Collects and stores compliance evidence and documentation for you using native integrations with your tech stack.

There is room for improvement in Drata. The core features are solid, but some new features are in a very MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage. They work, but the user experience isn't always smooth. While the core features are well-developed compared to the market, the new features need more polish. They could benefit from more user feedback and iterations to make them more useful. Some of these new features look promising buthave flaws, so we can’t fully adopt them or justify paying extra for them now. The user interface is clean and intuitive. However, you'll need some specific knowledge if you're a security policy manager or need to set updifferent integrations.

Accelerates decision making and reduces alert fatigue with smart event consolidation

I believe they are on the right path. However, Wiz has a unique way of identifying issues. As part of its growth and maturity, I'm noticing that it is taking an approach where it not only detects problems but also provides solutions to fix them. This expansion into a more comprehensive ecosystem allows it to become a 360-degree product. Instead of just continuously pointing out findings and detections, it starts to integrate with existing solutions, reducing the cycle of repeated issues. We can learn from these mistakes, and ideally, they will only occur once, allowing us to address them effectively. I appreciate the continued growth in this partnership, as it aims to reduce the number of findings over time by tackling the root of the problem. One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks. Ideally, the process would become more automated, allowing us to quickly respond with steps such as: we found an issue, reached out, and fixed it immediately. In cybersecurity, if it takes several hours to address a concern and a human attacker is present, that delay can lead to severe consequences. We need more immediate measures in our response strategies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Drata helps eliminate evidence gathering and makes assigning different activities to different team members easier, simplifying compliance and audit processes. In Pennsylvania, we're putting in thousands of hours. Drata improves our security posture by reducing extra work, allowing us to focus on other security directives. I like the control editing and task management features the most. It's easy to use, but it's also easy for people to think they don't need security experts if they have it."

"Drata helped us publish our ISO and SOC reports, which was essential for the acquisition. The challenge now is whether Drata can scale up to meet the needs of a larger company, which already has tools like Intune to enforce laptop encryption. Drata is excellent for startups and small—to medium-sized companies but may face challenges in larger organizations with multiple environments."

"Drata keeps adding new features, allowing us to build our entire InfoSec program within it. Adding new components and evidence for different audits is easy. Drata also integrates with various software, like ticketing systems, source code control, and cloud platforms, continuously pulling evidence from these integrations. Without a GRC tool with these integrations, we used to gather evidence from different software during audits manually. Drata has a significant impact on our security posture management. Previously, Drata had features for security posture management, primarily through integration with AWS. For example, it would scan AWS for specific security requirements, like ensuring all S3 buckets are private. It will be reported on the Drata platform if it finds a public bucket. Recently, Drata introduced a new feature that uses an infrastructure-as-code approach. This feature detects issues and provides AI-generated suggestions for fixing them. If an organization uses infrastructure-as-code solutions like Terraform, Drata will suggest changes to the Terraform code to address the issues. You can then review and apply these changes to fix the problems. This is particularly useful when dealing with many topics, as it helps automate and speed up the process of implementing fixes. However, this AI-generated code feature is part of Drata’s upsell options. The basic version of Drata offers limited capabilities compared to the advanced features available with a paid upgrade. Even without this new feature, Drata's security posture management is valuable, as it scans cloud environments for deviations from defined security baselines. Many tools offer similar capabilities, but Drata’s new feature that translates issues into actionable fixes is a notable advancement. This benefits teams with the capability and resources to use this tool effectively."

"The way the tool's controls are linked to the framework, specifically with SAST and HIPAA frameworks or any other frameworks, is really good."

"The product is 100 percent friendly to use."

"My experience with customer support was good; they were responsive, but they didn't ever get us to a solution that worked."

"Drata offers APIs for every clause so that it can integrate into various platforms."

"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."

"Wiz has helped my organization by allowing us to analyze the critical issues and providing the best way to mitigate these issues with step-by-step guidance."

"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."

"Wiz has helped my organization achieve zero criticals in its issue queues after a month."

"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."

"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."

More Wiz pros

Cons

"The product can improve in its API documentation area."

"Drata has impacted our organization negatively, as it made the whole compliance process more complicated and cost me significant time."

"The thing with Drata is you cannot open multiple tabs on the same interface or the same desktop,"

"The solution is quite costly."

"The existing features of Drata are already extensive and costly to integrate."

"In terms of improvements, I'd suggest better marketing since the industry tends to market these tools as security experts, which isn't true."

"One of the challenges with Drata is that if you're paying for a subscription to ISO 27001, you must undergo a risk assessment. You should have access to all necessary modules on the platform to achieve your compliance posture and certification."

"There is room for improvement in Drata. The core features are solid, but some new features are in a very MVP (Minimum Viable Product) stage. They work, but the user experience isn't always smooth. While the core features are well-developed compared to the market, the new features need more polish. They could benefit from more user feedback and iterations to make them more useful. Some of these new features look promising buthave flaws, so we can’t fully adopt them or justify paying extra for them now. The user interface is clean and intuitive. However, you'll need some specific knowledge if you're a security policy manager or need to set updifferent integrations."

"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."

"In Wiz, if there is one vulnerability that occurs multiple times, it is listed only once. However, even if it is a single vulnerability in the same category, it repeats multiple times. This feature can be time-consuming as it requires continuous scrolling."

"The solution's container security could be improved."

"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."

"We noticed some capabilities that were lacking, specifically ignoring some false-positive Issue findings. The good news - with the latest update, this has been resolved."

"They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology."

"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 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's one of the more expensive options, but I think it's worth the money if you can afford it."

"Drata's pricing is quite reasonable. Compared to other tools in the market, including its biggest competitor, Vanta, Drata is much cheaper. Even compared to other tools like AuditBoard, which aren’t as good, Drata’s price remains competitive."

"I remember that my company used to pay 25,000 USD to use the product...The product's cost is really high, but it is a powerful tool."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."

"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."

"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."

"I wish the pricing was more transparent."

"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."

"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."

"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."
