The ideology here is „enterprise security platform“. This is marketing brainwash.

At the moment I can trace every action of every user on every machine, all from one platform that alerts me if anything abnormal happens.

As an administrator of around 10,000 servers and devices, I have never had this ability before.

I am sure there are better products out there, but this is what the company purchased, and the visibility it has given us into our organization has been a game changer for us.

I apologize for not hating it just because it is Microsoft.

Arguably, I'm not as concerned about "every action of every user on every machine" as I am the exceptions, and the usability issues the aforementioned "security platform" causes in terms of end user efficiency are probably not offset by the perceived security gains from your POV.

Fwiw, for as much rightful criticism as Google receives for things like killing consumer products and behaving badly with user data, its internal IT runs better than -- in my opinion as an ex-employee -- any other large enterprise in the world. And it's secure.
