    Identity and Access Risk Insights Boost Security While Reducing False Positives

    5.0
    Oct 31, 2025
    Our team uses Obsidian to strengthen our SaaS security posture, monitor identity-related alerts, and gain visibility into our shadow IT. It's been an outstanding tool for improving our overall cloud security operations. Obsidian has significantly enhanced our ability to triage incidents quickly and accurately, with very few false positives. The platform's insights into identity and access risks have been especially valuable. Beyond the technology, the customer support has been exceptional - responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive. It feels more like working with a partner rather than another vendor.

The ability to continuously monitor our security posture which was a gap across enterprise was critical however the insight offered with regards to supply chain risk is a game changing capability for which enterprises were previously reliant on their SaaS partners for and didnt know what they didnt know.

Like

Deep SaaS Visibility and Risk Correlation, Accurate , Actionable Alerts with Minimal Noise, Excellent Support and Partnership

Like

Obsidian is our tool for SSPM and anomalous user-behaviour detection across our SaaS ecosystem. The technology itself is phenomenal, providing the right context and support for prioritizing the most critical postural improvements. What really stands out is the partnership. The TAM, customer success and account management teams are truly exceptional.

Dislike

We obviously want to do more faster and Obsidian have been on this journey with us. That being said they seem to be limited by capacity and we would like them to build and deliver features across, posture, supply chain risk, SaaS AI security faster.

Dislike

Integration Depth Varies by Platform and Learning Curve for Initial Setup

Dislike

The cost model is on the prohibitive side while growing and scaling from the start.
