What do you like best about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

Bundled pricing can be trickly to estimate and forecast especially in high growth infrastructure environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wiz 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

* Flexible and well documented API Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wiz?

The intuitive nature of the tool and its easy use. Due to its powerful engine, it allows you to have a real-time snapshot of the main risks in the Azure environment and, above all, it clearly indicates how to correct them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

Due to its great functionality, it is necessary to spend many hours becoming familiar with the tool to exploit its full potential. They have dedicated a lot to publishing small videos as a guide but it still takes time to know it in detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The migration of the On-prem environment is increasingly necessary and Azure does not offer the visibility that WIZ offers us. The systems and integration area moves much faster than the security area and therefore it takes us longer to identify vulnerabilities and risks that need to be corrected. In this sense, WIZ offers us an immediate position on our environment in terms of security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Wiz?

In the realm of cloud security, finding a tool that combines both power and simplicity is paramount. My favourite tool, Wiz, exemplifies this by offering an exceptional feature known as Security Graphs. This innovative feature sets Wiz apart in the cybersecurity landscape, offering an intuitive yet profoundly effective way to visualize and manage cloud security.

Security Graphs in Wiz are not just a feature; they represent a revolution in how security professionals interact with cloud environments. The ability to write any query in a straightforward manner and instantly receive comprehensive details on all affected cloud services transforms the daunting task of cloud security management into a manageable, even enjoyable, process.

What makes Security Graphs truly powerful is their ability to provide a holistic view of an organization's cloud security posture. By visualizing connections and potential vulnerabilities across all cloud assets, Security Graphs enable rapid identification and mitigation of risks. This not only enhances the security of cloud environments but also significantly reduces the time and effort required to maintain robust security standard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

I don't think so there are any downsides to using WIZ.

Whoever uses it, I am confident, will achieve their own usecases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
