Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.
Utsav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Maintain operational efficiency by detecting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma. It also offers repository scanning in the source code domain, allowing pre-push code scans. The misconfiguration detection works well for CloudFormation, Docker files, and Terraform. Its compliance support, like NIST, ensures that configurations align with standards. Trivy helps me significantly detect misconfigurations missed by the ops engineers or in Terraform by the naked eye. It ensures that my deployments are free of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"The UI is very good."
"The user-friendliness is the most valuable feature."
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."
"It saves time, makes your environment more secure, and improves compliance. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security helps with audits, ensuring that you are following best practices for cloud security. You don't need to be an expert to use it and improve your security."
"The tool identifies issues quickly."
"I can see vulnerabilities in the images of any applications deployed in the Kubernetes environment or as container applications."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
"Overall, I would rate Trivy a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
"Trivy is very reliable and always has an up-to-date database to scan images and identify vulnerabilities."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."
"I definitely recommend Trivy."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."
"Wiz is a very powerful product technologically."
"The granularity of visibility that the platform provides is the most valuable aspect."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its cost could be a barrier for some users."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."
"The resolution suggestions could be better, and the compliance features could be more customizable for Indian regulations. Overall, the compliance aspects are good. It gives us a comprehensive list, and its feedback is enough to bring us into compliance with regulations, but it doesn't give us the specific objects."
"I have noticed that the dashboard occasionally gets stuck, potentially due to internet issues. It could benefit from enhancements to be more robust and smoother."
"The reporting could be a little better. When integrating Trivy with CI, the interpretation of the reports could be improved."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
"A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"The reporting could be a little better."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities. Improvements could include better contextual analysis or granular filtering."
"Having little experience can hinder the ability to connect it to a user-friendly UI effectively."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format. Additionally, it takes longer to scan container images built with many layers."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."
"As the tool is a good fit for small and medium-sized businesses, the solution should focus on making the product suitable for large-scale businesses."
"Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment."
"The reporting isn't that great. They have executive summaries, but it's only a compliance report that maps all current issues to specific controls. Whether you look at one subscription or project, regardless of the size, you will get a multipage report on how the issues in that account map to that control. Our CSO isn't going to read through that. He won't filter that out or show that to his leadership and say, "Here's what we're doing." It isn't a helpful report. They're working on it, but it's a poor executive summary."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."
"The solution's container security could be improved."
"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the pricing, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a little less than I thought."
"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"The pricing tends to be high."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"Singularity Cloud Security by SentinelOne is cost-efficient."
Information not available
"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 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."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
"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."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
