"Quick Implementation and Value Recognition"
What do you like best about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

Although easy to implement and use, there is some tuning required to ensure that the observations are accurate, at least in our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wiz is the cloud security tool that just keeps giving..."
What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz is the market leader and has been for years. This means they could just sit back and enjoy the profits of their labor. However, that is not their approach. We still have regular calls with our Wiz success team and they go over monthly new features. They add features that we need like we are their only customer. It is incredible how much R&D they have. From CSPM, to DSPM. etc. I usually prefer to have separate, best of breed tools for each of these but with Wiz, they have proven me wrong. They are able to integrate each of these critical security capabilities into a single framwork that helps us scan our configurations, data types, user access, etc all in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

There are always downsides to every tool. While I am not in the tool daily as much as the engineers, I do notice that the search and report/export features sometimes is confusing, due to the granular features. I would like to sometimes search via user or host name and you might be forced to use IP or vice versa. However, since they deploy GUI and feature updates on a monthly or more frequent basis, this will likely be resolved soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wiz was made with the engineer in mind"
What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz is very intuitive and easy to deploy. With their initial serverless deployment architecture you immediately get immense insight into the vulnerabilities and risks across your cloud and container assets. Their kubernetes integration also is easy to deploy and collects information and greater detail about your systems. The documentation and support staff are both very easy to work with. Compared to other cloud security products, being able to extract the needed information and know what needs to be fixed is very intuitive and flexible and does not require and complex propriatory query language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

I wish there were more automated remediation mechanisms for some of the rules and integrations that prevent certain configurations similar to how AWS SCPs work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"How Wiz Transformed Our Cloud Security Posture"
What do you like best about Wiz?

Our company manages multiple landing zones across various cloud providers. Additionally, numerous teams work on projects spanning different sizes and technologies.

Wiz has been instrumental in helping us monitor, detect, and correct deployment deviations and obsolete resources. Today, it enables us to demonstrate compliance with industry frameworks.

Furthermore, Wiz's user-friendly interface and SaaS-based operation have significantly enhanced our overall experience. We were able to easily deploy Wiz using Terraform and manage 100% of its configuration through code. Whenever we needed assistance, their support team was always there to help. Now,

Wiz serves as our central command center for cloud security, which we consult daily. To ensure the compliance of all our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments, we've integrated Wiz into our CI/CD pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

Wiz provides comprehensive visibility into the cloud environment. Its querying interface offers the potential to extract valuable information, but mastering it requires significant time investment.

Overall, dedicated team training is essential for effectively utilizing the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick to implement, solves the problem"
What do you like best about Wiz?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

Not much, it's expensive but probably no more than it's competitors and they're willing to negotiate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wiz makes cloud security easy to digest"
What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz takes the context of the workload into account when determining criticality. This lets us focus our efforts on the areas of biggest impact first. They've developed new and useful features at a blazing pace and respond to customer feedback. We pointed out that a development package we were using wasn't being detected during our initial Proof of Concept and they added support for it within a week. They also have an excellent API and CLI that we have integrated into our development pipelines for custom workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

There is a lot of information available in the portal and can be overwhelming to new users. It is important to create custom dashboards to scope the necessary information for specific teams/workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wiz has greatly enhanced our infrastructure's security with its excellent visual dashboard, support."
What do you like best about Wiz?

1. Visual Dashboard: The visual board provided by Wiz is exceptional. It allows us to see all issues and vulnerabilities across our AWS and Azure platforms at a glance. This intuitive visualization has been crucial for quickly identifying and prioritizing issues.

2. Vulnerability Resolution: During our use of Wiz, we identified 17 critical and 36 high vulnerabilities within our system. Thanks to Wiz's detailed insights and actionable recommendations, we have successfully resolved all these vulnerabilities. As a result, our resistance to malicious attacks has improved significantly.

3. Support and Flexibility: The support and flexibility of the Wiz product are top-notch. From day one, the Wiz team introduced their product and the tools they offer to scan our system. As a Senior Cloud Engineer, I frequently reached out to Wiz support via email, and they consistently provided timely and helpful responses to resolve any issues I encountered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

1. Unified Solutions: Some issues came with generic solution options instead of personalized ones.

2. Lack of Quick Scan Option: After fixing platform issues, there is no option for a quick scan of the system in the Wiz board. Scanning goes once in a day. And not twice. There is no option to customize timeline.

3. Customer Support Options: There is no call line or live chat for customer support, which is not a significant problem but could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wiz stands out amongst the others"
What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz stands out in the crowded CNAAP and CSPM market due to its innovative graph-based approach to security, ruthless prioritization of critical risks, and ability to provide comprehensive visibility across numerous cloud environments. Not only do these key features allow us to identify and remediate vulnerabilities more efficiently than with traditional tools, but Wiz's agentless architecture and intuitive interface make it remarkably easy to deploy and manage across our complex infrastructure. Within a short time frame, we achieved full visibility without any operational overhead, allowing our security team to quickly identify critical vulnerabilities and address them promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

The are a little slow in adding support for new compliance frameowkrs. Even though adding support for new compliance frameworks takes time, Wiz's commitment to providing top-notch support once it's available demonstrates their dedication to meeting our evolving needs.
