Opal allows me to define what least privilege looks like and ensure its consistently enforced. This is the first product i've seen that enables deep, granular, zero trust access management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Opal Security? Using Opal requires that administrators genuinely care about least priviledge in their organizations. The product provides all the tools necessary, but you will need to understand who owns what, setup the necessary approvers, and ramp up on the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Opal Security solving and how is that benefiting you? Opal helps us both understand, and action user access. Before using Opal engineering access was generally over-provisioned, long lived, and obscure. After switching to Opal we were able to understand exactly who had access, who needed, and why.

Opal's willingness to listen to our feedback and fix/enhance faster than any other product I have worked with. Intuitive UI, and so far, nothing has 'broken'. All the features work as expected, unlike many industry-leading products that advertise features that do not work when the tire meets the road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Opal Security? Dependency on Okta groups for access governance. I would rather see Opal reconciling access directly from the applications, providing the actual state of application access. Reporting capabilities leave a lot to be desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Opal Security solving and how is that benefiting you? Application access requests, approval workflows and automated access granting.
