Product has grown into an essential part of our Cloud Security
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the ability for us to have our application teams get just the information they needed was why we selected the product. Getting vulnerabilites and misconfigurations to the our applications teams and holding them accountable gives us a very strong cloud security posture - much stronger than our on premise security posture.
We were an early customer of Wiz and they have been very responsive to making improvements based on our feedback. The product has changed considerably and now has more features than we need, instead of not enough. We pay Wiz to be smarter than we are about secure configurations and they have been.

What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing is the first grump but only in that I wish it were less, not that it is excessively pricey. It is competitive with MS Sentinel but I wish it were 1/2 the cost. It's a lot easier to argue against native tools when it is cheaper. Their realtime linux agent isn't near cost competitive for so we can't even consider it.
Wiz does not support on-premise data centers and it would greatly simplify our lives if it did. Everyone at our company prefers our cloud vulnerability and misconfiguration system over our on-premise system by a wide margin.
Every tool that I've seen in this space that attempts to point out overly privileged accounts generates a high noise to signal ratio in a complex environment such as ours. We turn the Wiz IAM rules off to avoid the chatter. If you need a program to manage your identity security and you have a sophisticated environment, I would suggest you look for a sophisticate dedicated IAM tool.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We know that we don't know what we don't know and Wiz fills in that gap for cloud security. It is an essential tool in our cloud security toolkit.
Pushing the responsibility for fixing issues to the application teams works best when the application teams get the right information to identity and fix the issues. Wiz does this for us.
