"Unmatched Cloud Visibility and Seamless Jira Integration"
What do you like best about Wiz?

What I like best about Wiz is the insight visibility and overview of issues and vulnerabilities within a cloud environment. Being able to not only track the primary resource of each individual issue but to also be able to view that in a security graph at a very high level. This type of insight capabilities helps users like me understand the full history of the issue as well as the different access points. Also being able to integrate these issues/vulnerabilities directly into Jira for direct progress tracking improves the workflow of solving them within a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

The only downside I have for Wiz is that it can give a ton of information and telemetry on your environment all at once. Which can seem kinda overwhelming when first onboarding Wiz because a user may not know exactly what areas to search for in Wiz, and as a result it can take some time to understand.

"Effortless Inventory and Vulnerability Management with Wiz"
What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz is incredibly easy to use. I find it much simpler to search through all my inventory and vulnerabilities with Wiz, rather than having to sift through countless pages elsewhere.

It includes all the enterprise feature everyone needs.

The customer support is amazing, they reach out to me a lot to make sure we improve our posture and make sure to keep up with best practices.

Implementation and Integration wise it's really easy, you click on few buttons and that's it everything is up and ready inside any cloud, if you have any issue the CS Team will be there to assist.

I'm using Wiz every week for few hours in order to make sure that everything is set up correctly, and there is nothing exposed to vulerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

I honestly can't find anything to dislike about Wiz; it offers everything I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Setup and Actionable Insights with Outstanding Developer Experience"
What do you like best about Wiz?

The agent-less architecture allowed us to get started in just a few hours rather than weeks. There were no complicated deployments or issues with agent sprawl—simply connect your cloud accounts and begin scanning. What truly sets the platform apart is the developer experience. The platform communicates in a way that makes sense to us, providing clear, actionable findings along with meaningful context about why an issue is important and how to address it. The graph-based method for visualizing attack paths is especially impressive. Rather than being overwhelmed by thousands of unrelated vulnerabilities, we can now identify which ones are truly significant based on actual exposure risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

To be honest, there isn't much to criticize. While the pricing may be high for smaller organizations, the extensive coverage and the amount of time saved make the return on investment worthwhile. At first, the number of alerts can feel overwhelming until you adjust the policies to fit your environment, but this is fairly typical for most security tools.

"Essential Cloud Security Platform with Unified Risk Visibility"
What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz has become an essential part of our cloud security operations at BMLL. The platform provides exceptional visibility across our cloud environments, enabling continuous monitoring and proactive risk management. We’ve used Wiz extensively for incident response, vulnerability and patch management, and to conduct gap assessments against industry benchmarks.

The solution’s breadth is impressive — from asset inventory to AI-driven insights, it gives us a single pane of glass to identify and prioritise security issues across our infrastructure. The AI Explorer and inventory capabilities have been particularly useful for uncovering unmanaged or misconfigured assets.

Overall, Wiz has helped us strengthen our security posture, improve compliance alignment, and accelerate remediation through clear, actionable insights.

What do you like best?

The unified view of security risks across multiple cloud accounts and services, combined with clear prioritisation and automation options.

What problems are you solving with Wiz?

We use Wiz for vulnerability and patch management, incident response, continuous compliance monitoring, and visibility into cloud asset inventory. It helps us detect gaps against benchmarks and improve our overall security resilience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

The platform is powerful, but the depth of data can feel overwhelming at first — expect a short learning curve to fully utilise its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wiz Delivers Peace of Mind with Powerful Security Features"
What do you like best about Wiz?

The feature I find most helpful in Wiz is its prioritization capabilities. Additionally, having reliable information about the status of specific resources—such as whether they are publicly exposed or internal—is extremely valuable to us. The platform itself is highly intuitive and easy to use, even for those without a technical background. Its AI capabilities are also useful for finding answers to questions that may not be addressed directly on the dashboard. Integration is straightforward and quick; you can have it up and running within a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

The only thing we do not like about Wiz is the relatively constant updating of the findings risk rating. You go to bed with zero criticals and you wake up in the morning with 10 because of a change in the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Blazing Fast, Intuitive, and Feature-Rich Platform"
What do you like best about Wiz?

What I appreciate most about Wiz is its simplicity and execution speed. Every integration is straightforward, and each action is clearly explained. It's incredibly easy to connect any tool and set up whatever you need. They offer nearly every feature you could think of, and what's missing, they develop at remarkable speed. The design and UI/UX are outstanding - fast, highly interactive, and intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

The main challenge with the platform is the learning curve. There are so many features and topics that it can be difficult to navigate everything at times. It takes time to absorb the amount of information and fully understand the value that Wiz brings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Integration and Outstanding Detection Capabilities with Wiz"
What do you like best about Wiz?

Our experience with Wiz has been overwhelmingly positive. Integrating both our cloud and on-premises environments was straightforward, quick, and efficient, thanks to clear documentation and highly responsive account contacts. In addition to the standard Cloud Provider onboarding, we found it easy to connect our Kubernetes clusters via APIs, a feature we haven’t encountered with other vendors.

Wiz also stood out for its flexibility: by using the CLI, we were able to scan our repositories even without access to the native Repository connector. We successfully onboarded our virtual environment as well, which allowed us to gain insight into on-premises security issues.

One of the platform’s greatest strengths is its interface. Resource discovery happens instantly, the inventory fills rapidly, and projects can be segmented to provide team-specific access. The detection capabilities are exceptional, identifying everything from cloud misconfigurations to sensitive data exposure and new AI-related risks, all with customizable dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

There are a few minor bugs that do not affect the overall functionality of the service, such as issues with the history of the Mika AI assistant. Additionally, project segregation currently does not exclude Entra ID findings that are unrelated to the specific project. However, both of these issues have been addressed.

"Wiz: Fast Deployment, Instant Cloud Security Insights for Azure and AWS"
What do you like best about Wiz?

Wiz is remarkably easy to implement, requiring minimal configuration to start delivering results. Within hours of deployment, it provides deep visibility across cloud environments, including Azure and AWS, without the need for agents or complex integrations. Its intuitive interface and automated risk prioritization make it simple for teams to identify and remediate critical issues quickly. The immediate value lies in its ability to unify security posture management across multiple clouds, helping organizations reduce risk and accelerate compliance from day one.

What I appreciate most about Wiz is how simple it is to integrate with my various cloud providers.

"A Game-Changer for Cloud Security team"
What do you like best about Wiz?

What I like best about Wiz is its clear visibility across our entire cloud environment without requiring agents. The platform maps risks end-to-end — from infrastructure misconfigurations to vulnerabilities, secrets, and compliance gaps — in a single dashboard.

For SecOps, it’s extremely valuable that Wiz prioritizes issues by context (e.g., exposed to the internet, contains sensitive data, exploitable path), so we don’t waste time chasing noise. Integrations with existing workflows (SIEM, ticketing, etc.) make it easy to operationalize findings.

From an admin perspective, the ease of deployment and scalability stand out. It’s quick to onboard new accounts, and visibility is almost immediate, which is rare in this space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wiz?

What I dislike about Wiz is that the platform is not yet truly unified in management. With the number of products and capabilities they’ve added, it feels like they could be consolidated better — today it’s more like managing three different consoles instead of a single pane of glass.

The DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) capabilities are promising but still relatively immature compared to Wiz’s core strengths. Coverage is not as deep as I’d like, and it still needs more development to give us the same confidence we have with vulnerability and misconfiguration findings.

In addition, the volume of findings can be overwhelming, especially early on, and it requires tuning and integrations to avoid alert fatigue. Wiz is improving here, but out-of-the-box prioritization can still surface too much noise for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
