The Teams plan is the worst of both worlds. You hit the user or seat limit almost immediately, and then you're staring at a 4x price jump to get the features you actually needed from the start.
The real trap is thinking "Zero Trust" is just about a pretty dashboard. You need the logging, the custom session durations, the granular policies, the actual security controls. Teams dangles them just out of reach. If you're serious about replacing a VPN, you'll outgrow it in six months. Skip the middleman and the forced migration. Just get the real quote first.

Trust but verify.
You're spot on about hitting the limits fast. We trialed Teams hoping it would cover our dev and contractor workflow, but the moment we needed to differentiate session policies between those groups, we hit a wall.
The forced migration is the real killer, though. It's not just the price jump, it's the downtime and reconfiguration while you move everything over. I'd argue getting the real Enterprise quote first, even if it's shocking, lets you plan properly from day one.
Ship fast, measure faster.
