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.

Unified monitoring has reduced alert noise and provides accurate, proactive application security
Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made. More customization options for dashboards and reports would help teams tailor the platform to their specific metrics and workflows. I also occasionally encounter DevOps tools that are not yet supported natively. Expanded coverage for niche or emerging tools would make onboarding even smoother. These points, however, are minor compared to the overall value the platform delivers, especially given the strength of its AI-driven detection, remediation, and supply chain protection capabilities. It would also be an improvement for licensing with regard to on-premise variants. Perhaps we could have an on-premise option for standard subscription.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."
"The biggest impact Wiz has had on our organization is improved visibility and better prioritization, as previously mentioned."
"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."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"Wiz stands out for its strengths, particularly in agentless scanning and graph-based risk prioritization, in addition to its comprehensive CNAPP capabilities and multi-cloud coverage."
"Wiz has helped me consolidate some tools, as it is not just doing the job of the security tool alone, and we do not need to invest in multiple tools because all aspects such as infrastructure, application, vulnerabilities, and the regular security scoring patterns are in-built into Wiz along with the inventory manager."
"Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities."
"Xygeni provides a comprehensive and developer-friendly approach to securing the entire software supply chain."
"The visibility of our open-source supply chain dependencies and real-time detection of vulnerabilities have been invaluable."
"Since using Xygeni, the time to review vulnerabilities has decreased."
"The best Xygeni feature is the ability to filter what is truly important, which really helps me focus on the key vulnerabilities in the software that I am building."
"I would like to highlight Xygeni's Core AI function, which makes it easier to understand security information for both technical leaders as well as for those who are higher up in business management, helping make smarter, faster decisions and offering more secure developments in less time."
 

Cons

"From a technical perspective, Wiz is excellent, but the pricing is too expensive."
"I feel there is a bit of noise in the initial setup and quality cleaning that may take time in larger environments."
"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."
"There is also alert noise in larger environments that generates duplicate alerts for the same issues under different categories."
"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."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"As for stability, we have seen some issues where our results changed radically from one day to the next, but we had not made radical changes, so we opened a case with support."
"There are various ways to improve Wiz, particularly focusing on posture prioritization and enhancing runtime detections while comparing to solutions like CrowdStrike or Defender which have more mature runtime capabilities and can work on stronger behavior-based detections."
"Xygeni can be more automated."
"There should be more configuration options that make it easier to target the issues that are more important in your organization's context."
"Xygeni could be improved if on-premise options were available starting from the starter packages, not only the enterprise models."
"I think Xygeni could be improved by having more information in the form of videos in Spanish and more use cases to share it with more prospects."
"Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 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."
"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."
