Featured Reviews

Dhruv Vaghasiya - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at Titanslab Inc.
Continuous assessments have strengthened our cloud security posture and compliance readiness
Prowler would benefit from improvements in dashboards and visualization. Currently, dashboards are only available for the default configuration. If Prowler could provide custom dashboards and querying into our data, it would be more useful for organizations. Additionally, more automated suggestions and reporting customization would be valuable. Currently, Prowler only provides PDF reports for their default posture and does not provide reports for frameworks like SOC 2 Type 2. While the scanning capabilities are strong, the most significant improvements would focus on visualization, automation, and enterprise workflow integration. Deeper integration with ticketing tools and SIEM tools would enhance the platform's value. Stronger enterprise reporting and automated remediation capabilities would add significant value to Prowler.
Peter Whelan - PeerSpot reviewer
CISO at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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

"Using Prowler scans is definitely very helpful."
"Before using Prowler, we were spending hours of our engineers' efforts on compliance and misconfiguration checks, saving that configuration in Excel sheets, and after switching to Prowler, these processes are super smooth and easy, and we are currently saving our engineers' time."
"Prowler offers real-time scanning, which is crucial when improving our cloud security posture, as updates can be immediately reflected on the scoreboard."
"Prowler has positively impacted our organization by improving our security posture, increasing visibility into our cloud misconfigurations, and helping us strengthen our compliance processes."
"Prowler has positively impacted our organization by improving our security posture, increasing visibility into our cloud misconfigurations, and helping us strengthen our compliance processes."
"Prowler has saved us a lot of time, as our engineers previously wasted time manually checking all the configurations of cloud resources maintained in Excel sheets; after switching to Prowler, we save 60 to 70% of our engineers' time, as they no longer need to check each cloud account and resource individually."
"Prowler has positively impacted my organization by helping us on the security front by improving compliance."
"Overall, it helps strengthen our cloud security posture and manage risks more proactively."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"Wiz has improved the overall security posture of our previous organization, by providing wide-cross visibility in terms of risk identification, alert creation, misconfiguration identification, vulnerability remediations, patching of security holes, and exposing details."
"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."
"The way Wiz can correlate the entire CI/CD pipeline of any infrastructure stands out for me compared to other tools I have used."
"Wiz is very effective and very advanced compared to other solutions."
"What I appreciate most about Wiz is that the compliance and CSPM aspects of this cloud-native application protection offering are genuinely better than other products available in the market."
"Wiz Code has positively impacted our organization as it helped us to maintain a healthy application security side of the company and to remediate our vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"Prowler would benefit from improvements in dashboards and visualization."
"I give Prowler a score of seven or eight due to its inclusion of multiple security policies and the lack of a feature for adding false positives."
"I do have one pain point using Prowler. Every time I use Prowler to output results, they have three formats available: CSV, HTML, and JSON."
"For the reports, Prowler does not provide PDF reports for all compliances; it only gives reports for the Prowler configuration."
"Some of the findings in Prowler are not that critical but come in the critical category, so that could be improved."
"Prowler would benefit from improvements in dashboards and visualization."
"One limitation is that after scanning the cloud account, Prowler provides reports of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO certified, but we only receive an Excel sheet; I think a PDF report along with remediation steps is needed to help us improve our cloud accounts better."
"I think speed is important; Wiz waits for approval before suggesting a new vulnerability solution, so a faster cycle would help developers prepare before an attack occurs."
"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."
"I choose eight out of ten because there is always room for improvement."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"Wiz Code could be better in secret scanning where no push protections are enabled at the GitHub or GitLab level to prevent pushing secrets on GitHub itself."
"While Wiz provides excellent data and reports, sometimes the suggested fixes for vulnerabilities are not always accurate based on our code compatibility."
"We are still analyzing its behavior as we are in the midst of the implementation."
"Regarding pricing, I would say that the pricing model is a little bit hefty on the pocket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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