Featured Reviews

Francisco Javier Vergara - PeerSpot reviewer
SecOps Engineer at Iriusrisk
Automated scans have streamlined vulnerability workflows and now provide clear daily risk reports
In my experience, the best feature Aikido Security offers is its ease of use, as it was really easy to onboard our engineers into adopting Aikido Security in their day-to-day lives. The reason onboarding my engineers with Aikido Security was so easy is the user interface. The first thing our engineers see when they log in is a feed of vulnerabilities that their own repositories are affected by, which helps them focus only on their work at hand. I would also like to add that the integrations part is really useful, as all of the integrations we have added so far, mainly Jira, IDE, and API integrations, are really easy to use because they are backed by strong documentation that they maintain daily. This is a commendation to them. Aikido Security has positively impacted our organization by helping us reduce the complexity in managing our vulnerabilities. We now have a single source of truth with Aikido Security, allowing us to get rid of manually maintained automations that we previously had.

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility
I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since switching to Aikido Security, I have noticed a positive impact on my team's productivity with measurable results, as we now have measurements."
"Wiz has helped my organization achieve zero criticals in its issue queues after a month."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"What I appreciate most about Wiz is that the compliance and CSPM aspects of this cloud-native application protection offering are genuinely better than other products available in the market."
"Wiz is one of the finest tools that I have used so far, and it gives visibility to all the services based resources, which other tools do not give."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"One of the things that Wiz has done well is that there are no agents for the CSPM, at least from what we are doing, and it is very easy to roll out, easy to configure, maintain, and generally it does what it says it does with few issues."
"One feature I particularly appreciate about Wiz is that, similar to other cloud-native security tools like Microsoft's Defender for Cloud, it allows you to define policies as code and deploy them through a version control system with a continuous deployment pipeline."
"The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster."
 

Cons

"I think Aikido Security could be improved by addressing its Jira integration, which I feel needs a bit of work."
"An area that Wiz can still continue to improve is FinOps."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"I cannot recommend Wiz to others until I have a clear understanding of its full capacity and benefits."
"As the tool is a good fit for small and medium-sized businesses, the solution should focus on making the product suitable for large-scale businesses."
"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."
"Wiz does encounter some glitches similar to other tools in the market; I remember facing certain challenges, such as problems scanning encrypted disks or discrepancies in the findings from already remediated vulnerabilities not reflecting accurately in the tool."
"The reporting isn't that great. They have executive summaries, but it's only a compliance report that maps all current issues to specific controls. Whether you look at one subscription or project, regardless of the size, you will get a multipage report on how the issues in that account map to that control. Our CSO isn't going to read through that. He won't filter that out or show that to his leadership and say, "Here's what we're doing." It isn't a helpful report. They're working on it, but it's a poor executive summary."
"As for stability, we have seen some issues where our results changed radically from one day to the next, but we had not made radical changes, so we opened a case with support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."
