Dazz Unified Remediation Platform

We are planning to introduce Wiz into our CI/CD, scanning the Docker image whenever it gets built, so if there is any vulnerability, we can refer to the Wiz report and resolve it before pushing the code.

The cloud security democratization aspect of Wiz is crucial, as our company offers various services and must ensure data security and product quality while managing threats from older dependencies or JARs.

The automated scanning stands out for me because when our security team raises a ticket, the solutions provided in the Wiz report help us debug those issues, and I rely 100% on the Wiz solutions.

Wiz has positively impacted our organization by solving many issues, such as ensuring we do not have vulnerable code in our production environment, protecting our customer data, and helping us maintain system security from potential threats.

I notice that whenever the scans are completed, we consistently upgrade our system, and Wiz scans for any unused infrastructure that we are not using or maintaining, pointing out vulnerable files that can be upgraded or deleted.

Wiz does allow us to consolidate tools, providing abundant infrastructure information before billing is affected and recommending solutions for any public-facing vulnerabilities, which enables us to rely on Wiz to address critical infrastructure issues.

I feel that Wiz has reduced alert fatigue in our organization by approximately 70%.

I think speed is important; Wiz waits for approval before suggesting a new vulnerability solution, so a faster cycle would help developers prepare before an attack occurs.

The accuracy and reliability of Wiz's output are quite good, and the AI helps clarify any doubts I have regarding the reports.

I advise others looking into using Wiz to rely on it smartly and trust the solutions it provides.

I rate this review as 9 out of 10.

Wiz is being tested to compare against Checkmarx, examining scanning capabilities, native visibility, ease of deployment, and code-level analysis. The proof of concept has completed, and we had interaction with the user interface, gaining the ability to use some of the features and functionality of Wiz. The scanning process was very easy, with a single pane of glass making it simple to move from one feature to another. There is significant customization involved, allowing for bespoke configuration to meet specific requirements. Wiz provided many advantages, and the proof of concept was very impressive. The interface was simple to use and quick to become familiar with.

We were able to examine risks and vulnerabilities very easily, which was the main focus of the initiative—to identify exactly where the vulnerabilities, risks, and threats were located and to detect and identify those immediately within the framework provided. Multi-cloud risk mapping proved very useful because we could see everything with no hidden elements. Everything was visible and transparent. In terms of prioritization, we could identify which specific area of the cloud or container contained vulnerabilities. When critical issues appeared, we could develop metrics to understand where specific problems lay. If a certain area had multiple critical vulnerabilities, we looked deeper into that area to find underlying causes. There was immediate information available, as well as information that could be gleaned after conducting root cause analysis. Trends and trend analysis have improved, helping us build a clearer picture of what is happening, where it is happening, and why. Robust static application security testing (SAST) and SCA analysis at the code level proved very useful. Catching vulnerabilities early was a key highlight and takeaway from the proof of concept.

The best feature Wiz offers is the ability to identify different threats, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities, with vulnerabilities being the main focus because that is what we have to communicate to our coders and developers. We were able to see what specific vulnerabilities contained in terms of root cause analysis, such as whether libraries needed updating, whether certain CVEs were related to those vulnerabilities, and how common those vulnerabilities were, including whether patches or fixes were available. Significant information was available that could help remediate numerous issues. Vulnerabilities identification and detection were very important; we were immediately able to see through drilling down exactly what was available in terms of remediation, whether it was possible immediately or what could be done afterward.

In terms of posture management, it was fantastic because we could see how risks were mapped across multi-cloud infrastructure seamlessly. The threat detection algorithms and mapping prioritized vulnerabilities based on actual exposure, allowing us to see critical, high, medium, or low priorities instantly. The deployment was also very easy.

Wiz has positively impacted our organization with improved remediation speed and efficiencies in terms of time saved, as well as reducing false positives. We are currently conducting deep code scanning alongside posture management, and we have seen improvements and efficiencies in both areas. Final metrics have not been established, and I am certain that will be completed in October once analysis is finished. However, the initial findings and recommendations are very positive, indicating benefits in time saved and efficiency, as well as economies of scale in performing tasks more easily and quickly while eradicating false positives and achieving a clearer picture of real vulnerabilities.

Wiz has met my expectations in terms of accuracy and reliability of output, with the co-pilot functionality being very good. The assistant services from AI exceeded what I had anticipated. Although the full range has not been tested, my experiences, along with my colleagues', have been very impressive regarding the outputs generated by AI.

While Checkmarx may perform better in some deep code scanning aspects, Wiz is considerably easier to use, has a better user interface, and offers a more compelling argument for its use. It is more robust and stable, making these positive points quite clear. The only slight negative is its scanning capability compared to Checkmarx, but it is still very good. Additional comments regarding needed improvements around scanning capabilities or any other area where Wiz could catch up to Checkmarx are not necessary.

Wiz has been used for a proof of concept over the course of a few weeks. A decision regarding adoption will be made by our company based on the findings and recommendations from the participants in the proof of concept initiative.

Wiz is stable based on proof of concept experience, and it is certainly much more stable than Checkmarx.

I am very impressed with Wiz's scalability. We began with 50 licenses and quickly increased that number to 200. It was efficient in scaling up. While we anticipate needing in excess of 200 licenses moving forward, we are confident Wiz can handle that demand.

Customer support receives a rating of 10 because we had a few initial questions, and they responded quickly and professionally, resolving all our issues regarding identity and access management in a short period.

The main solution currently in use is Checkmarx. We considered switching because Checkmarx experienced several outages and failures in service delivery, prompting us to explore other options in the marketplace.

During the proof of concept, there was minimal interaction with other applications. There was a link to Jira and Confluence for ticket creation, but since it was a proof of concept, much of the information was dummy data. Wiz was used primarily in isolation to see how the product would function on its own, without integration with other products.

Post-sale support services were not used during the proof of concept. The next step will be to collect all findings and make recommendations to senior management, who will decide whether to implement Wiz within the company.

A return on investment has not been technically realized yet, but efficiencies have been achieved in terms of fewer false positives and reduced analyst time on resolving vulnerabilities. These metrics will become clearer in October after assessing how Wiz performed against Checkmarx. The initial findings are encouraging, and we are optimistic about future assessments.

No involvement occurred with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Wiz since it was a free proof of concept. Approximately 200 licenses were provided for the initiative, but pricing moving forward is unknown. It is expected to be more expensive than Checkmarx; however, the overall feeling is that Wiz is the more stable and user-friendly product, strong with features and functionality, potentially favoring the decision to move forward.

The recommendations provided by Wiz were valuable. This functionality is not available with Checkmarx currently. The concept of using the co-pilot and large language models, along with agentic AI, is refreshing and potentially very beneficial for future operations, particularly in troubleshooting and root cause analysis.

I have been using Wiz for approximately three to four weeks, and I find that Wiz is an amazing cloud security platform that helps the organization identify, prioritize, and remediate security issues across cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and various types of clouds, Kubernetes, and containers.

My main use cases for Wiz include cloud security posture management, or CSPM, because admins continuously monitor the cloud environment for misconfigurations and if any misconfiguration is found, Wiz will correct them. Additionally, there is the Vulnerability Management feature because it prioritizes vulnerabilities based on real-world risks and exploitability, also identifying vulnerabilities that could impact real-world risk within organizations. The Identity security feature also detects excessive permissions and identifies related risk, along with Kubernetes security which scans the Kubernetes clusters and workloads. These are my use cases of Wiz in my role.

We use Wiz in a cloud risk assessment because we scan client cloud environments to identify exposed resources and misconfigurations, generate security assessment reports, and perform vulnerability management and compliance audits which validate adherence to industry frameworks and produce audit-related reports for customers. This eases their workload, and it is also used for incident response to investigate attack paths, identify compromised resources, and reduce investigation time with centralized visibility. These are my use cases in my work.

The best feature of Wiz is its multi-cloud support which encompasses AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Kubernetes. This multi-cloud support is one of the main features that stands out, along with path analysis that matches how attackers could navigate through the environment.

Wiz has impacted our organization very positively because it includes various advanced features such as compliance audits, continuous security monitoring, and vulnerability management, along with cloud assistance and DevSecOps integration. All these features empower Wiz, significantly aiding our organization's growth.

I have seen major changes since implementing Wiz because it greatly enhances visibility into our cloud infrastructure; the onboarding became simpler and the dashboard provides clear insights into vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and attack paths, contributing positively to our organization's security and growth.

Wiz provides governance as it implements all necessary policies correctly, validating compliance with industry frameworks rather than just standard frameworks. It adheres to frameworks created by the CB or RBAC which gets validated here, providing Audit Ready Reports for customers; this is an excellent point for both customers and co-owners.

The accuracy and reliability of Wiz are impressive; all the inputs fit perfectly with no extra adjustments needed. Reliability exists in various features, especially when creating policies, allowing us to execute incident response tasks effectively; hence, accuracy and reliability are strong components of Wiz.

Wiz's Runtime Sensor integrates seamlessly with DevSecOps, providing CI/CD pipelines and integrating with various tools and use cases, helping to effectively identify actively running threats, making it a strong solution compared to previous ones.

Wiz has great scalability; I find it one of its strong features, helping organizations grow due to its capabilities.

I believe a little more documentation could help users follow step by step. That is the extent of the improvements needed.

I feel there is a bit of noise in the initial setup and quality cleaning that may take time in larger environments. Additionally, advanced features might require security expertise; hence, improvements in documentation would be beneficial. Otherwise, all aspects are very good and easy to use.

I have been using Wiz for approximately three to four weeks.

Customer support is good; whenever we need assistance, the business support team is readily available to help us. It is reassuring to know we can rely on good customer support.

All of the ways I use Wiz are amazing, as it can be used anywhere it is suitable, and it is especially great for large organizations.

I find myself relying most on multi-cloud support because it is very useful, especially since we do not have a single cloud but rather use different clouds such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform along with Kubernetes. Wiz allows us to coordinate efficiently across these different teams and groups, which is why our organization relies heavily on this feature.

Wiz does not allow for tool consolidation in our environment; even though it has features for that, there is not a need to consolidate different tools because it functions very well with existing tools in our organization.

We have reduced alert fatigue in our organization due to Wiz's accuracy in managing alerts. I can approximate a reduction of approximately three to four hours in alert handling since Wiz provides alerts with minimal latency between the alerts and real-time notifications.

I advise others to choose Wiz because it stands out as an awesome tool that offers various benefits to organizations, and trying Wiz will undoubtedly benefit you. I have given this product a review rating of 9.5 out of 10.

Our primary use case for Wiz is Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Native Application Protection.

One of our clients was preparing for a security assessment, so Wiz identified an internet-facing EC2 instance with excessive IAM permissions and outdated software containing critical vulnerabilities. Instead of reviewing multiple security tools separately, Wiz correlated the exposure, vulnerability, and privilege information into a single risk finding. That allowed us to remediate the issue quickly before the audit.

We use Wiz daily to monitor cloud resources, investigate security findings, and prioritize remediation based on actual business risk instead of simply focusing on CVE severity.

The best features offered by Wiz are the Attack Path Analysis and the risk prioritization and agentless cloud security scanning.

The Security Graph and Attack Path Analysis have been the most valuable in our organization because rather than generating thousands of alerts, Wiz helps us to understand which findings represent real risk and should be addressed first.

Wiz has improved our visibility into cloud risk, reduced manual security assessments, and helped us prioritize remediation efforts more effectively.

It reduced the time spent investigating cloud security findings by around 40% and also accelerates the process of identification of critical cloud risk.

The findings from Wiz are generally accurate and well prioritized, and I appreciate that Wiz focuses on contextual risk rather than overwhelming us with every possible vulnerability.

More customizable executive dashboards can be created, and better reporting for non-technical stakeholders can also be improved in Wiz platform.

Overall, it is a mature platform and most enhancements I would like are around reporting automation and simplifying executive level reporting.

I have been using Wiz for approximately one and a half years.

Our companies are currently processing terabytes of data, and Wiz is very stable.

Wiz is very scalable, so there is no problem in that regard.

We have used the support services after purchase, and they are very good. Their teams are very knowledgeable and very supportive, and their team can handle all issues.

Customer support is very good, and they are very knowledgeable and always ready to help you out from any difficult situation or if you face any complexity in Wiz platform.

Before using Wiz, we relied on multiple tools for vulnerability scanning, cloud configuration checks, and cloud native security services. Each tool generated its own findings, so correlating risks required manual effort, but with Wiz, we get a unified view of combined vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed assets, IAM permissions, and runtime context all in a single platform.

Previously, we were using multiple tools for cloud security, cloud native application management, AWS monitoring, and similar tasks, but we wanted a single platform that encompasses all these capabilities, so we switched to Wiz.

Setup is very easy, and if you feel any difficulty while setting up anything, their support team is ready to help you out with that.

Customer support is very good, and they are very knowledgeable and always ready to help you out from any difficult situation or if you face any complexity in Wiz platform.

We have seen the ROI from this because it reduced our engineer's time by 50% and also saved time on addressing false positives, allowing us to be very confident in our posture.

The pricing is a bit higher than the market rate, but the value it provides is more valuable than the pricing. Setup is very easy, and if you feel any difficulty while setting up anything, their support team is ready to help you out with that. We are running it on a monthly license basis, so we have not purchased the enterprise version.

We have not evaluated any other option.

AI security posture management in the cloud is very important because risks are increasing, and to reduce the manual effort of every department, AI agents can be deployed in cloud security posture to directly find AI security as connected within the organization.

Wiz has reduced the alert fatigue in our organization, and if you are fully migrated with Wiz, within a week you can see the difference.

Before Wiz, we used Falcon as a runtime sensor, and after using Wiz, we are now 100% sure that Wiz's Runtime Sensor is very accurate and helped us to identify active threats more effectively compared to our previous solution.

Teams currently using multiple platforms for security assessments, compliance monitoring, cloud native application posture management, and cloud security posture management can directly switch to Wiz without any hassle, and it will be a very valuable decision for their teams.

Wiz is very scalable, so there is no problem in that regard.

Wiz is a very mature platform that we use daily as an end-to-end cloud management tool. 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. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.
