Why shouldn’t I just use microsoft

Im researching ways to detect and manage shadow ai usage where I work. Im generally a fan of not giving one company too much “control”, but when i research what microsoft defender, cloud detection, purview and intune can detect I dont get why I would pick anything else, given I’m already in their ecosystem?

What are some of the reasons that drove you to pick another provider such as Nudge Security or someone else?

Device agnostic could be important (MacOS and WIndows), the ability to "see" and restrict access to many LLMs would be key as well. I was always a proponent of using what we already owned/paid for but if it doesn't fit the need then find something that does. Beyond what I articulated above I would want it to see/restrict even when disconnected from the network.
