    Likelihood to Recommend
    Microsoft
    Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management is particularly well-suited for discovering, inventorying, and continuously monitoring the external attack surface, especially in environments with heavy Microsoft adoption. It is less suitable as a standalone solution for internal scanning, real-time attack detection, automated remediation, or advanced application testing. Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management es especialmente adecuado para descubrir, inventariar y monitorear continuamente la superficie de ataque externa, sobre todo en entornos con fuerte adopción de Microsoft. Es menos adecuado como solución única para escaneo interno, detección de ataques en tiempo real, remediación automática o pruebas avanzadas de aplicaciones.

    Onapsis
    Onapsis is divided into 4 major components,
    1. Assess
    2. Comply
    3. Defend
    4. Control
    In assess, it does a whitebox and blackbox testing of the ERP systems that have been added to the Onapsis console. It highlights relevant application issues and automates the process, also provides the solutions to implement the fix. In comply, it provides a governance on the various regulatory compliances which the firm has to follow, as well as provides a firm grip to the audit and ERP admin team. In control, it enables a workflow of 15 pre-defined parameter values within the SAP system and helps monitor, and track the changes made to those parameters. The capabilities are to either block, or request for an approval for changes made to those parameters in addition to just monitoring them. In defend, it goes through the SAP logs; and compares it with a pre-defined ruleset to alert the end-users via email or SIEM tool or both.

    Onapsis
    • Eliminating the manual process improves the overall accuracy of results and also frees up valuable resources to focus on other different projects.
    • Onapsis provides great leverage to our technical teams in order to review in a standardized way of the landscape.
    • Onapsis always matches vulnerabilities with useful context and finds possible solutions.
    • Onapsis is usually implemented to continuously monitor, and alert us on any issues on the SAP systems. Not only this but implementing Onapsis also eliminates the network on the year-end and month-end audits and helps in making the overall process faster, smooth, efficient as well as accurate.

    Microsoft
    Because Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management is part of the broader Microsoft Defender family (including Defender XDR, Entra ID, Azure Security, Sentinel, etc.), it:
    Shares identity, endpoint, and threat context across tools
    Reduces the need for custom integrations or connectors
    Works in a “single pane of glass” experience for SOC analysts
    Why it matters:
    Organizations already invested in Microsoft security tools gain greater contextual insight and lower operational overhead.

    Onapsis
    Honestly, I havent use something like Onapsis before and currently I am not aware if there is something similiar out there. They are one of a kind and is a complete suit, so is unlikelly that someone from outside will appear with a better solution.
