“At Obsidian, we use Opal to run quarterly access reviews, maintain just-in-time access, and handle access requests to some of our sensitive applications, like AWS. Once we started using Opal’s Risk Layer in AWS, it changed the way we connect to it, which is fantastic. We’re excited to find the time to set up a deeper Terraform integration, along with the API and CLI that Opal built. Overall, Opal has been a great time saver—really helped us out.”
Chris Kennington
Security Engineer, Obsidian
"At Databricks we've extended Just-in-Time (JIT) Access to over 30,000 production and engineering systems, and we were able to integrate Opal with internal systems thanks to Opal's comprehensive API. Thanks to such an extensive data layer, we're excited about Opal's new AI features: just as we built Databricks Genie for our customers, we're now evaluating Opal's MCP server to maintain Least Privilege for our authorization layer at scale."

"At Grammarly, Opal enabled us to migrate all access management for over 150 corporate applications and hundreds of production services across two public clouds to a unified employee experience in just a few weeks."

Opal helps Elastic protect more of our attack surface than we could before with a small but mighty team. Whether we're speeding up workflows with Slack, orchestrating authorization directly from Terraform, or using the API, Opal has helped us do more with less. In the near future, we're excited to implement Just-in-Time (JIT) access for all of our employees who use GitHub, as well as begin to secure LLMs, service accounts, and other NHIs with Opal."

CISO, Elastic
“Access reviews and access management were a tedious time sink for us at Obsidian before we adopted Opal. But unlike a lot of other security products, Opal is one of those rare products that gives us back time to focus on what matters, which is amazing.”

“IGA tools at other companies gave me visibility on which employees had access to which systems, but not what they could do within those systems. With Opal, I can adjust fine-grained access to individual resource groups in Terraform and AWS. It’s a real game changer not having to see alerts in one dashboard and then go fix the problem in two others.”
