What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Obsidian Security is the strongest budget-friendly starting point because it advertises a $0/month free tier for up to 1,000 users” GPT-5.4 mini · SSPM · budget prompt · first choice
“Obsidian is currently the standout SaaS vendor for small teams due to its genuinely useful free tier.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SSPM · budget prompt · first choice
“Choose AppOmni or Obsidian if you want deep, enterprise-grade SSPM across many SaaS applications.” Perplexity Sonar · SSPM · comparative prompt · first choice
“Choose AppOmni or Obsidian if you need the absolute deepest control over major apps” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SSPM · comparative prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid: Enterprise-focused platforms like ... Obsidian Security” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SSPM · budget prompt · hard negative
“No built-in remediation or enforcement — identifies threats but doesn't automate response” Kimi K2 · SSPM · negative prompt · soft negative
“Stronger for enterprise budgets; adds UEBA/behavioral analytics” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SSPM · direct prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page obsidiansecurity.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Obsidian Security's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Obsidian Security, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Obsidian Security by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Obsidian Security is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Obsidian Security, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at obsidiansecurity.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
