Arka Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer

Real-time bot defense has protected telecom APIs and now keeps customer logins secure
While DataDome performs very well overall, there are a few areas where improvements would make it even more effective in a telecom environment. One point is better handling of false positives. Although it is generally very accurate, in some cases, legitimate users or internal systems get flagged, especially corporate VPN users, internal testing tools, and partner integrations. The improvement would be a more granular and easier whitelisting mechanism and better transparency on why a request was blocked. Another point is more detailed analytics and custom reporting. The current dashboards are good, but sometimes detailed analysis is limited. Custom reporting options are not very flexible. As part of improvement, more customizable dashboards can be made, along with the ability to create business-specific reports, for each API and per region. Better visibility for API-level protection can also be developed. The protection works well, but debugging blocked API requests can take time and is not always easy to trace the exact reason for blocking, thus requiring more detailed logs and traceability for API traffic, along with easier correlation with backend systems. The integration with the existing security ecosystem can also be improved.
Peter Whelan - PeerSpot reviewer

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility
I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of DataDome is the traffic analysis."
"After implementing DataDome, we observed measurable improvements across security, performance, and user experience."
"The main improvements have been better protection, reduced operational noise, improved system stability, and lower manual effort in handling bot-related incidents."
"Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities."
"Wiz has positively impacted my organization by implementing zero trust authorization, providing good reporting that shows the top attack path, critical assets, overall risk posture, and demonstrating AI and ML workload capabilities towards my team, as well as good infrastructure detection and vulnerability detection accuracy with security posture management at massive scale and identity exposure."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"Wiz is one of the finest tools that I have used so far, and it gives visibility to all the services based resources, which other tools do not give."
"Wiz has positively impacted my organization by stopping security incidents, giving us full visibility in our cloud environments, and providing us with the confidence that we can use the tool not just for security but also for operations tooling, DevOps, code scanning, and all of the above."
"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."
"If anyone wants to secure their infrastructure, cloud environment, or Kubernetes cluster, I would strongly recommend Wiz as a tool because it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"Wiz is a very powerful product technologically."
 

Cons

"With DataDome, the biggest friction points we experienced were mostly around tuning and visibility during the early phase."
"DataDome does not catch legitimate IPs during traffic analysis, even when the traffic exceeds the threshold value."
"While DataDome performs very well overall, there are a few areas where improvements would make it even more effective in a telecom environment."
"I have seen some lagging or downtime a couple of times, but I am not sure why it happened."
"When integrating multiple clouds like hybrid cloud with Wiz, these processes need to be more user-friendly because more scripting is required in this scenario."
"An area of improvement is that there is a lot of data inside Wiz and the naming is confusing, as similar categories for vulnerabilities and issues sometimes duplicate issues across resources, which can be hectic."
"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."
"One important area for improvement in Wiz could be customization and reporting flexibility."
"The solution's container security could be improved."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the market rate, but the value it provides is more valuable than the pricing."
"Once you get a threat and fix it, to see that fix reflected in Wiz, you have to wait 24 hours. That is something I am not happy with."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"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."
"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
