Tenable Vulnerability Management and Wiz are strong competitors in the field of vulnerability management and cloud security. Wiz tends to have an advantage in cloud-focused insights, making it more suitable for enterprises leveraging extensive cloud infrastructure.
Features: Tenable provides robust vulnerability scanning and management tools with comprehensive integration capabilities, extensive cloud, and on-prem monitoring, and frictionless assessments for AWS. Wiz delivers an emphasis on contextual risk evaluation and automated threat detection, utilizing its Security Graph and agentless scanning for in-depth cloud asset insights.
Room for Improvement: Tenable could improve its licensing clarity, dashboard customization, and documentation quality. Wiz needs to enhance its reporting and risk assessment capabilities, improve API integrations, and broaden its alert profiles to better handle threats.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tenable deploys across cloud and hybrid environments but faces criticism for support response times and support bundling in pricing. Wiz offers simple deployment in cloud settings and a supportive, responsive customer service team, although it could improve deployment across diverse platforms.
Pricing and ROI: Tenable is considered expensive with potential to adopt a straightforward pay-as-you-go model for SMB accessibility. Wiz's pricing, although high, is offset by its significant value in cloud insights, favoring enterprises focused on cloud infrastructure.
Therefore, it is important to be proactive rather than reactive, which will bring a return on the investment.
Compliance is much easier as we can now get in-depth monitoring of controls from an ISO or software perspective.
We have seen ROI from Wiz and we continued to see value in Wiz.
It needs improvement in response time and addressing feature requests promptly.
We can always reach our account representative when we have a problem or need to speak with technical staff to clarify things.
It is some of the best post-sales support ever received.
They recently changed to Zendesk, which has been so much better.
They can seamlessly scale the number of endpoints from 100 to 1,000,000 in a day.
This solution is very scalable; if I add resources to new accounts, they are automatically monitored.
We have deployed Wiz in three organizations on AWS, each with approximately 70 to 80 accounts, totaling more than 120 accounts.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
I have faced no stability issues with Tenable.
We have not encountered any issues with Wiz since I have been here, and it remained stable with no downtime or changes required.
We've only had downtime from maintenance and updates, and they notify us in advance, so we aren't impacted.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.
They should also accelerate the process of implementing new features upon request.
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.
Wiz is the first vendor I've worked with that has turnaround feature requests in less than a month.
We are trying to figure out how to increase the frequency of the scans, as some universities do not wait a day before they know if something is exposed.
Tenable charges around $40 per device, while Rapid7 costs $10 to $15 per device.
Early adopters got an excellent deal, but it became pricey when they became the market leader.
There is room for improvement on our pricing models, so it would be nice if Wiz could share the price beforehand rather than onboarding and then having pricing based on utilization.
We got results with Wiz immediately; we installed it and met our goal during the four-week trial.
Tenable enables vulnerability management through potential AI integration that consolidates efforts and resolves multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously.
It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents.
Leveraging this technology saves us not only precious engineering time but also money developing and investing in other overlapping solutions.
The ability to scan every layer without agents is a huge selling point because we're multi-agent.
