What do you like best about the product?

Wiz was quick and easy to set up. We found once it was set up there was a quick realization of value with the tool. It integrated quickly and smoothly with our other tools via APIs. The documentation was easy to understand and support was very helpful with guiding us through the entire set up. The interface is nice and clean with an intuitive onboarding guide built into the dashboard. We really like how quickly Wis was able to identify critical risks as well as place prioritization based on impact. This provided actionable insights into the cloud environment we did not have previously. I really like the agentless architecture that keeps things lightweight and easy to adapt the dynamic nature of the cloud.

What do you dislike about the product?

While Wiz excels in many areas, its pricing can be on the higher side for smaller teams or organizations, and the vast amount of data and alerts can sometimes feel overwhelming without proper tuning.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wiz solves the tough challenge of getting full visibility across our multiple cloud environments by giving a clear, comprehensive view of all cloud assets and their vulnerabilities. One of its biggest strengths is its agentless approach with no need to install or manage vulnerability agents every time a VM spins up or shuts down. This was a challenge in ensuring every VM had a vulnerability agent on it. It even takes on the issues of serverless infrastructure like Docker and Kubernetes.

What do you like best about the product?

Wiz being Kubernetes native gives it a huge leg up in this area. It's a great copilot for monitoring security issues in the environment and simple to deploy.

What do you dislike about the product?

For them to surface thing simplistically takes complex amounts of background logic they will often miss chains of logic within. For example, failing to build a path from an ILB all the way to the backend pool it supports with a vulnerability in it. These don't happen too often.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wiz is helping us shift further left by exposing issues in the pipeline early to the committer of the code, but also helping us visually dig through existing runtime exposures with a clean UI.

What do you like best about the product?

After more then 2 years of managing and deploying Wiz platform on our company i can say that this is one of the best in class cloud security products .
Integration and ease of total implementation compare to other vendors was amazing.
the new features that Wiz deploying to the product is very fast.
Customer support (specialy the tech sales team ) are top in compare to other vendors as well.

What do you dislike about the product?

Only thing i can think about is adding more exclusions capabilities to the Issues and Policies for K8s.
Granularity is very important on large scale of deployments.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main issue that Wiz solve was getting clear visability for all the cloud environment + having the ability to check and handle the most important issues .

What do you like best about the product?

Having used many other CSPM and CNAPP tools, I've found Wiz to be by far the best. It is incredibly easy to use and provides a great amount of detail - we have teams using Wiz just to understand our environments better, regardless of the security findings (which are also incredibly rich). I'm in the tool daily, for all manner of reasons - inventory, security findings, end of life technologies, compliance reporting, absolutely all sorts.

Implementation was a breeze, including integrations with Jira which we use for ticketing - unlike many of the competitors the integration is way more developed so we can get issues to our teams much quicker and in a reliable way.

Customer support has been fantastic, with dedicated resource as well as an easy to use support portal.

What do you dislike about the product?

It does feel like Wiz has expanded very quickly so it sometimes feels like parts are a little disjointed. The querying is very powerful but sometimes when you have results in a table there are quality of life items missing - for example you can only sort by specific fields, even though you have many columns available.

They have also been changing the licensing model recently which has been quite disappointing - previously as an Advanced customer we had access to everything, but now there are a number of add-ons. Even more disappointingly, this wasn't for new features but some features were taken from our license and added to an add-on.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wiz covers our cloud estate and ensures we have visibility of the risks in it - whether that's misconfigurations, vulnerabilities or data findings. This helps us to remediate and fix these risks. We also use Wiz for shifting left in our SDLC.
