What do you like best about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had a really good experience and are a happy customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Wiz for the following:

What do you like best about Wiz?

Using Wiz you can focus on the most important vulnerabilities, those that are exposed to Internet and have an exploit in the wild. And you can do that with only few clicks using Graph Explorer.

With Graph Explorer you can see the all your Cloud assets and their relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

You can't see the firewall rules defined in your Cloud applied on the Graph Explorer. You only see if the network routing is possible. And I have to check if the WAF's policies is now visible. When you have a vulnerability in a Pod and if the Pod is exposed to Interneet through a Load Balancer, the Dynamic Scanner shloud be able to check if that vulnerability is mitigated by a WAF policy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wiz is Multi-Cloud. We have many Clouds as GCP, AWS, Azure and OCI, and with one only product you can see your Securiry Posture in all them Clouds. And is Easy, the deployment, the user interface, all it's easy! You can focus to solve the security problems, you don't waste your time with dealing with many tools to do the same work.

What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz has been a game-changer for our hospital's cloud security strategy. Its comprehensive visibility, real-time alerting capabilities, and user-friendly interface have markedly improved our ability to secure our cloud infrastructure. The transition from our previous Prisma solution was smooth, and the ongoing enhancements, such as the ServiceNow integration, continue to add value. I highly recommend Wiz to organizations looking to streamline their cloud security operations without sacrificing depth or quality in their monitoring and response processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

At this current moment, It's hard to think of anything that Wiz needed to improve on. It has everything we need to monitor and investigate our cloud infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wiz is solving the challenges of fragmented monitoring, inefficient alerting, complex vulnerability management, and poor usability. These improvements have not only streamlined our security operations but also enhanced our ability to safeguard our cloud environment more proactively and efficiently.

What do you like best about Wiz?

Features that I like are:

You can view all security and vulnerabilities on a single or create views with a subset of devices and grant access to specific devices based on role or department.

I love how each detection or issue provides visual representation of the attack path, full write up of what the vulnerability is and methods for remediation.

I love the online community and all the information it provides.

Setup was very simple and quick.

Our entire systems team has really grown to love the platform, making use of it daily.

Ultimately, the tool has left our cloud environment in a more secure place than when we started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

I feel that any automated remediation is still in its infancy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organization has had explosive growth in our cloud environment in the last year. Often times, the rate of this growth allows for security to take a back seat to meet the needs of the organization. Wiz has brought visibility to these misconfigurations. At the end of the day, the entire IT department sleeps a little better knowing we are in a more secure place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wiz?

It does exactly what it promises to do. Simple and agentless to set up and integrate, zero operational impact when using it, amazing metrics out of the box and all issues found are explained well and concisly, allowing any secureity team member to use the info effectively. Also, it is continually being improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

Amazingly, I've had no negative experiences about the product or the service. It just works. If I had to dig deep to find something, I'd say that there is lot to navigate to in the portal, however, this just means there is something for everyone on the security team in there - from 50,000 foot view metrics to the nitty gritty details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visibility of our entire cloud estate with real-time, continuous moniting of the overall security and compliane status. It enables us to address one of the top cyber-risks, 'Cloud configuration'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- CI/CD scanner

- Frequent release of new features

- Flexible license policy

- Very quick and responsive support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit of inflexibility in licensing. It's not possible to use underused workload licenses for the Wiz Code, but it's all according to the T&C. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz solving and how is that benefiting you?

The list of problems we solved with Wiz.io:

- Automated detection of misconfigurations in AWS to identify risks early.

- Context-aware vulnerability detection and prioritization based on exploitability, exposure, and impact, ensuring you focus on the most critical risks.

What do you like best about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz gave us a single pane of glass for cloud security .

This agentless and mostly hassle-free onboarding presented us a impressive cloud scanning and instant visibility.

We undeerstood along the way with Wiz platform that In cloud security, not every alert is an actual issue, and being able to tune out low/none-risk findings without losing visibility is priceless.

This is where we stopped chasing shadows and start fixing real vulnerabilities

Wiz allow us to beef up on code security, runtime scanning and live alerting all consdlidated to a single platform

at last their docuemtnation is amazing, all the menus and views and settings are explained from top to bottom which allow us to be self paced in learning how to use the platform best Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

not such a drawback but a scope of work not fully present in the begininng

wiz is a high velocity evolving product, constantnly changes fixes and new add ons/features

requries us to keep track all the time on their release notes updates just to understand what changed or should have fixed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wiz gives me the confidence that I’m seeing everything in one place—misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identity risks, and compliance gaps. It cuts through the noise and lets me focus on what truly needs fixing, making my job more strategic and less about chasing endless alerts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wiz?

I love that the product goes deeper into insights, our company used Prisma Cloud before switching to WIZ and the level of detail we got out of WIZ verse Prisma was significantly greater. We also can set policies we follow, along with custom compliance policies. Also, the ability to be able to deploy to all our environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

What I dislike about WIZ is the fact that you can’t dismiss an alert if it is a false positive, you can only ignore it. I also don’t like they keep building out these cool products and putting them in preview mode for everyone then come back and charge an arm and a leg for it. Our company sets budgets for the year so having to try and justify why we need to add an additional license has made us say no to certain parts of their new licensing model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz solving and how is that benefiting you?

WIZ has helped us address security vulnerabilities, enhance our data management, and provide seamless integration with all our applications. It has benefited myself in being about to safeguard our data and provide the ability to get teams who were not looking at their cloud vulnerabilities to be more on top of making sure their vulnerabilities are remediated correctly.
