Sentiment score
8.1
Wiz excels in scalability and integration, efficiently managing large-scale operations, though costs and remediation workflows need improvement.

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.
We were able to find a balance in terms of pricing and performance.

Room For Improvement

Snyk requires improved language support, IDE integration, UI, accuracy, reporting, automation, documentation, API access, and AI-driven vulnerability detection.
Users seek enhanced reporting, integration, security, and cost-effectiveness on Wiz, including better remediation, alerts, and scanning capabilities.
It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.
The inclusion of AI to remove false positives would be beneficial.
As we are moving toward GenAI, we expect Snyk to leverage AI features to improve code scanning findings.
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.
We need an agent that can be installed, or that can overview all the containers and Kubernetes so that it can detect malicious activities that are happening in them.
It focuses mainly on external risks, and additional visibility into internal network communication and cross-cloud or cloud-to-on-prem connectivity would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Snyk offers competitive, scalable pricing based on committers, providing value and flexibility for large-scale enterprise deployments.
Enterprise users value Wiz for its comprehensive security, despite higher costs and some confusion over advanced features and pricing.
Snyk is recognized as the cheapest option we have evaluated.
After negotiations, we received a special package with a good price point.
We are paying 250k per year.
In some cases, it has a very aggressive price, so very cheap.
What I do like is that the pricing seems pretty simple.
 

Valuable Features

Snyk excels with its ease of integration, extensive vulnerability management, and cost-effective support for multiple development tools and languages.
Wiz enhances cloud security with risk evaluation, visibility, and incident detection using user-friendly dashboards and automated analysis.
Our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.
Snyk helps detect vulnerabilities before code moves to production, allowing for integration with DevOps and providing a shift-left advantage by identifying and fixing bugs before deployment.
The best feature of Snyk is the integration with our ticketing system, which is Jira.
The feature leads to minimal false positives and a low volume of alerts, which is highly valuable for our operations.
It's highly customizable, allowing us to manage many custom features effectively.
Regarding compliance and governance, Wiz streamlines our vulnerability management to meet specific needs effectively.

Affordable tool boosts code scanning efficiency but faces integration hurdles
The most important feature of Snyk is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions such as Check Point. It is easy to consolidate Snyk across multiple entities within a large organization. Additionally, our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.
Pietro Villivà - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for security assessment and maintaining correct security posture
The tool keeps improving on a weekly basis. Wiz enters into a lot of partnerships with other technologies. I don't have any idea about the improvements needed in the tool at the moment. For me, Wiz is a very complete product, but it is not the perfect one. Other technologies are better for our customers' specific use cases. A possible way to grow the tool is by introducing new functionality or features. In the future, the tool can introduce an on-prem infrastructure or platform. Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment. The onboarding can be done in five minutes or five to ten minutes. Then, there is the configuration, and it depends on the type of the use case of the customer. There is a customer that has simple use cases for whom the onboarding can be done in four to eight hours a day. If there are some customers with a lot of use cases and a lot of different cloud providers, more time is needed. In general, we don't need more than five days to deploy the tool, even in the case of a very complex architecture and hybrid cloud environment. To deploy the tool, we need to have access to the account of the customer, and Wiz is a stuff that we need to make with the customer. We do the onboarding together. The customer creates the correct authorization in the cloud platform and gives us the key to connect to the platform, and then the platform connector starts and begins to collect information.
