Review summaries and opinions

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

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.5
Wiz support is highly rated for responsiveness, knowledgeable staff, and effective communication, despite initial contact and resolution time challenges.
No sentiment score available
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.
 

Room For Improvement

Sentiment score
4.8
Wiz needs enhanced remediation, logging, executive reporting, customizable dashboards, integration, cost efficiency, and improved network visibility.
No sentiment score available
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.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
Wiz is praised for its scalable SaaS capabilities, adapting automatically to various demands, with minor cost management challenges.
No sentiment score available
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.
 

Setup Cost

No sentiment score available
Wiz's pricing evolves with feature-based tiers, offering value in security but raises concerns about cost and transparency.
No sentiment score available
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.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.5
Wiz is mostly stable, with resolved issues and high user satisfaction, despite minor login and alert discrepancies during implementation.
No sentiment score available
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.
 

Valuable Features

Sentiment score
8.7
Wiz offers risk prioritization, contextual visibility, and agentless scanning to enhance vulnerability management, efficiency, and remediation strategies.
No sentiment score available
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.
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.

Has a valuable feature for attack simulation; it highlights the vulnerability and offers recommendations for improvement
XM Cyber helps identify risk by creating a shadow environment mirroring the production system. While it doesn't directly mitigate risks, it simulates attacks across this replica, uncovering vulnerabilities and weak points within the system. Once a WISC is established, it highlights the vulnerability and offers recommendations for improvement. It provides reporting templates, making the process faster. I rate it an eight out of ten.
