Saravanan_Radhakrishnan - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Happiest Minds Technologies
Facilitates continuous assessment of applications, covering both static and dynamic security aspects
Code Dx lacks one aspect, the dynamic security part, known as DAST. It's not an on-premise solution; it's in the cloud now. There are compliance standards and data standards where the customer might need to have the data on-premises for dynamic security testing. So that is one shortfall. An area of improvement could be developing an on-premise DAST solution. The current one is a complete cloud-based solution, and that can be one of the areas of improvement.
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

"The customers were looking for something around static security and dynamic security, and in all those areas, they were looking for an industry leader with a proven solution. Synopsys is a Gartner leader, so I position this particular technology for the technical pre-sales part of it."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."
"The most valuable feature of Wiz is that it keeps information up to date without needing to perform scans or schedule maintenance windows. It provides a fresh snapshot of our vulnerability metrics."
"The product's most valuable feature combines different contexts and attributes to produce highly confident alerts."
"Wiz positively impacts my organization, especially since we are in the insurance sector where data security is paramount."
"A valuable feature is that Wiz helps in identifying vulnerabilities."
"Wiz has helped my organization achieve zero criticals in its issue queues after a month."
"Wiz has impacted our organization very positively because it includes various advanced features such as compliance audits, continuous security monitoring, and vulnerability management, along with cloud assistance and DevSecOps integration."
"Wiz is a very mature platform that we use daily as an end-to-end cloud management tool, and it is great as it reduces your company's security risk and actively monitors your entire cloud infrastructure, so you do not need to worry about any cloud risks affecting your organization."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit challenging because things are not easy. It needs a lot of technology adaptability plus the customer's environment-specific use cases."
"More or less, Wiz is doing well, but the false alerts at random times would be another area for improvement."
"I think Wiz could improve its identity component."
"Wiz can improve its AI integrations to reduce noise, as it currently produces excessive noise with insignificant vulnerabilities or informational findings that it sometimes portrays as critical bugs."
"Sometimes it is a little difficult to create specific queries to find data in your environment."
"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."
"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."
"In Brazil, the cost is a significant issue due to the currency exchange rate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more of an enterprise solution for budget-conscious customers. So, it's moderately priced. It's not for everybody."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"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 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 pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
