Arka Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Solution Support Development Engineer at Ericsson Global
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.

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 main improvements have been better protection, reduced operational noise, improved system stability, and lower manual effort in handling bot-related incidents."
"The most valuable feature of DataDome is the traffic analysis."
"After implementing DataDome, we observed measurable improvements across security, performance, and user experience."
"Wiz gives a very good insight into how secure your software and code are and is quite good at consolidating the scanning results."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."
"Wiz has improved the overall security posture of our previous organization, National Australia Bank, by providing wide-cross visibility in terms of risk identification, alert creation, misconfiguration identification, vulnerability remediations, patching of security holes, and exposing details."
"The tool is very powerful in nature."
"What I appreciate most about Wiz is that it has access to all project scopes."
"Wiz positively impacts my organization, especially since we are in the insurance sector where data security is paramount."
"Wiz has helped me consolidate some tools, as it is not just doing the job of the security tool alone, and we do not need to invest in multiple tools because all aspects such as infrastructure, application, vulnerabilities, and the regular security scoring patterns are in-built into Wiz along with the inventory manager."
 

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."
"There are various ways to improve Wiz, particularly focusing on posture prioritization and enhancing runtime detections while comparing to solutions like CrowdStrike or Defender which have more mature runtime capabilities and can work on stronger behavior-based detections."
"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."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"From a technical perspective, Wiz is excellent, but the pricing is too expensive."
"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."
"The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."
"As an extensive user of Wiz, I have noticed that one critical area Wiz is missing is context."
"Wiz is not agnostic compared to other competitors in the market. If you want to add a new integration to another platform, it does not have an easy plug-and-play option for whatever platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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 cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
