We are a partner and develop Wiz opportunities here in Brazil and Latin America. We already have some customers using Wiz as a DSPM platform. We use it in various industries, like retail, where it is used for security profiling and predictive analysis to identify risks. There is also a global industrial company using Wiz, but I cannot disclose its name.

The best cloud security tool available!
Wiz has stopped innovating and adding more features to its platform. This helps to reduce the number of vendors with access to your environment.
We love Wiz!
Amazing!!
One of the best tools i'v eused
What I appreciate most about Wiz is its ability to contextualize vulnerabilities across cloud assets. The risk-based prioritization saves us hours of triage, and the single-pane view ensures my team can respond efficiently without hopping between tools
The development pipeline at Wiz is something I really appreciate. New features are delivered rapidly and often just appear on the platform, rather than being pushed back to 'next quarter' repeatedly. This agility makes a noticeable difference in keeping up with evolving security needs.
A cloud security tool for everyone, from developers to CISOs
Wiz also has a very good overview and allows you to drill down across different levels. This makes it very pleasant to use and is very informative. The evaluation from a finding to an issue supports prioritization enormously and helps us as an organization to focus on the essential issues. Wiz is also very fast at displaying emerging threats in the platform and showing the risks to our resources. A big plus from the SOC / CISO perspective.
The ability to organize cloud resources in projects, which in turn can be controlled granularly via RBAC and provided with dedicated integrations, makes Wiz a tool that we have been able to introduce very well throughout the entire IT organization.
The support from Wiz is good and fast. We receive quick feedback and good support on our tickets.
The further development of the platform should be emphasized. The features that Wiz had when we introduced it were already great and in the 2 years Wiz has developed enormously. So fast that we can't keep up with introducing these features in the organization.
I am delighted to have found a security tool in Wiz that is not only useful for the security departments, but also helps the IT teams and is used and appreciated by them. Wiz has brought the maturity of our cloud forward.
The data export options are limited, and it is difficult to export data for very large cloud environments.
Enhanced security profiling and predictive analysis in diverse industries
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The platform offers granularity in visibility, which is essential for understanding our risks and threats. We implement a maturity report to provide our customers with a cloud maturity idea using Wiz to identify and suggest actions to enhance their environment's resilience and availability.
What is most valuable?
The granularity of visibility that the platform provides is the most valuable aspect. It shows all details of our sources, which helps in understanding the risks and threats within the system. Additionally, the platform's integration capabilities allow us to see various operational systems through Wiz.
What needs improvement?
In Brazil, the cost is a significant issue due to the currency exchange rate. Wiz is not a cheap solution, and it is hard to prove cost efficiency to customers. While it improves security and maturity, reducing costs is challenging due to it being expensive.
How are customer service and support?
WIZ does not have local support in Brazil. However, Century Data has an engineering team who support the initial calls with a local Knowledge base.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used SentinelOne, which is XDR and protects servers or workstations but does not offer Wiz's DSPM capabilities.
How was the initial setup?
Customers have told us that Wiz is easier to implement than Orca. Both technologies are agentless, but Wiz is simpler to deploy.
What was our ROI?
The local cost of Wiz in Brazil is high, making it difficult to achieve a significant return on investment. While it enhances security and maturity, the high cost in Brazil makes it challenging to demonstrate cost reduction.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost depends on workload, features, and modules, and it is not inexpensive. Other technologies, like Orca, a competitor, are also expensive.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did evaluate Orca previously.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend Wiz for customers who need more maturity in their operations. It provides extensive visibility and granularity, essential for managing security and operational risks.
I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
Great user experience and coverage
Their vulnerability management product has become really great and easy to use. It is very easy to prioirtize different applications, and generating SBOM of your environment is useful as well. The runtime validation of dependencies gives extra peace of mind. This was super helpful in our compliance journey.
I also like their cloud events management solution, it was very easy to set up with both AWS and Azure and it comes with many canned threat detection alerts (you can also create your own).
Overall, super easy to set up and get complete visibility of your environments. No agents to deploy.
Requesting new features and other small updates to the platform is easy and their support team is responsive. Any issue that I've reported is resolved shortly after.
I don't have any other complaints.
Impressive Experience and Rapid Deployment
We have now fully deployed the platform and I am impressed with the ease of deployment and also the very short time it takes to begin gaining the value. The trickiest part for us is onboarding our operational teams, but Wiz do make it very easy to allow only relevent access to each operational team via a "projects" feature.
Its very early in our journey with the platform so time will tell if we continue to keep that value after the initial hump where we have more to remidiate. But given the speed at which the Wiz teams are releasing features the future of our partnership with Wiz looks very bright.
I'd also like to add that the Customer Support experiance with Wiz has been some of the best I have experianced. The support teams ares very quick to respond and have the skills needed to assist. Also worth mentioning is the Wiz documentation and included onboarding academy videos are very good.
Wiz is the cloud security tool that just keeps giving...
Very good product
I use Wiz every day and it's easy to work (complet documentation and a nice Wiz Academy).
We deployed Wiz easyly on the top of ours Cloud Organization (GCP, AWS and Azure) .
