# Wiz vs Orca Security for a security team evaluating cloud workload protection that wants full coverage without deploying agents on every workload?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Both <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-workload-protection-platforms">Cloud Workload Protection Platforms</a> are agentless-first and provide multi-cloud CNAPP coverage. The honest comparison matters because the differences are real but not always surfaced in vendor-led evaluations.</p><ol>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/wiz-wiz/reviews"><strong>Wiz</strong></a>: Wiz's agentless approach connects to every cloud environment in minutes with no agents required and no production impact, covering elements that traditionally require agents through its agentless architecture. The Security Graph is the core differentiation: instead of flat CVE lists, it maps actual attack paths showing how vulnerabilities, internet exposure, and permissions intersect to form true risks. CSPM, KSPM, CWPP, Vulnerability Management, IaC scanning, CIEM, and DSPM are all consolidated in a single platform. The AI-SPM capabilities discover shadow AI workloads and unmanaged models automatically. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/orca-security/reviews"><strong>Orca Security</strong></a>: Orca's SideScanning™ is patented and provides deep workload visibility by reading encrypted storage snapshots without agents, without touching the workload, and without network traffic interception. Orca treats AI agents, AI services, and model endpoints as first-class attack surface components in its unified data model, not as retrofitted additions. The unified data model means code, cloud, AI services, and AI agents are all part of the same attack surface view. Third-party agents can be integrated for runtime visibility on critical workloads, providing a hybrid model when real-time detection is required. </li>
</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For security teams that have evaluated both Wiz and Orca — what was the deciding factor? Was it the Security Graph depth, the AI-SPM capabilities, the satisfaction with the respective vendor relationships, the agentless technology approach, or the compliance framework coverage that tipped the decision?</p>

This comparison usually comes down to how each defines “coverage.” Both are agentless, but the way they surface risk feels quite different once you go deeper. When you were comparing them, what actually made one feel more complete than the other?
