Game Changer for Cloud Asset; Cloud Application & Cloud Workload Protection
What do you like best about the product?
Relatively easy to deploy; smart user - friendly interface; scales easily across mutlicloud environments and agently deployment makes it ideal for easy rollout across any environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bundled pricing can be trickly to estimate and forecast especially in high growth infrastructure environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz gives us visibility into our cloud assets (applications, workloads) across multiple environments - primarily AWS and GCP in our case. We are able to quickly identity risks, vulnerabilities, etc. to understand our security posture, however the real sweet spot for Wiz is its ability to bring context into the decision making process. It considers what vulnerabilities, configurations or issues make up 'toxic combinations' i.e., areas of most importance and adverse impact.
Being able to provide vulnerability & configuration management based on priority saves time end effort.
The automated remediation process & system integrations (integration into our CICD process) are the most exciting feature about Wiz providing real time insights as applications are progressed from development to production environments.

A Single Pane of Glass for our GCP Security Needs
What do you like best about the product?
Wiz provides incredible coverage across our cloud environments. The inclusion of raw logs and the ability to search and write custom threat detection rules against these logs saves us from having to send them to a SIEM/Data Warehouse, normalize them, and build detections against them. Additionally, the hundreds or thousands of threat detection rules included in Wiz are overall very high quality and provide a huge degree of coverage on top of the dozens of custom company-specific rules we've created.
Wiz regularly releases useful new features and integrations and the level of support we have received has generally been top-tier. The detailed system activity log and audit logs also increase our confidence that we will be able to view any actions taken inside of our Wiz console - either from our own users or from Wiz.
Onboarding Wiz was a breeze and their documentation is excellent and covers the vast majority of questions that have come up during our usage of the product.

What do you dislike about the product?
To date, we haven't had any major issues using Wiz. Their usage licensing model means as you scale up your compute and data resources, you will necessarily increase your utilization (and therefore cost), but I appreciate all the tooling they include to help you both visualize, calculate, and fine tune your utilization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* Centralizing all of our security logs from cloud providers
* Providing coverage via Threat Detection Rules
* Helping us identify misconfigurations in our cloud platforms
* Helping us cut costs by identifying assets that are oversized or unused
* Integrating with third-party tooling (Google Workspace, Github, etc)
* Easily integrated with other tools

What do you dislike about the product?
In complex scenarios, sometimes, it is difficult to determine why an alert is high or critical. There are many factors that determine the severity, and sometimes it is not clear what is the root cause.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz has helped us gain a unique and comprehensive view of our company's security posture. Integrating AWS, GCP, and Azure into a single dashboard has been incredible.
The Best Cloud Security Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use user-interface
Easy to get access to customer support
The constant release of new features to add to an already broad feature set
The attack path mapping creates a contextual view beyond that of cloud native security services such as AWS Inspector/Security hub.

Wiz helped us solve multiple challenges and has identified multiple ongoing risks in our cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to detect vulnerabilities without network scanning. How it portrays our cloud network environment and shows the exposure points.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it did a better job at network threat detection. It mostly focuses on workload threat detection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz helped us solve the problem of detecting vulnerabilities in a poorly architected cloud environment with overlapping subnets and inconsistent network reachability.
The best cloud security tool so far
What do you like best about the product?
The comprehensive UI and extensive security features are really waht differentiates from other tools
What do you dislike about the product?
The Infrastructure as Code findings do not have a direct integration button with ITSM tools like Jira.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our exposure management in the cloud was not the best until we started using Wiz. It collects information about all the exposed assets and creates an attach path graph that details perfectly the possible impact of the exposure.
Wiz Review - Nearly 1 Year In
What do you like best about the product?
The data and presentation of it. This allows our team to enable the development and devops teams to follow along and move closer to self service with Security curating the path.
What do you dislike about the product?
The available auto-remediation list could be larger and it would be great if there was more on the prevention side (CDR), greater DSPM capability. We are looking at more told to go deeper here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More of a centralized security view related to the cloud. Enablement of cross team security efforts.
Helps us consolidate and manage information and risks, dividing them between VPCs and business units
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of Wiz is that it keeps information up to date without needing to perform scans or schedule maintenance windows. It provides a fresh snapshot of our vulnerability metrics. It also helps us make decisions on improvements, maintenance, or updates for our systems. Regarding compliance and governance, Wiz streamlines our vulnerability management to meet specific needs effectively.
What needs improvement?
The reporting should be improved because until a few months ago, the reports were only in CSV format, which made it difficult to clean up. Wiz tried to improve the reporting process, but it's not as valuable as Tenable.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience of using Wiz for more than a year.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Wiz was quite scalable and easy to manage initially. However, as the solution became more costly with our growth, it posed some challenges. We had to work on managing costs and scaling according to our needs, which required some effort, but we were able to find a balance in terms of pricing and performance.
How are customer service and support?
It is difficult to get in touch with them initially. We had to get in touch every for our queries related to AWS and GCP marketplaces. However, once you need to discuss numbers, they are very responsive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have worked with Tenable and Qualys. Wiz stands out in deployment ease and resource consumption compared to Qualys or Tenable. Its simplified processes and snapshot features make it a preferred choice.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy. We need to key details, therefore setting up Wiz very easily. It’s easier than Tenable, which requires deploying infrastructure and handling the associated costs. Deploying Wiz took about one month due to our multi-cloud services, but the main cloud service took less than a week.
Wiz requires no maintenance since it is a SaaS, but if we need to deploy a new service or have any issues, the technical support is really helpful without additional costs. Once integrated, it is very easy to maintain.
What about the implementation team?
We took help from an external account manager and a technical account manager from Wiz. Our team consisted of three people: a DevOps engineer, a TechOps engineer, and the person responsible for the implementation.
What was our ROI?
Using Wiz has significantly reduced our costs compared to having three separate solutions. We estimate a cost reduction of around 35% to 50%, or even more, due to consolidating our security management into one platform. This operational impact has been one of the most significant benefits we've experienced with Wiz.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz.
What other advice do I have?
I'd recommend Wiz, especially if reporting improvements are made. I rate Wiz an episode ght out of ten primarily due to reporting challenges.
