Based on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Teams managing Microsoft 365 security across multiple workloads will find AgileBlue M365 Security worthwhile because it actually catches misconfigurations that break Exchange, Teams, and SharePoint at once instead of requiring separate tools. Continuous monitoring aligned with Microsoft and CISA baselines covers Entra ID through Power Platform, and the risk-based prioritization means you're not drowning in false positives. Skip this if your organization needs detection and response for active threats; AgileBlue prioritizes configuration drift and compliance posture, not incident hunting.
Obsidian Security - Excessive Privileges
Security teams managing SaaS sprawl across SMB to enterprise deployments should pick Obsidian Security - Excessive Privileges for its ability to surface and remediate the permissions nobody remembers assigning. It covers both the visibility gap (ID.AM asset management) and the access control problem (PR.AA) in one workflow, eliminating the manual audit cycles that usually stretch across quarters. Skip this if your organization runs a locked-down SaaS roster with strong provisioning governance already in place; the tool's value compounds with chaos, not with discipline.
