We are using Wiz for many deployments in terms of vulnerability and also our Microsoft tenants, two different Microsoft tenants. We use it to manage our projects.
Wiz's automated compliance checks are the reason for our use case. I am actually working on the GCCR audit, which is the reason I was looking at it. There are still some things I need clarity on in my own meeting this morning.

Single pane of glass for multicloud security
What do you like best about the product?
Security starts with visibility, in WIZ we have the complete inventory, starting from the cloud layer up to the application deployed on workloads, including data and identity. Posture and behavior rules are based on this solid basement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is constantly evolving, pretty hard to follow and some changes are a bit not expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a single window that is enough for solving 85%+ of questions for a multi-cloud enterprise environment. There is a solution for each stage from code to cloud, and everything is visible in a single console.
Wiz is helping us better secure our company
What do you like best about the product?
Visibility and Team Ownership: Setting up projects and dashboards has helped our teams take ownership of their areas of the organization.
Risk Prioritization: We know exactly what to work on because Wiz helps identify assets with external exposure, vulnerabilities, data findings, misconfigurations, etc.
Solve issues, not just identify them: This is where I think Wiz has the secret sauce so to speak. Not only can it identify issues in your environment, but generating code fixes or steps how to remediate an issue makes it much easier for development teams to solve.
Setup: Integrations are seamless, easy to implement and work right away.
Dashboard: Allows you to quickly check each day the status of your environment and what needs to be tackled next.
Support Team: Support is fast and has a ton of helpful documents to assist you in the need arises.

What do you dislike about the product?
Custom Dashboards: The board views right now are limited to some predefined queries. While very good and useful. I would like to see this expanded in the future to allow more customizations.
Some of the views and issues do require some time in seat being in the application. If you want your dev team to be in the console, you will need to provide some training or use the integrations to send the information to them elsewhere.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of Visibility and Context: It can be hard to know exactly what is going on in your cloud environments and that's where Wiz has shined for us. Integrating from our code repository to our cloud service provides us with a really cool security graph that shows potential attack paths. The context of not only a vulnerability or exploit in your environment, but seeing how it impacts your organization is huge.
Overwhelming Security Alerts and "Alert Fatigue": While Wiz doesn't completely remove false positives, my team knows when alerts come in, it means action is needed.
Slow Remediation and Collaboration Issues: Remediation steps provided directly to the engineering teams shortens investigation time and allows our team to actually resolve issues rather than Jira tickets sitting in a backlog.
Vulnerability Management: Connecting to our code repository we can instantly create PRs to update packages in our repositories.

CIO review on Wiz
What do you like best about the product?
Wiz is intuitive, easy to use, and gives clear visibility into our environment while saving time with smart automation
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, Wiz can feel a bit overwhelming with the amount of data it surfaces, and some advanced features take time to fully understand. More streamlined reporting and customization options would make it even better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz helps us identify security risks across our cloud environment in real time, from misconfigurations to vulnerabilities. By having a unified view and automated prioritization, we can address the most critical issues faster and reduce risk. This saves time for the team, improves compliance, and strengthens overall security posture
Wiz: Simplifying Cloud Security Visibility and Risk Management
What do you like best about the product?
Wiz offers comprehensive visibility across cloud infrastructure without requiring agents, making it incredibly easy to deploy and scale. Its security graph provides a clear view of vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential attack paths in a unified interface. The platform integrates seamlessly with major cloud providers and supports rapid detection and remediation workflows, which helps security teams respond faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
While powerful, the interface can feel overwhelming at first due to the sheer volume of data presented. Custom policy creation and fine-tuning require a learning curve. Additionally, pricing may be a concern for smaller organizations or teams with limited cloud footprints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz is solving the problem of fragmented and complex cloud security by providing agentless, full-stack visibility into cloud infrastructure. It identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, malware, and exposed services across virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions—all in a single, unified platform.
This benefits me by drastically reducing the time and effort required to gain security insights across multi-cloud environments. Instead of juggling multiple tools or manual audits, I get a clear risk prioritization view that helps focus on what truly matters—like exploitable paths attackers might use. It improves security posture, supports compliance efforts, and enables faster remediation with less operational overhead.

WIZ a CSPM for CISO's
What do you like best about the product?
powerful tools bring a lot of features and innovations in one platform
What do you dislike about the product?
not very intuitive , controls and issues need to be defined separately
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
mainly CSPM and vulnerability management on hybrid and decentralized could environment including aws and gcp
Enables efficient management of vulnerabilities and project inventories
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I might not be able to give substantial information as I do not use the most valuable features of Wiz day-to-day in full capacity. I can check managing each of my projects and check vulnerabilities across each of those projects across each of the tenants. It allows you to manage your inventories that you have in different subscriptions or different tenants on your technology. Then you can configure different kinds of policies that you use around each of those.
What needs improvement?
I have not used Wiz in full capacity, so I cannot provide detailed improvement suggestions. I just started fully going through each feature to have a basic, comprehensive understanding of the product itself.
I cannot recommend Wiz to others until I have a clear understanding of its full capacity and benefits. In my organization, we have Rapid7, which is a vulnerability management tool, we have Wiz, and we have Microsoft Defender. I need to understand the reason for that decision in the first place to be able to look at the benefit to my organization.

For how long have I used the solution?
I started with Wiz some months ago.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
I do not know how long it took for us to actually deploy Wiz, as I was not within the corporation when it was deployed.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
So far, I would say Wiz is stable to the best of my knowledge.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
My thoughts on the scalability of Wiz so far is that it is scalable for me and good for us.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the scalability of Wiz as nine.

How are customer service and support?
I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I find the initial setup of Wiz straightforward in my opinion.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate how easy it is to set up Wiz as nine, if ten is the easiest.

What about the implementation team?
I do not know how many people it took to deploy Wiz. However, it is always the vendor and probably my director that was in the position which I was before.
What was our ROI?
I do not know if Wiz has impacted our operational costs related to cloud security or any kind of return on investment or operational impact that it has for us.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I do not really know the main differences between Wiz and other vulnerability management solutions such as Defender, but they perform similar functions.
When comparing Wiz to Defender, I think they do almost the same thing. The only difference is that Defender will give you RISK call. However, Wiz can give you a risk call against your investment because it is not a Microsoft solution.

What other advice do I have?
I work in accounting with Wiz in a large enterprise business.
Wiz does not require a lot of maintenance on our side. It is just ease of use. Wiz maintains most of it.
I have not used Wiz's AI capabilities to enhance our security threat detection as I just started looking at it. I have not really done much with that so far.
Overall, I would rate Wiz as good. I get everything I want, just the same way it is for every other solution, so I am going to rate it nine out of ten.
I rate Wiz a nine out of ten instead of a ten until I use the solution based on use cases and exploitation of the product, and what it gives me. If I am able to do that in full capacity, then I will give it ten. This is just based on what I still see so far. Until I get to see the benefits and everything, then my rating might be different in two weeks' time. At this moment, this is how it is.
RISC call is what I mean by that, RISC (R I S K).

Wiz's Product Expansion And Its Impact On Cloud Security
What do you like best about the product?
1- The way Wiz proactively gives us threat info, especially those alerts that come with ready-to-use searches to see if we're affected, has been super helpful for finding and fixing important weaknesses fast. It's now just part of what our security team does every day.
2- The querying in Wiz, based on KQL, is seriously strong and flexible. Being able to create our own specific searches means our team can really dig deep and spot anomalies in our environment that we wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
3- It's cool to see Wiz moving into other areas like Wiz Code and Defend. It shows they're not standing still and could become a central place for all our cloud security tools, which would be awesome.

What do you dislike about the product?
1 - Even though it's mostly comprehensive, the support for Google Cloud isn't quite as good as it is for AWS in some specific things, like how it handles tags and finds leftover domain names. It also feels like when we ask for GCP improvements, they don't always get get the attention they deserve.
2 - Most of the support folks we've dealt with have been fantastic, even helping us with things beyond what we originally asked. But with how fast Wiz is growing, we've noticed a slight dip in how quickly they get back to us sometimes, and the quality of the answers a be a bit hit or miss now and then.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz enhances our security posture by providing a valuable complement to our existing tools. Its risk-based approach is particularly beneficial, allowing us to prioritize and address the most critical issues within our cloud environment. Furthermore, we leverage Wiz to streamline our regulatory reporting obligations. The seamless integration with Jira has significantly simplified our workflows, and its connectivity with our XDR and SIEM platforms enables efficient threat identification and triage by our security operations team
Identifying vulnerabilities efficiently and providing remediation options
What is our primary use case?
We are primarily using Wiz for vulnerability scanning on our servers. If there is a vulnerability, we work on remediating it.
What is most valuable?
A valuable feature is that Wiz helps in identifying vulnerabilities. We can get information like remediation suggestions and links to understand vulnerabilities better. Additionally, we can download reports for all servers at the same time, which saves us the need to check each server individually.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Wiz for one year.
How are customer service and support?
Our team manager and the director have communicated with the vendor for support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
What about the implementation team?
There is another team responsible for the deployment part, so I did not work on that.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We also use Qualys.
What other advice do I have?
We use both cloud and on-premises versions. I mainly work on the cloud side but we use on-premises as well. I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Empowering Cloud Security and Risk Management
What do you like best about the product?
Wiz provides the visibility that a modern cloud-based company needs when it comes to prioritizing what really matters, maximizing the risk reduction, and the overall strength of security for the organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard reporting could be improved. Currently, it lacks the ability to report on multiple projects in a single view, which would enhance its utility for managing complex environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz is assisting me in prioritizing critical aspects, enabling enhanced risk and vulnerability management, streamlined remediation operations, and improved resource allocation.
Wiz- The Wizard! It’s wonderul
What do you like best about the product?
Wiz connects to your cloud environment and gives you complete visibility and actionable context on your most critical misconfigurations in real-time, so your teams can proactively and continuously improve your cloud security posture.
The best part about Wiz is that is provides recommendations which can be applied to address the threat
The best part about Wiz is that is provides recommendations which can be applied to address the threat
What do you dislike about the product?
When I launch Wiz , I can view threats from all the projects . In our organisation we have more than 100 subscripts so it’s cumbersome to filter. Suggest Wiz to build a capability to only display threats related to the project which I am interested in. Like SNYk
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations in cloud environment (all Azure resource) also scanning code to find out the risk
