Suite Enterprise includes one standard and one partial premium sandbox, while Suite Enterprise Plus includes one standard and one full production premium sandbox.
Most legacy plans only include one standard sandbox. Additional premium sandboxes can be purchased as an add-on by contacting your sales representative or Zendesk Customer Support.
