When I reviewed different obfuscator products, it was based on the idea it was only a "speedbump," for our threat actors, and imposed the cost of someone having both the motive and means to reverse it.

If your business model relies on the integrity of a secret (key, derivation component, method, etc), it probably has a single, catastrophic failure mode and obfuscation isn't your solution.
