Overall Satisfaction with Wiz

We use Wiz to make our cloud safer. It helps us find and fix problems like weak passwords, open ports, and bad settings. Wiz watches our cloud 24/7 and can even fix some problems itself.We use Wiz to:
Find all our cloud stuff: It helps us see what we have in the cloud, like servers, databases, and networks.
Find the bad stuff: Wiz looks for things that could be dangerous, like weak passwords or open doors for hackers.
Fix the bad stuff: Wiz can fix many problems itself, so we don't have to do it manually.
Follow the rules: Wiz helps us make sure we follow the rules for security.
Stop bad things from happening: Wiz helps us find and fix problems before they become big issues.
With Wiz, we can use the cloud faster and safer.

Pros

  • Installation is very straightforward, up and running within a day with real insights. Integration with multiple tenants or platforms gives a consolidated view of the environent.
  • The dasboards caipabilities are great
  • Wiz collects data on multiple facets - IAM, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, API security and more. You can view your data in different ways, so you can focus on the areas that are most important to you. For example, you can view your data by account, by risk type, or by severity and of course look at individual facets or multiple.

Cons

  • 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.
  • Wiz has saved us a lot of money and headaches. It finds problems we didn't even know we had, like weak passwords and open ports. This helps us fix things before hackers can find them. It's like having a team of security experts working 24/7.
  • Plus, Wiz can fix some problems itself, saving us time and money. It's a great investment for our business.
  • Wiz has made our cloud much safer. It helps us find and fix problems quickly, which means we can focus on our core business. It's like having an extra layer of protection for our data and systems.
Wiz is a valuable tool for enhancing cloud security. It excels at identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities, making it easier to address potential threats. However, the interface can be somewhat complex, particularly for less technical users. Despite this, the automation features and comprehensive reporting capabilities make it a powerful tool for security teams.

Wiz is great for companies with complex cloud environments. It's really good at finding security problems that are hard to see. It's also helpful for teams that don't have a lot of security experts.However, Wiz might not be the best choice for very simple cloud setups. If you have a small, basic cloud environment, you might not need all the advanced features that Wiz offers.
