Featured Reviews

Anas Rifai - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved our compliance workflow and helped identify and fix security vulnerabilities
The only thing I wish for regarding the features is better RBAC. Permissions for platform users have been an issue. We've had to give admin access to Vanta for another team member to view all items. It would be great if the permissions of Vanta platform users had more verbosity to them, more dynamic. To improve Vanta, I think the refresh after remediation takes place could be controlled more. If it could be faster, that would be great. Besides the user permissions and the refreshing, which are improvements rather than issues, the rest looks fine. Vanta has been really nice, with a nice user experience, clear layout, and very reasonable recommendations compared to other platforms we've tried.
MatthewSnyder - PeerSpot reviewer
Accelerates decision making and reduces alert fatigue with smart event consolidation
I believe they are on the right path. However, Wiz has a unique way of identifying issues. As part of its growth and maturity, I'm noticing that it is taking an approach where it not only detects problems but also provides solutions to fix them. This expansion into a more comprehensive ecosystem allows it to become a 360-degree product. Instead of just continuously pointing out findings and detections, it starts to integrate with existing solutions, reducing the cycle of repeated issues. We can learn from these mistakes, and ideally, they will only occur once, allowing us to address them effectively. I appreciate the continued growth in this partnership, as it aims to reduce the number of findings over time by tackling the root of the problem. One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks. Ideally, the process would become more automated, allowing us to quickly respond with steps such as: we found an issue, reached out, and fixed it immediately. In cybersecurity, if it takes several hours to address a concern and a human attacker is present, that delay can lead to severe consequences. We need more immediate measures in our response strategies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has provided automated security controls for our cloud provider. It helps to automate security checks. Vanta offers a list of things that can be done to achieve ISO 27001 compliance."
"The most valuable feature of Vanta is its prebuilt control frameworks."
"After implementing those changes with Vanta, we tracked specific outcomes and metrics and improved compliance scores, which we can see in Vanta."
"The most valuable feature of Vanta would be the time savings from the automation and the continuous compliance monitoring once set up."
"Task management and vendor assurance are the most valuable features. It is also an easy tool to use."
"They integrate into New Relic as a performance monitoring tool."
"It helps us track the compliance of the components listed in our partner's directory. We can also check if the password manager, XML, and three log policies have been properly implemented on the desktop."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities."
"I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"Wiz has significantly reduced alert fatigue in our organization by grouping together elements that form toxic combinations, allowing us to quickly identify and remediate critical issues instead of chasing isolated alerts from multiple tools."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"Wiz is a very powerful product technologically."
 

Cons

"Some of the tool's automated tests do not work the way it should."
"They have an AI generator for the system description for SOC 2, however, the outline is a little sketchy."
"There is a delay with customer support and they are unsure of the answers we need."
"The main area for improvement in Vanta is the user interface's refresh rate."
"Currently, Vanta's user access review module is still in development, and we've been giving them continuous feedback to help them improve that."
"Scalability could be improved."
"Permissions for platform users have been an issue. We've had to give admin access to Vanta for another team member to view all items."
"An area that Wiz can still continue to improve is FinOps."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."
"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."
"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."
"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
"One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks."
"In Wiz, if there is one vulnerability that occurs multiple times, it is listed only once. However, even if it is a single vulnerability in the same category, it repeats multiple times. This feature can be time-consuming as it requires continuous scrolling."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Vanta is expensive."
"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."
"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 cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"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."
