We performed a comparison between Cloudflare and Wiz based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: Cloudflare provides Zero Trustability, load balancing, and DDoS protection, as well as automatic SSL certificate protection and a user-friendly GUI. On the other hand, Wiz prioritizes context and risk prioritization with its Security Graph, which allows for custom reports and pinpointing vulnerabilities. Cloudflare has room for improvement in terms of reporting and support response time, as well as providing more servers for better traffic routing and easier log collection. On the other hand, Wiz needs preventive controls, refined reporting, customizable dashboards, and improved risk assessment.
Service and Support: Cloudflare's technical support could be improved for lower-tier plans, while Wiz's customer service is highly praised with excellent technical support and knowledgeable CSMs. Users rate Wiz's customer support very highly with scores of nine or ten out of ten.
Ease of Deployment: Cloudflare's process is generally quick and stress-free, but may take longer if a lot of equipment is needed. Wiz's deployment was done in partnership with the company and only took a few hours, and was spread across multiple public clouds.
Pricing: Cloudflare has a premium pricing model that ranges from free to $1,500 per month, which is considered expensive by some users. They offer unlimited bandwidth, but some enterprise customers would prefer a custom pricing model. On the other hand, Wiz has fair and simple pricing that is on the higher end of the market. They have specific features for easy selection, but some users are concerned about potential price increases and lack of transparency.
ROI: Cloudflare and Wiz are two tools that have been positively reviewed for their ROI. Cloudflare focuses on website protection and preventing server overload, while Wiz assists with asset management, identifying vulnerabilities, and compliance.
Comparison Results: Wiz is the preferred choice for cloud-based businesses over Cloudflare because of its ability to provide context and prioritize risks in the cloud environment, as well as its combination of cloud security posture management, threat intelligence, and risk prioritization. Cloudflare offers good load balancing and protection against DDoS attacks, but Wiz's focus on cloud security and risk prioritization makes it the better option.
"Generally, I am satisfied with this product."
"The technical support is good."
"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"DDoS attacks target unprotected machines. Cloudflare detects and stops these attacks using internal systems. It identifies incoming DDoS attacks, issuing challenges or blocking them immediately."
"It's very user-friendly."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."
"The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"In the last two years, there has been a certain amount of downtime when using the VDM."
"The solution could use more analytics on the backend to give us more insights into everything. More reports would be helpful."
"I would like Cloudflare to offer a dedicated account manager for large enterprise clients like us."
"The product needs to improve its automation."
"There are some issues with the CDN services."
"Although I think it's quite good, it doesn't provide me with all the features I would expect to have if I were using Imperva."
"Support response time could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The reporting isn't that great. They have executive summaries, but it's only a compliance report that maps all current issues to specific controls. Whether you look at one subscription or project, regardless of the size, you will get a multipage report on how the issues in that account map to that control. Our CSO isn't going to read through that. He won't filter that out or show that to his leadership and say, "Here's what we're doing." It isn't a helpful report. They're working on it, but it's a poor executive summary."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."
"The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
