Pros & Cons summary

Wiz offers immediate visibility into risks and vulnerabilities with easy deployment due to its agentless design. It enhances cloud security posture and integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines. Advanced features like attack path analysis, risk prioritization, and comprehensive CNAPP capabilities improve remediation efforts. However, its reporting, remediation workflow, limited APIs, and customer support need refinement. Noise from insignificant vulnerabilities also requires addressing for improved user experience.

Wiz distinguished itself immediately in the PoC, surfacing important issues that were entirely missed by both the products we were already using and other CNAPP's that we tested.

The best features of Wiz Code that I appreciate the most include their entire dashboarding and the seamless integration with different DevOps tooling like GitHub or Azure DevOps, allowing you to run scanners directly onto the machines without consuming too many resources, and the recategorization of vulnerabilities is absolutely wonderful, giving you a complete attack path, which is something I love about Wiz Code because it details the entire lateral movement of the issue, whether it is a complete shift-left or shift-right, serving as the differentiators compared to other tools in the market.

Wiz has positively impacted my organization by implementing zero trust authorization, providing good reporting that shows the top attack path, critical assets, overall risk posture, and demonstrating AI and ML workload capabilities towards my team, as well as good infrastructure detection and vulnerability detection accuracy with security posture management at massive scale and identity exposure.

For any organization who want to think of moving to Wiz, the Security Graph feature is amazing and awesome, giving you deeper information than any other tools does and allowing a small security team to manage a massive complex cloud environment without hiring dozens of additional users to look into it.

Before Wiz Code, the security team manually correlated the cloud assets, vulnerabilities, IAM permissions, and internet exposure, with critical issues identified in five days, but now, with the security graph automatically correlating findings, critical issues are identified in 30 minutes, resulting in a 90 percent plus reduction in investigation effort.

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.

Wiz Code offers minimum false positive vulnerabilities, which is the best feature and meets expectations for the tool.

One of the things that Wiz has done well is that there are no agents for the CSPM, at least from what we are doing, and it is very easy to roll out, easy to configure, maintain, and generally it does what it says it does with few issues.

The only slight negative is its scanning capability compared to Checkmarx, but it is still very good.

Wiz can be improved with better maturity in code scanning and developer workflows, expanding secret detection to full lifecycle management, stronger IAM across multi-account environments, more transparent attack path scoring and risk modeling, improved AI and ML security scanning, reduced false positives in runtime threat detection, more fine-grained access control and tenant separation, and better integration for serverless workloads.

Two percent would be that the loading time is taking a bit longer while loading the graph, and while navigating to other links, that is also taking some time.

While Wiz provides excellent data and reports, sometimes the suggested fixes for vulnerabilities are not always accurate based on our code compatibility.
