What do you like best about Wiz?

1- The way Wiz proactively gives us threat info, especially those alerts that come with ready-to-use searches to see if we're affected, has been super helpful for finding and fixing important weaknesses fast. It's now just part of what our security team does every day.

2- The querying in Wiz, based on KQL, is seriously strong and flexible. Being able to create our own specific searches means our team can really dig deep and spot anomalies in our environment that we wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

3- It's cool to see Wiz moving into other areas like Wiz Code and Defend. It shows they're not standing still and could become a central place for all our cloud security tools, which would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

1 - Even though it's mostly comprehensive, the support for Google Cloud isn't quite as good as it is for AWS in some specific things, like how it handles tags and finds leftover domain names. It also feels like when we ask for GCP improvements, they don't always get get the attention they deserve.

2 - Most of the support folks we've dealt with have been fantastic, even helping us with things beyond what we originally asked. But with how fast Wiz is growing, we've noticed a slight dip in how quickly they get back to us sometimes, and the quality of the answers a be a bit hit or miss now and then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Wiz enhances our security posture by providing a valuable complement to our existing tools. Its risk-based approach is particularly beneficial, allowing us to prioritize and address the most critical issues within our cloud environment. Furthermore, we leverage Wiz to streamline our regulatory reporting obligations. The seamless integration with Jira has significantly simplified our workflows, and its connectivity with our XDR and SIEM platforms enables efficient threat identification and triage by our security operations team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz was quick and easy to set up. We found once it was set up there was a quick realization of value with the tool. It integrated quickly and smoothly with our other tools via APIs. The documentation was easy to understand and support was very helpful with guiding us through the entire set up. The interface is nice and clean with an intuitive onboarding guide built into the dashboard. We really like how quickly Wis was able to identify critical risks as well as place prioritization based on impact. This provided actionable insights into the cloud environment we did not have previously. I really like the agentless architecture that keeps things lightweight and easy to adapt the dynamic nature of the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

While Wiz excels in many areas, its pricing can be on the higher side for smaller teams or organizations, and the vast amount of data and alerts can sometimes feel overwhelming without proper tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Wiz solves the tough challenge of getting full visibility across our multiple cloud environments by giving a clear, comprehensive view of all cloud assets and their vulnerabilities. One of its biggest strengths is its agentless approach with no need to install or manage vulnerability agents every time a VM spins up or shuts down. This was a challenge in ensuring every VM had a vulnerability agent on it. It even takes on the issues of serverless infrastructure like Docker and Kubernetes.

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.

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?

Wiz connects to your cloud environment and gives you complete visibility and actionable context on your most critical misconfigurations in real-time, so your teams can proactively and continuously improve your cloud security posture.

The best part about Wiz is that is provides recommendations which can be applied to address the threat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

When I launch Wiz , I can view threats from all the projects . In our organisation we have more than 100 subscripts so it’s cumbersome to filter. Suggest Wiz to build a capability to only display threats related to the project which I am interested in. Like SNYk 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.

Nothing major to call out, may be just further integrations with other security platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
