“Unified Cloud and Code Security Platform That Delivers Deep Context and Real Time Insight”

5.0
Aug 13, 2025
Implementing Wiz for our organization was remarkably straightforward, even with the multi-module setup of Wiz Defend, Wiz Code and Wiz Cloud. The deployment process was smooth and required minimal overhead, enabling us to quickly start leveraging its capabilities. The Wiz Code + Wiz Code integration, especially the Security Graph Explorer, is outstanding. It clearly visualizes connections from source code all the way to associated cloud resources. The end-to-end visibility has been instrumental in identifying resource distribution and pinpointing vulnerabilities across each layer of our environment. Wiz Defend stands out for its near real-time detection and contextual insights. It provides deep visibility into cloud, system and runtime events, enabling faster investigations without the inefficiency of querying multiple systems. Significantly reduced our MTTI and MTTR. Integration capabilities are another major strength. Wiz seamlessly connects with a wide range of tools across the stack - from IDEs, version control and CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes, cloud platforms, SOAR, ticketing tools and messaging platforms. This interoperability allows us to embed Wiz into our security and development workflows. Wiz Cloud's issue prioritization capabilities are another strength. The platform helps focus on the most critical misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, identify external attack surfaces, and implement targeted mitigations to strengthen the security posture. Overall, Wiz has delivered a unified, insightful and efficient security solution that bridges development and cloud operations, enabling us to proactively manage risk and improve our security maturity.

Wiz CNAPP Likes & Dislikes

Like

Wiz provides unmatched end-to-end visibility from code to cloud with a powerful Cloud Graph and near real-time threat detection, allowing us to quickly identify, prioritize and resolve security issues without jumping between tools. It also provides a seamless ability to click through each resource and immediately see deep context; an intuitive way to navigate from cloud resources high-level overview into its associated threats, risks, governance details and operational context. This makes it easy to fully understand each asset, assess its security posture and take informed action without leaving the platform.

Like

Wiz gives you a single pane of glass view of your cloud environments, plus code repos. It's a great capability to bring all your alerting and intelligence into one place. Bonus features like cloud cost visibility add to the value.

Like

The features we like most are the IAC code scanning that enabled us to check Terraform, CF and K8s manifests files and the ability to identify open-source libraries that are vulnerable and another feature we like most is its secret detection in the code repos and container images which helps us to prevent accidental exposure of API keys and tokens.

Dislike

I don't have any significant dislikes at the moment. If anything, I'd like to see even more customization in views. We create projects to provide tailored views for each team, allowing security champions to govern their cloud resources and drive remediation efforts. While this is possible in Wiz, it can be challenging for the central security team to oversee all cloud resources across team views because duplicate resources appear in multiple projects. This duplication can create inefficiencies when trying to get a consolidated picture. The core product is exceptional, but a feature streamline oversight across projects would make it even easier for the security team to maintain and strengthen the overall security posture

Dislike

There's a long learning curve to mastering alerting - until then you can easily be bombarded with thousands of alarms. It's easy to get lost in all the alerts, and as a smaller company you will need to be very pragmatic about your strategy and invest time in tuning things to get the right signal to noise ratio.

Dislike

One of the main dislikes is its price. Also, the interface, while clean, is so dense with telemetry and features that it takes a few months to understand and master.

    WIZ CNAPP: Complex Interface Present Challenges Despite Strong Scanning Capabilities

    4.0
    Dec 31, 2025
    Wiz CNAPP helps us secure everything we build and run in the cloud. Because it is agent-less, we don't have to worry about agent installation or issues where the agent prevents something from reporting correctly. We are using it to scan the resources running on AWS and it has performed exceptionally well under our current demand. Its support for IAC scanning is a standout feature which allows us to check the manifests for any misconfiguration. Since moving to microservices, we particularly value its ability to identify vulnerable open-source libraries and dependencies in our code.
