> when more secure (Linux-based) options are far cheaper and widely deployed
Hold on, we are talking about SharePoint here. I don't know any software that could replace it, that is allowing office suite to collaborate in a way SharePoint Server does it (versioning, concurrent editing, online editing, workflows, customizations, OneDrive, IRM, compliance, search etc.)
Even in a windows environment. Can you name more secure, cheaper and widely deployed alternative?
This is SharePoint on-premise, so Google Workspace isn’t a good comparison?
Also, even if we do look at cloud: Workspace isn’t bad (exception: sheets vs Excel), but SharePoint is the center of Teams, Power Platform, PowerBI… to replace M365 with Workspace means a lot of research, setup and testing of 3rd party alternatives to the above.
If you’ve ever worked in a well configured Microsoft stack, nothing beats the integration.
There’s no reason to believe Workspace would be more secure if it had the same feature set/integration configured.
