## What the models said for it

- "Wing Security or Obsidian often provide the best balance of capability, usability, and price" (Kimi K2, SSPM)
- ""AppOmni and Obsidian lead enterprise SSPM depth."" (Muse Glimmer 30B, SSPM)
- "Obsidian (behavioral depth)" (Grok 4.20, SSPM)

## And against it

- "Obsidian is explicitly identity-centric SSPM + ITDR. If you only want preventive config drift and remediation, you may be paying for detection capability you don't need." (Muse Glimmer 30B, SSPM)
- "A newer platform with a smaller customer base than established competitors... the breadth of SaaS application coverage hasn't yet matched the widest players." (Claude Haiku 4.5, SSPM)
- "worth evaluating if you want a broader SaaS security platform comparison, but their depth can vary by app and use case" (GPT-5.4 mini, SSPM)
