> Microsoft is the Microsoft of the enterprise security market, more or less. They completely dominate email, largely dominate identity, have a plurality if not a majority on endpoint, but don't compete in network.
The most recent figures I’ve seen are that Microsoft has around 25% of the endpoint market[0], which is a plurality because the market is so fragmented. Proofpoint claims around 24% of the email security market[1].
The only security market you can say they “dominate” is identity, if you ignore the MFA market. AD is, at least, almost everywhere.

That’s one interpretation of events. It’s also completely orthogonal to what I wrote.
