Best Syskit alternative for Microsoft 365 governance and security

Syskit helps you govern Microsoft 365 workspaces. CoreView adds security and the ability to restore your tenant.

CoreView vs Syskit: How we're different

Syskit gives IT teams visibility and governance across Microsoft 365 workspaces such as SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive. CoreView supports that operational layers too, while also helping the workflows that keep Microsoft 365 running, from delegated administration to lifecycle automation and policy enforcement.

CoreView then adds another layer of tenant-level security controls, including configuration monitoring, drift detection, privileged access governance, and the ability to restore critical Microsoft 365 settings after mistakes, misconfigurations, or attacks.

CoreView

A resilience platform for the whole Microsoft 365 tenant.

CoreView protects configurations across every workload, detects drift in near real time, and enables you to restore your tenant after a bad change or an attack. When a setting changes anywhere in your tenant, you see what and who changed it, and rewind to a known-good state in minutes.

Syskit

A focused Microsoft 365 workspace governance tool, providing inventory, permissions, sharing, and workspace lifecycle controls for SharePoint, Teams, Groups, and OneDrive.

If your tenant is misconfigured or an Entra setting is tampered with, Syskit can report on workspace activity, but it cannot restore the configuration or see the workloads outside collaboration.

Why IT and security teams choose CoreView over Syskit

Restore the tenant

Syskit retains audit logs, but a log is not a restore. CoreView takes point-in-time snapshots of your tenant configuration and can rewind in a single click, even if you have been locked out. This means a misconfiguration or an attack can become a one-day recovery instead of a one-quarter rebuild.

Control every workload

CoreView helps reduce configuration risk across 8,500+ settings over 225+ object types – including Entra, Intune, Defender, Purview, Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive – with CIS and Essential 8 baselines out of the box. It also brings SharePoint item-level permissions and sharing governance into the same platform.

Enforce least privilege at scale

Syskit's delegation model is centred on workspace ownership within Microsoft 365. CoreView lets you scope admin access across your tenant by department, country, or business unit without handing out more workspace ownership than is necessary. CoreView's Virtual Tenant Segmentation allows for granular scoping of admin rights across more than 400 properties across your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon depicting a question mark inside a speech bubble

Why do organizations choose CoreView over Syskit?

Syskit governs SharePoint, Teams, Groups, and OneDrive workspaces. It does not cover Entra, Intune, Defender, Purview, or Exchange, and it cannot restore tenant configurations.

CoreView hardens your tenant configurations and settings and enables you to restore your tenant after an attack or bad configuration change in minutes.
FAQ icon depicting a question mark inside a speech bubble

We already use Syskit for SharePoint. Why move to CoreView?

CoreView secures the whole tenant within a single platform: configuration backup and restore, drift detection, Virtual Tenant delegation, and hybrid management, plus SharePoint item-level control. You would be replacing a workspace governance tool with a tenant-wide one.
FAQ icon depicting a question mark inside a speech bubble

Does Syskit provide configuration backup or drift detection?

No. Syskit retains audit logs, but it does not back up or restore tenant configuration or detect configuration drift. Your tenant configuration changes constantly, and one change can lock users out or open access that should be closed. An audit log records that the change happened, but it does not flag the change as drift from your approved state, and it cannot put the setting back. CoreView does both.
