The sizing script provided by Wiz is fairly accurate. The support team will help you accurately identify the licensing needs. We've done it, and it is spot-on.
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.
Wiz is quite expensive. However, having a comprehensive view of your cloud environment is essential. On-premises systems are much easier to track, but managing numerous instances in the cloud requires enhanced visibility. We are paying 250k per year. For our business case, we needed Wiz to meet regulatory requirements and quickly identify public exposure vulnerabilities, such as publicly accessible instances or resources. This information immediately helps prevent vulnerabilities within your business environment, providing a cybersecurity advantage. While this doesn't translate to direct financial benefits, it helps prevent potential breaches and escalations, which is invaluable. Like other security tools, Wiz incurs a cost, but its value lies in enhanced security rather than financial gain.

I wish the pricing was more transparent. We are in the discovery phase of onboarding other business units and looking at what our pricing looks like. Wiz is agentless and goes based on our projects and resources, so it is good in terms of pricing compared to others. There is room for improvement on our pricing models, so it would be nice if Wiz could share the price beforehand rather than onboarding and then having pricing based on utilization. Despite this, the pricing is fair given the capabilities and features that Wiz offers, as competitors are not doing this at the same level yet.

Wiz is pretty expensive. It costs more than others in the market. For example, Lacework was half as much. We didn't get as much obviously, but it was half as much. The other platform was even less than Lacework, so Wiz is at the higher end of the market.

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. It might follow a trajectory similar to Splunk. Early adopters got an excellent deal, but it became pricey when they became the market leader. Many CISOs are concerned about the longevity of Wiz's pricing model. It's becoming a go-to product that lots of folks are shifting toward.

I believe they're moving to a different licensing model. We are still grandfathered to the initial pricing models. What I do like is that 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. But I'll have to see how the new pricing model will work for us.
Wiz is a highly efficient solution for data security posture management (DSPM), with a 100% API-based approach that provides quick connectivity and comprehensive scans of platform configurations and workloads. The solution allows companies to automatically correlate sensitive data with relevant cloud context, such as public exposure, user identities, entitlements, and vulnerabilities.This integration enables them to understand data accessibility, configuration, usage, and movement within...
This feedback is not based on much experience yet, as we have only conducted POV or POC.
The cost depends on workload, features, and modules, and it is not inexpensive. Other technologies, like Orca, a competitor, are also expensive.

Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly.

The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing.
