Opal

An identity and access management platform that offers a consolidated view and control of your ecosystem from on-prem to cloud and SaaS. That is the short version of Opal. The job it does: assessing, monitoring and responding to security threats on your behalf.

It makes the most sense for companies without a full security team. Alongside the main category they mention Cloud Security and Cyber Security. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Opal is based in San Francisco, California. You can read more at opal.dev.

Things worth asking about: response times, what is included in monitoring, and reporting. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Opal, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
