"Sexy Security Graph Makes Integration Effortless"

4/5

"Quick setup, fast value, clear visibility, and actionable cloud security."

5/5

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.

"Great tools and exceptional onboarding!"

5/5

What do you like best about Wiz?

We had a very smooth experience and easy implementation process, starting from the initial contact up, through understanding our needs, up to configuring the services to adress exactly the specific needs that we had.

We had a really good experience and are a happy customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Detecting attack vectors on infrastructure. Daily scan allows us to fix possible misconfigurations in infrastructure

- Compliance posture on infrastructure - help us to be compliant with ISO and SOC2

- SBOM - gives us insight on legal issues with licenses of software libraries we use to prevent possible lawsuits

- Scanning our code and finding vulnerabilities in components we use. Software Component Analysis - which is prerequisite for implementing Secure Software Supply Chain - slsa.dev

- Finding hardcoded secrets in our code

- Detecting misconfigurations in virtual machines

- Finding misconfigurations on kubernetes clusters Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"With Wiz you got it!"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
