Snyk vs. Wiz

1) SAST Code Scan 2) Infra Code Scan 3) Docker Image Scan 4) SAS solution and provides good integration with various SCMS

Incentivized

Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.

Incentivized

• Integration in CI/CD pipeline.
• Periodic reporting is also an option.
• Clear separation of issues/categories.
• Insightful reasoning for issue and suggested solutions.

• Getting started with Wiz was quick and painless. The onboarding process was well-structured, and their team provided solid support to help us integrate Wiz into our cloud environments with minimal effort. Documentation is clear, and their customer success team is always on hand to help with any questions, making the adoption process seamless
• One of Wiz’s biggest strengths is how clearly it presents security risks. It provides a well organised view of issues, making it easy to see where action is needed. The AI-powered Remediation Wizard is a great feature, offering guided fixes and automation options that speed up resolution, reducing the time spent manually investigating and fixing issues.
• The Wiz interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a big plus when dealing with complex environments. Everything is laid out in a way that makes it simple to drill down into issues

Incentivized

• Setting up is complex and when not do no properly provides too many false positives.
• We use another tool in parallel because it does not cover all of our languages especially for older code that is in mixed languages.
• Integrating it with bitbucket was not straight forward.

Incentivized

• Wiz scanning doesn't detect risks in real time. New sensors are now included and these capabilities are growing. I believe that within a year Wiz will get good real time capabilities
• Wiz can generate a lot of alerts, which can be overwhelming, especially if you have a very dynamic environment. It's important to set up filters so that you only receive alerts for the risks that are most important to you.
• Wiz can improve the way it augments the vulnerability data with additional data on Technologies. It sometimes has missing technologies but updated its inventory as soon as we opened a case on that.

Developer-Centric Design - Snyk integrates directly into IDEs (like VS Code and IntelliJ), CI/CD pipelines, GitHub/GitLab, and container registries. Clear, Actionable Vulnerability report issues are categorized by severity.


Reports include fix recommendations, pull request suggestions, and links to remediation advice.

The UI is very user-friendly, with documentation available on every page of the application. New users can learn about the product features as they navigate through several different pages, using the instructions at the top of each page, making it quite easy to use.

Developer-Centric Design


Snyk integrates seamlessly into the dev workflow (IDEs, Git, CI/CD).


Tools like Veracode/Fortify are security team-centric, with less developer engagement.


Unlike WhiteSource or Sonatype, Snyk has a faster learning curve and actionable fixes.

Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security HUB for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may provide more info and realtime security analysis of its services, but does not scale well with a growing organization looking to leverage amazing tools from other CSPs. Wiz may not have real time analysis or the most relevant vulnerability findings for cloud platforms compared to their native solutions, but Wiz scales extremely well, which in cases is a more valuable asset.

Robots front end API and ment for developer to use

Incentivized

• The API is extensive enough for many integration options.
• API keys are rotated on a non-preferred time schedule. There's no way to configure this.
• We had a great experience with the support team and success managers while setting up the product and onboarding projects into the tool

Incentivized

• We haven't completed a full rollout yet, but the goal is to shift left security to all of our product teams so that security is a shared effort across the organization.
• We want to be able to demonstrate fast remediations, corrective action plans with tangibles from Wiz in response to audits or red team findings.
• We would like to also use information from Wiz to substantiate answers to security questionnaires that customers requires us to fill out in order to do business with them.
