“Great product but post-sales support needs improvement”

3.0

Apr 23, 2025

The initial conversations and demos went well. We were pleased with the product and were happy to move forward with procurement. However, since that point, there has been minimal support and engagement from Wiz. We met with our account rep and he had indicated we would be able to schedule training for end users - this was never followed up on. Furthermore, I had specific questions about the Outpost deployment that went unanswered. Finally, during conversations about our needs, I had mentioned that we had resources in an unsupported cloud provider that we wanted visibility for. The Wiz sensor product was mentioned and it seemed to fit our needs, but this was left off the contract unbeknownst to us, and we only found out after signing. When I asked our sales rep about this, I was met with an unhelpful reply, putting the blame on us for not realizing it sooner. We do like the product, but it's a shame the post-sales experience is disappointing.

Performance of Wiz CNAPP Across Market Features

Wiz CNAPP Likes & Dislikes

The API first nature of the product allows us to build and maintain the system in IaC which allows us to keep our configuration up to date, and the context aware severity ensures we're only alerting teams to issues that are relevant and require their attention to resolve. The setup process allows us to take a phased approach, initially ensuring we have coverage across our estate, and then enabling additional features as our maturity grows. The code to cloud feature helps us discover the right level of the tech stack to implement the resolution, and as we gain further confidence in the product, the ability to set up auto-remediation via pull requests looks like it will be a big win for us.

- Easy to use UI/UX - Direct integration with AWS - Various lenses for security, compliance, etc

- Very intuitive UI and fast time to value - Strong graph-based context that helps connect findings across cloud assets, exposures, etc - Good visibility for cloud and k8 env.

Ignoring issues outside of the global ignore rules (i.e. using a .wiz file) feels very immature compared to the rest of the product. The IDE integration also lacks some basic features like the ability to see rule IDs to build out the aforementioned ignore rules. Ownership of repos again could do with some work, it's not easy to map repos to projects without jumping through hoops such as resource tagging rules.

- It's difficult to know which features are included in which SKU and whether or not we need them - After sales support is lackluster

- Alert and findings volume can still be high at scale, so prioritizing and noise reduction could be stronger - Some teams may want deeper customization in workflows, policy tuning and reporting

A+ so far

Feb 10, 2026

As a repeat customer of Wiz over different organizations its very easy to use and integrate while offering a lot of information available through different "lenses". In security while working with developers the ease of use is a major factor to how quickly issues get resolved. I also highly appreciate the ability to get in touch with a real human quickly when I have an issue and open a support ticket.

Wiz delivered visibility across our AWS environment faster than any security tool we've deployed

Apr 27, 2026

As a CISO, finding a cloud security platform that delivers both breadth and usability is rare. Wiz has been one of the most seamless security tool deployments we've experienced. Onboarding was fast, implementation was straightforward, and our team was surfacing real findings within days, not weeks. For an organization running on AWS, it has been an essential part of our security posture.

Streamlined Remediation and Reduced Alert Fatigue Through Integrated Security Controls

Feb 3, 2026

As a Cloud Security Professional at a Financial Institution, I can confidently say Wiz has fundamentally improved how we manage Cloud Security Risks. The contextualized risk issues connect the dots between misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, excessive permissions, and network exposure. This allowed us to prioritize remediation accordingly and effectively reduce risk to the business, while also reducing alert fatigue. It also allowed us to implement robust build-time controls to catch issues before they reach deployment, by incorporating Wiz CLI into our CI/CD pipelines.
