AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Fastly Next-Gen WAF excels in "Ease of Setup" with a score of 9.3, making it a preferred choice for teams looking for quick deployment. In contrast, Wiz, while still strong at 9.1, does not match the rapid onboarding experience that Fastly offers.
- Reviewers mention that Wiz shines in "Quality of Support" with a score of 9.2, indicating a more responsive and helpful support team compared to Fastly's score of 8.8. This can be crucial for organizations that require ongoing assistance and guidance.
- G2 users highlight Fastly's "Unified Visibility" feature, scoring 9.1, which provides a comprehensive view of security metrics. Users on G2 appreciate this feature for its ability to streamline monitoring across various platforms, whereas Wiz's visibility features, while good, do not receive the same level of acclaim.
- Reviewers mention that Wiz's "Security Auditing" capabilities are particularly robust, scoring 9.0, which is higher than Fastly's 8.7. This suggests that Wiz may offer more thorough auditing processes, appealing to organizations with stringent compliance requirements.
- Users say that Fastly's "Policy Enforcement" feature, rated at 8.5, is effective but lacks the advanced capabilities found in Wiz, which has a more comprehensive approach to policy management, scoring 9.0. This difference can impact how organizations manage their security policies across different environments.
- Users report that both products have strong "Data Loss Prevention" features, but Wiz's score of 7.7 is on par with Fastly's, indicating that while both solutions are effective, Wiz may offer additional functionalities that enhance its overall effectiveness in preventing data breaches.
