paid work chat, Copilot Studio extension and agent builder, separate licensing where stated; version=Continuously updated commercial service, retrieved 2026-10-21; plan=Paid Microsoft Copilot/E7 federated connectors and paid Copilot Agent Builder; Studio is only the separately licensed extension route; add_ons=Eligible Microsoft 365 base subscription, Paid Microsoft Copilot add-on; called Microsoft 365 Copilot in some source pages, Source-service credentials/subscriptions and Purview entitlements where required; deployment_mode=multi-tenant-saas; region=Commercial cloud; EU/EFTA tenant scope where stated, including Switzerland; no government-cloud generalisation; os=not specified.

Limitations:
- Reconciliation: October6 overview retains read-only/early-October text; October16 detailed federation/setup pages explicitly document writes. The current finding is conditional protocol behavior, with actual tenant write availability unknown.
- Researcher has an explicit read-only boundary. No external call, approval or access-boundary fixture was executed.

- builtin_tools — Which tools are built in? [supported]: Paid experiences include Researcher, Analyst and Facilitator. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-price-us.
- custom_actions — Can admins add API actions? [partial]: Agent Builder directs authored external-action scenarios to Copilot Studio. Separately, paid federated MCP connectors can expose create/update/delete tools where supplied by the publisher. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-builder, microsoft-copilot:ms-custom-mcp-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-federated-r2.
- mcp_client — Can it use remote MCP servers, and with what admin control? [supported]: Custom federation accepts a remote MCP server with search/fetch/query and optional create/update/delete tools. Federation requires the querying user's paid add-on/E7; Studio/pay-as-you-go alone is insufficient. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-custom-mcp-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-connector-license-r2.
- tool_auth — Do tools act as the user or as a shared account? [supported]: Federated authenticated tools use OAuth/source-user identity and source permissions. Tenant User access, publisher controls and staged rollout also apply. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-federated-r2, microsoft-copilot:ms-custom-mcp-r2.
- tool_approval — Can admins approve or block tools, and can users confirm actions before they run? [partial]: Where a connector supplies writes, October16 docs require initial explicit approval with per-tool Allow once/conversation/Always allow settings. Researcher remains read-only. The Coming soon label concerns the admin Tools list. Sources: microsoft-copilot:ms-federated-r2.

Limitations:
- Copilot’s prompted translation does not establish preserved page/table layout or a managed corporate glossary.
- Word Translator is a separate base-app command; SharePoint/OneDrive glossary translation is separately metered document processing requiring Azure billing and permissions.
- No shared translation/glossary/Swiss-language fixture or complete dedicated-engine specification was verified.

- document_translation — Can whole documents be translated with formatting kept? [partial]: Copilot Chat documents translation of attached or referenced file content. Microsoft separately documents Word Translator creating a formatted translated copy; that is a Word command, not a Copilot Chat formatting guarantee. No DE-to-FR/IT layout fixture was run.
