Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.
Jasmin Surani - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances the overall safety of our company's environment from cyber threats
The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance. The centralized console is a huge advantage, letting me manage everything from one place. It also allows running scripts directly on machines through the portal, making it highly convenient.
Wellington Franham - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced security profiling and predictive analysis in diverse industries
We are a partner and develop Wiz opportunities here in Brazil and Latin America. We already have some customers using Wiz as a DSPM platform. We use it in various industries, like retail, where it is used for security profiling and predictive analysis to identify risks. There is also a global…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"PingSafe can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our security posture."
"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"Atlas security graph is pretty cool. It maps out relationships between components on AWS, like load balancers and servers. This helps visualize potential attack paths and even suggests attack paths a malicious actor might take."
"When creating cloud infrastructure, Cloud Native Security evaluates the cloud security parameters and how they will impact the organization's risk. It lets us know whether our security parameter conforms to international industry standards. It alerts us about anything that increases our risk, so we can address those vulnerabilities and prevent attacks."
"With PingSafe, it's easy to onboard new accounts."
"It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so you're CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some others solutions use between 30 to 60 percent."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"The initial setup is easy ."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"Technical support is helpful."
"We like the solution's management and monitoring tools for our network. We use it to monitor our network between workstations and outside our organization. The AI provides useful visualizations of our network on a dashboard."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."
"The granularity of visibility that the platform provides is the most valuable aspect."
"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."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"Wiz is a very powerful product technologically."
 

Cons

"It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."
"We recently adopted a new ticket management solution, so we've asked them to include a connector to integrate that tool with Cloud Native Security directly. We'd also like to see Cloud Native Security add a scan for personally identifying information. We're looking at other tools for this capability, but having that functionality built into Cloud Native Security would be nice. Monitoring PII data is critical to us as an organization."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."
"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."
"A two-month grace period for extended searches would be a valuable improvement."
"The could improve their mean time to detect."
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"The tool should do some more tests before going for updates automatically."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"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."
"The solution's container security could be improved."
"Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment."
"The reporting should be improved because until a few months ago, the reports were only in CSV format, which made it difficult to clean up. Wiz tried to improve the reporting process, but it's not as valuable as Tenable."
"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."
"The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."
"We are still analyzing its behavior as we are in the midst of the implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We found it to be fine for us. Its price was competitive. It was something we were happy with. We are not a Fortune 500 company, so I do not know how pricing scales at the top end, but for our cloud environment, it works very well."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
"I would rate the cost a seven out of ten with ten being the most costly."
"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"It's an expensive product"
"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
