Setting the Standard for cloud security products.
What do you like best about the product?
After more then 2 years of managing and deploying Wiz platform on our company i can say that this is one of the best in class cloud security products .
Integration and ease of total implementation compare to other vendors was amazing.
the new features that Wiz deploying to the product is very fast.
Customer support (specialy the tech sales team ) are top in compare to other vendors as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing i can think about is adding more exclusions capabilities to the Issues and Policies for K8s.
Granularity is very important on large scale of deployments.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main issue that Wiz solve was getting clear visability for all the cloud environment + having the ability to check and handle the most important issues .
Wiz - much better than the rest!
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.

What problems is the product 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 of WIZ
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Massive Improvement Over PrismaCloud – Easy to Use & Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Migrating from PrismaCloud to Wiz was a game-changer for us. The implementation was incredibly smooth—even without dedicated security engineers on my team. Wiz is intuitive, easy to use, and provides deep visibility into our environment. The data discovery capabilities have been a huge benefit, helping us quickly identify sensitive data exposure and mitigate risks. The platform also excels at detecting lateral movements, uncovering secrets, and strengthening our overall security posture.
The customer support has been outstanding, and our account executive, along with our SA, made the entire process seamless. We rely on Wiz daily, and it has made a significant impact on our security operations.

What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, Wiz had a simple pricing model with one SKU that included everything, which made budgeting straightforward. However, their shift to multiple SKUs has complicated planning and made securing additional funding more challenging. I’d prefer if they kept the original model for better transparency and ease of purchase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz is helping us gain deep visibility into our cloud environment, making it much easier to identify risks and security gaps. One of the biggest benefits has been data discovery, which allows us to quickly locate sensitive data exposure and take action before it becomes a problem. Additionally, Wiz helps us detect lateral movements, uncover secrets, and spot misconfigurations that could lead to potential security threats.
Quick Implementation and Value Recognition
What do you like best about the product?
As an Executive Sponsor, I like how easy it was to implement Wiz in our environment and how we were quickly able to recognize value from the investment by leveraging Wiz to help us prioritize areas of risk reduction.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although easy to implement and use, there is some tuning required to ensure that the observations are accurate, at least in our environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz helps us have visibility on our cloud infrastructure and identifies incorrect or potentially dangerous configurations. It helps us to prioritize risk reduction opportunities and operations. One could argue that Wiz helps us to reduce our attack surface by pointing out these misconfigurations and potential vulnerabilities.
Wiz is the best choice if you don't have the budget to have a cybersecurity expert
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of the initial setup, we have our infrastructure on AWS.
The clarity of the risk recommendations
The very well designed user interface

What do you dislike about the product?
I was not able to configure SSO access even after following the detailed instructions. But that's a minor detail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have the equivalent of a pentest launched daily by a specialist. This gives us confidence in the security of our systems.
Quick to implement, solves the problem
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Wiz Essentials for about a year now and it's proving one of those rare security products that genuinely solves a problem rather than just creating new ones. It's quick to implement, simple to use, doesn't require security specialists or need the team to go on endless training courses to master and makes the vulnerability management problem actually manageable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, it's expensive but probably no more than it's competitors and they're willing to negotiate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It turns a very long list of CVE's into a manageable, prioritised list of issues that present real risk to be addressed.
From Rapid7 to Wiz
What do you like best about the product?
Wiz has a rich list of integrations with all of our different cloud and coding platforms. Furthermore, the attack path visualization features are an innovative approach to adding context to any and all vulnerabilities. Additionally, Wiz has been extremely easy to implement compared to our previous Rapid7 solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the licensing model to be a bit convoluted compared to previous experiences.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A major initiative for our firm continues to be further cloud adoption and Wiz has been a major help when it comes to securing that vision.
Wiz has been a substaintial upgrade from PrismaCloud for us
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of install
UI and overall usability
Power user options, very powerful under the hood
Surfaces lots of actionable insights and hides away alot of the noise

What do you dislike about the product?
We've found minimal negatives so far.
Licencing is becoming more fragmented but overall pretty good.
Wiz Defend and Wiz Code are both excellent but licencing requirements prevented us from purchasing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz helps us bring our software engineers along on our security evolution, allowing our Security Team more time for focus on big problems.
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.
