Overall Satisfaction with Wiz
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
- Improved operationalized cloud security: Wiz offers a single pane of glass of visibility into our multi-cloud applications, reducing the operational need to consistently enter different environments to perform security audits and vulnerability assessments. This allows security engineers to spend more time on other objectives while excelling in services offered through Wiz.
- Auditing/Reporting: Wiz makes it easy to export reports, reducing the need for us to consolidate information ourselves to push to necessary contacts for communication, expediting the process in which we remediate vulnerabilities or perform governance.
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.
