Wiz Runtime Sensor

What do you like best about the product?

I like best about wiz is its agentless architecture and instant visibility. Wiz connects directly through cloud APIs and starts discovering misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and identity risks almost immediately.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some advanced features may require deeper technical knowledge to configure properly. Also the initial permissions setup for scanning can be a bit tricky if you are new to cloud security

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

Wiz has helped us identify security gaps and misconfigurations that traditional tools miss.

What do you like best about the product?

Wiz stands out for its clear visibility across cloud environments. I like how quickly it highlights risks without forcing me to dig through endless dashboards. The interface feels intuitive, and it connects security findings directly to what matters most, which saves a lot of time. It also integrates smoothly with different cloud platforms, so I don’t have to jump between tools.

What do you dislike about the product?

While Wiz offers impressive capabilities, there are times when the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming, particularly for those who are new to cloud security. Some alerts would benefit from more precise tuning to help minimize unnecessary noise. The platform is making steady improvements, but I would appreciate quicker response times when working with large environments.

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

Wiz enables us to effectively manage cloud security risks that would otherwise be difficult to identify manually. Rather than spending countless hours trying to connect the dots ourselves, the platform provides a comprehensive view of misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues across all our environments.

The most significant advantage is the time we save—we're able to quickly focus on the most important issues and cut down on unnecessary distractions. Additionally, Wiz enhances collaboration between our security and DevOps teams, as everyone has access to the same findings and can respond more efficiently. In summary, Wiz simplifies the process of maintaining a robust security posture without hindering business operations.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like best about Wiz is its clear visibility across our entire cloud environment without requiring agents. The platform maps risks end-to-end — from infrastructure misconfigurations to vulnerabilities, secrets, and compliance gaps — in a single dashboard.

For SecOps, it’s extremely valuable that Wiz prioritizes issues by context (e.g., exposed to the internet, contains sensitive data, exploitable path), so we don’t waste time chasing noise. Integrations with existing workflows (SIEM, ticketing, etc.) make it easy to operationalize findings.

From an admin perspective, the ease of deployment and scalability stand out. It’s quick to onboard new accounts, and visibility is almost immediate, which is rare in this space.

What do you dislike about the product?

What I dislike about Wiz is that the platform is not yet truly unified in management. With the number of products and capabilities they’ve added, it feels like they could be consolidated better — today it’s more like managing three different consoles instead of a single pane of glass.

The DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) capabilities are promising but still relatively immature compared to Wiz’s core strengths. Coverage is not as deep as I’d like, and it still needs more development to give us the same confidence we have with vulnerability and misconfiguration findings.

In addition, the volume of findings can be overwhelming, especially early on, and it requires tuning and integrations to avoid alert fatigue. Wiz is improving here, but out-of-the-box prioritization can still surface too much noise for smaller teams.

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

Wiz helps us address several critical areas in cloud security, including monitoring and analytics, detection and response, compliance, vulnerability management, exposure management, and DSPM. Providing agentless visibility across our cloud environment eliminates blind spots and gives our SecOps team clear insight into risks and misconfigurations.
Its cloud detection and response features stand out because alerts are contextualized, allowing us to focus on real threats instead of noise.
Continuous compliance checks against industry frameworks save significant time during audits, while vulnerability scanning and exposure management prioritize issues based on exploitability and exposure paths, so we can remediate what truly matters first.
The DSPM capabilities are still maturing, but already help us locate sensitive data and highlight where it may be at risk, and help us to map most of our data.

Benefits to Us:

Time savings—Instead of manually correlating risks, Wiz shows the attack path in context, which accelerates the response.
Risk reduction – Prioritized findings ensure our limited SecOps resources focus on the most dangerous issues first.
Audit readiness – Compliance reporting is much faster and less painful.
Operational efficiency – With Wiz’s agentless deployment, onboarding new cloud accounts takes minutes, not days.

What do you like best about the product?

Immediately gained actionable insight into our cloud security posture which was previously considered a 'security black hole'.

The onboarding process was a breeze and the team we are working with know their stuff!

It's very intuitive, even for someone with no prior devsecops experience.

What do you dislike about the product?

Not an issue with Wiz itself but we are still working on buy-in and utilization from all our devs on the Wiz Code component.

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

Lack of visibility into cloud security posture. No dedicated DevSecOps staff.

What do you like best about the product?

Wiz provides comprehensive visibility across AWS without agents (so really easy to get started). The security graph highlights risks by factoring in exposure, lateral movement, known vulnerabilities, so only the most relevant issues surface. This reduces false positives and alert fatigue compared to for example AWS native Security Hub. Dashboards, root cause analysis, and Terraform fix snippets make it engineer-friendly and actionable, not just a compliance tool.

What do you dislike about the product?

The platform can feel overwhelming at first due to the breadth of features and data. Role-based access and project scoping require careful setup to avoid visibility gaps.

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

Wiz solves the lack of visibility across a complex AWS environment. It consolidates security findings, eliminates noise from false positives, and prioritizes risks based on exposure and business impact. This reduces alert fatigue, accelerates remediation, and frees engineers from manual triage. Also supports compliance audits (useful if you have yearly audits), and enables proactive risk reduction.
