Is user-friendly, quick to install, and provides great visibility into our assets
IONIX helps us with KPIs by identifying our assets and locating publicly accessible vulnerabilities within those assets. Additionally, it provides a severity rating for each vulnerability. The tracking is important because it ensures we are not replicating efforts. IONIX prioritizes bug fixes based on severity using a scale of one to ten. This ensures that critical and high-priority issues are addressed immediately. IONIX helps us identify our most critical assets, the ones that have the biggest impact on our risk exposure. It can also pinpoint any of these assets that are externally facing, meaning accessible to anyone on the internet. This is extremely valuable because having critical assets exposed to the public internet significantly increases the risk of attack. By identifying these exposed assets and highlighting their vulnerabilities, IONIX provides a crucial service. IONIX excels at identifying risks in third-party digital supply chains. This makes it easy to leverage those KPIs and demonstrate a potential correlation between security and search engine optimization to our marketing team, thereby getting them involved. Fortunately, I haven't had to discuss any false positives. The majority of our alerts, particularly the medium-severity ones, seem to be triggered by hyperlinks to third-party websites. We have a significant number of these alerts, and I'm scheduled to meet with the marketing department to address them. The IONIX user interface is truly user-friendly. Setting up a link, and credentials, and navigating the platform was incredibly fast and required no prior configuration. Within five minutes, I was up and running, able to explore a report and initiate action from our infrastructure team. It's a remarkably fast and smooth experience. Non-technical people can see the evidence and take action based on their one-sentence actionable items. IONIX integrates with our SOC tools to automate tasks. We plan to further leverage IONIX by integrating our AWS public-facing assets and Jira ticketing system. This will allow for automated project creation for our infrastructure team. I realized the value of IONIX within the first five minutes. It identified two critical vulnerabilities that we were then able to address. The Active Protection feature automatically detects exploitable vulnerabilities in our system and takes control of them, without requiring manual intervention from us. IONIX can potentially take control of an asset before an attacker does. This would prevent the attacker from gaining access. IONIX would notify us of the issue and help us mitigate it before returning control of the asset. Ultimately, it's far better to have a trusted security provider like IONIX manage our assets than a malicious actor. The Active Protection feature is important to us for those reasons. IONIX helps us reduce our mean time to remediation by providing clear and concise information. This allows our marketing team to address certain situations without requiring IT intervention. I've accessed the IONIX threat exposure radar three times since its implementation, and thankfully, there haven't been any threats detected on any of those occasions.

Useful for security assessment and maintaining correct security posture
The tool keeps improving on a weekly basis. Wiz enters into a lot of partnerships with other technologies. I don't have any idea about the improvements needed in the tool at the moment. For me, Wiz is a very complete product, but it is not the perfect one. Other technologies are better for our customers' specific use cases. A possible way to grow the tool is by introducing new functionality or features. In the future, the tool can introduce an on-prem infrastructure or platform. Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment. The onboarding can be done in five minutes or five to ten minutes. Then, there is the configuration, and it depends on the type of the use case of the customer. There is a customer that has simple use cases for whom the onboarding can be done in four to eight hours a day. If there are some customers with a lot of use cases and a lot of different cloud providers, more time is needed. In general, we don't need more than five days to deploy the tool, even in the case of a very complex architecture and hybrid cloud environment. To deploy the tool, we need to have access to the account of the customer, and Wiz is a stuff that we need to make with the customer. We do the onboarding together. The customer creates the correct authorization in the cloud platform and gives us the key to connect to the platform, and then the platform connector starts and begins to collect information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The portal is an excellent resource, offering valuable insights in a clear and actionable format. It provides a wealth of information, presented in a way that's easy to understand and use. This aligns perfectly with our key focus when working with IONIX: ensuring the data they deliver is highly actionable."
"The integration was easy."
"The most valuable feature of IONIX is the effortless setup."
"IONIX enables us to manage all our assets from one platform. We can see all the assets, login pages, web services, etc., from one place. It automatically scans everything so we can find new information about our organization. We don't need to add each asset or interface manually."
"We're constantly surprised by how good IONIX is at detecting timely vulnerabilities."
"My favorite is the dark web association that it does. It basically takes things that are unknown to you and then also runs those URLs through the dark web to see if there are potentially leaked credentials unknown to you. It links both of those together and gives you that on a report. You can identify potentially compromised credentials that were previously unknown to you, and you can do something about them. It is a cool feature."
"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Wiz saves time by validating a network misconfiguration by not only looking at the cloud asset configuration but also by testing if a port that is stated to be open is actually open."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature combines different contexts and attributes to produce highly confident alerts."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"IONIX can offer additional services to detect any potential bridging of very sensitive internal resources to the external side."
"Integrating on-premise Jira with IONIX to track changes and discussions would be highly beneficial for us in the future."
"Our team is always looking for ways to improve the product. Although we understand we are not the only client, the company has been very receptive to our suggestions."
"There are a couple of opportunities for them under integrations. They only have two SIEMs. They do not have our current SIEM in there. It would be nice to have our current SIEM in there, which is Hunter's AI."
"It would be extremely beneficial if IONIX could integrate with popular SaaS services like Salesforce, Box, Zoom, or NetSuite."
"The integration and mechanisms for scanning things after we fix them could be simpler. IONIX isn't an easy product to use, but it's one of the best solutions once you learn how to work with it."
"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."
"In Brazil, the cost is a significant issue due to the currency exchange rate."
"Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since we were an early adopter of IONIX, I believe we have a very favorable pricing model."
"Its pricing is fair."
"The pricing is good."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and at par with the rest of the industry."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
"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 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."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"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."
"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."
