Chrome Enterprise Premium

Chrome Enterprise Premium is the paid tier of Google's Chrome Enterprise offering, adding security controls above Chrome Enterprise Core, which is free. It brings data loss prevention, threat protection and context aware access to the browser most organisations already deploy.

Building on the incumbent browser is the decisive advantage. Every competing product in this category has to persuade an organisation to adopt a new browser or install something into the existing one, whereas Chrome is already deployed nearly everywhere. Turning on a paid tier of what staff already use is a policy change, not a rollout, and that difference is larger in practice than any feature comparison.

Publishing a per user price is equally unusual here, where competitors quote. At 6 dollars per user per month a buyer can size the cost immediately and weigh it against a dedicated enterprise browser without entering a sales process.

Context aware access is the substantive capability, allowing access decisions based on user, device posture and context rather than on network location, which is the practical expression of zero trust for web applications. The free Core tier provides management and reporting, so an organisation can establish browser management before deciding on the paid controls.
