Wiz is used for our cloud security. Whenever resources are deployed within QA or production, Wiz will scan and identify vulnerabilities for us to report and respond to. It's great because it provides us with metrics on what issues have been and what has been fixed over time. This is mainly for cloud environments.
Pros
User friendly with navigation.
Gives breakdown of the issue and recommendations to fix.
Has nice dashboards for visibility.
Cons
Be able to see what changes were made with CIS compliance.
Click into the chart showing changes made over time.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

We use Wiz for Cloud Security Posture Management of our multi-cloud environments. We rely on Wiz for not only getting insights into misconfigured security issues in our environments, but also for understanding the latest vulnerabilities from Wiz's threat intel. This helps us identify threats and services affected by them in our organization, and allows us to quickly export reports and send communications out to teams swiftly to perform remediation accordingly to Wiz's vulnerability report.
Pros
Multi-cloud: Ability of Wiz to integrate with all of our cloud platforms makes it easy to deploy and centralizes our insights into all environments
UI/UX: Wiz's UI is one of, if not -- the best UI I have ever used in a security application. Wiz is able to make it easy to follow and use the application to simplify the normally overcomplicated process of parsing through security information and tools.
Marketing: Hosting meetups such as Wizdom has demonstrated Wiz's investment into its customers by providing us with more encouragement to use the app. The merch, ads, and presentation are above and beyond many companies in the tech industry.
Threat Intel: We rely on Wiz for the latest finds in vulnerabilities across all platforms, and since it is incorporated into the application, it makes this easy and fast to push out necessary steps without going through multiple layers of communication between vendors, cyber governance, security analysts, and developers.
Cons
Real time scanning/reportng: Ability to provide real-time monitoring of multi-cloud environments
Likelihood to Recommend
I would say Wiz is best suited for organizations developing in multi-cloud environments. Wiz UI/UX makes it very easy to integrate, use, and teach. The application oversimplifies many tedious processes when it comes to monitoring security across many different layers and tools. Like mentioned, real-time scanning would be a great addition to the application (although I can see it may be quite difficult). I believe in organizations utilizing a single CSP structure may rather use that platform's native in-house services for security monitoring.

We use Wiz to monitor our AWS environment for misconfiguration, threats, irregular activity, changes in posture and user activity. In addition we rely on Wiz findings to optimize our compliance posture and make sure that we continue to maintain a strong and manageable security operation. Wiz is our go-to tool and every day starts with a review of the Wiz dashboards.
Pros
Analyze and alert about system misconfiguration
Identify sensitive data that is stroed on our system
Create a risk mapping that takes into account not only one parameter but the entire risk scope e.g an exposed server + it is housing sensitive data AND it has a known and exploitable vulnerability
Dashboards to consolidate the findings
Cons
We would like to see more system events such as cloudtrail events in Wiz, the current set of events is very limited and missing many key events
Mobile app
Likelihood to Recommend
Wiz is great when you are looking to get both high level AND in depth visibility into your system configuration and risks, the system usability is second to none, the UI is simple, support is great and they keep adding useful features to the system. Wiz is less of a fit when it comes to investigations given the limited set of events it collects from audit logs
Wiz offers a comprehensive view of our cloud infrastructure through a unified interface. We utilize Wiz Cloud, Code, Sensor, and Defend to mitigate a variety of risks. These include the exposure of sensitive data, whether public or private within our network, vulnerabilities and outdated technologies, misconfigurations, malware, suspicious activities, and more.
Pros
Contextualizing risks
Eliminating isolated solutions
Restricting user access to view only the resources they manage
Cons
Better Project management - more options to group resources to a project when subscriptions is shared but resources are not tagged
Better way to tag in Wiz
Exception Management - Ability to track exception numbers submitted for resources and issues and bi-directional status updates (ServiceNow)
Likelihood to Recommend
Wiz is way ahead of each security domains than other vendors. Wiz integrates well and their roadmap is never ending with quick implementation.

We user it for Cloud Compliance, we monitor our score and try to evaluate the security controls to our baseline score. We also use the DataSecurity and External Exposure boards on a daily basis, and keep track of any alerts as they come in and reach out to the product team owners.
Pros
Data Security Posture Management
Separate scope by projects
And Vulnerability identification
Cons
Wiz does not store teh resolved date, which makes it harder for teams to run reports
There is no visibility into MTTR metrics or MTTD
Would love to see Wiz do automated metrics system
Likelihood to Recommend
The TAM's are really helpful, and they take the time out to really understand what you are trying to solve and help us out with building queries or resolve an error. And the DSPM feature is very helpful in my experience, I usually use the JSON tab to see if there are any firewall rules for that, instead of going the long route and checking in Azure. And also the GRAPHs that Wiz provides are quite helpful to get a clearer visibility into what we are looking at.

We use Wiz to get a visibility over our cloud assets and define the gaps, risks, vulnerabilities, configuration drifts, Kubernetes security, secrets, Data Security, and a lot more. Wiz is an overall CSPM product that helps us define and point out the risk that we have as well as gain an overall visibility over all our cloud assets.
Pros
Cloud Configuration benchmarks
KSPM
DSPM
Container Security
Data visibility
Cons
Container Vulnerability
API Security
AI Security

Wiz is the best out of box CNAPP/CSPM tool thats currently on the market.
We currently use Wiz primarily as a Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool to secure our cloud environments. We currently have the majority of our cloud infrastructure in the GCP environment, but also have some other resources in Azure and AWS. The primary reason for using Wiz is for our Platsec and SOC teams to monitor the threats and risks. Based on that, they reach out to the application teams for remediating those vulnerabilities and set up policies to alert them of any critical vulnerabilities. I believe without Wiz, our organization would be blind to some of the very crucial vulnerabilities, as we have thousands of projects on our cloud environment, which makes it impossible to track without Wiz.
Pros
Vulnerability scanning and remediation.
Reports.
Documentation on all the integrations.
Cons
Wiz sensor improvements.
Automation use cases for specific tasks based on organization needs.
AI use more better searching.

We use Wiz for cloud vulnerability management, security detections, identifying misconfigurations, and aligning ourselves with our security frameworks. The business problems we aim to address are secure cloud configuration and vulnerability management. Being in the cloud, it is essential to identify all potential security gaps, misconfigurations, and issues that could compromise the environment.
Pros
Vulnerability Management.
Cloud Configuration.
Data Findings.
Cloud Exposure.
Compliance Posture.
Reporting
Cons
Jira Ticketing - I would like tickets for specific findings not just issues.
Quick and easy to use resource/asset Inventory.
More detailed attack path analysis.
Navigation is already great, but it is easy to get lost.
Likelihood to Recommend
Wiz does cloud security extremely well. We are able to efficiently work towards remediating vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other security issues. My primary concern is how tickets are created and to whom they are assigned. I would like to see a more granular approach to ticketing, rather than blanket coverage for an issue. I prefer to assign findings internally through our ticketing system; however, there is no option to create a ticket for a finding.
