There are absolutely large orgs in the Google and Apple ecosystems.

How are you handling compliance/legal obligations like DLP policies on your email and cloud storage, legal holds and investigations, data tagging, and retention policies? I’m under the impression that only Microsoft offers those in a single product.
Legal Hold is easy in the Google Workspace using Google Vault and DLP is a native feature-set for Enterprise plans. Audit and investigation features are very thorough and we’ve used them extensively.
We do use an additional third-party endpoint DLP software with TLS inspection as well.
Yeah, anyone who uses Excel on a professional level can tell you Google sheets etc are NO substitute for Excel. Just so many things the competitors just can’t do

I work for a company that does 10s of billions in revenue, and the finance departments all use excel as well. Pretty much every giant corporations finance departments use excel.
