Featured Reviews

Dhruv Vaghasiya - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at Titanslab Inc.
Continuous assessments have strengthened our cloud security posture and compliance readiness
Prowler would benefit from improvements in dashboards and visualization. Currently, dashboards are only available for the default configuration. If Prowler could provide custom dashboards and querying into our data, it would be more useful for organizations. Additionally, more automated suggestions and reporting customization would be valuable. Currently, Prowler only provides PDF reports for their default posture and does not provide reports for frameworks like SOC 2 Type 2. While the scanning capabilities are strong, the most significant improvements would focus on visualization, automation, and enterprise workflow integration. Deeper integration with ticketing tools and SIEM tools would enhance the platform's value. Stronger enterprise reporting and automated remediation capabilities would add significant value to Prowler.
Peter Whelan - PeerSpot reviewer
CISO at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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

"Using Prowler scans is definitely very helpful."
"Prowler has positively impacted my organization by helping us on the security front by improving compliance."
"Prowler has positively impacted our organization by improving our security posture, increasing visibility into our cloud misconfigurations, and helping us strengthen our compliance processes."
"Prowler offers real-time scanning, which is crucial when improving our cloud security posture, as updates can be immediately reflected on the scoreboard."
"Prowler has saved us a lot of time, as our engineers previously wasted time manually checking all the configurations of cloud resources maintained in Excel sheets; after switching to Prowler, we save 60 to 70% of our engineers' time, as they no longer need to check each cloud account and resource individually."
"Prowler has positively impacted our organization by improving our security posture, increasing visibility into our cloud misconfigurations, and helping us strengthen our compliance processes."
"Before using Prowler, we were spending hours of our engineers' efforts on compliance and misconfiguration checks, saving that configuration in Excel sheets, and after switching to Prowler, these processes are super smooth and easy, and we are currently saving our engineers' time."
"Wiz has helped me consolidate some tools, as it is not just doing the job of the security tool alone, and we do not need to invest in multiple tools because all aspects such as infrastructure, application, vulnerabilities, and the regular security scoring patterns are in-built into Wiz along with the inventory manager."
"The tool is very powerful in nature."
"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."
"Wiz helps to identify active threats more effectively as it does active scanning on workloads, keeps looking into logs and images of virtual machines, and upon detecting threats, it checks possible connections through events and logs, giving visibility into where the issue started and exactly where it is."
"Overall, it helps strengthen our cloud security posture and manage risks more proactively."
"Overall, Wiz Code is a very good tool to use in any organization, whether mid-level or high-level, and it is very useful and user-friendly for employees."
"The best features with Wiz Code give you a reasonable picture when it comes to vulnerabilities, which means you see the usual severity levels, you also get to see references on how to remediate vulnerabilities, and the fact that it has a visual dashboard helps all stakeholders, especially folks who need to remediate, to get that picture correctly and then take action."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."
 

Cons

"I do have one pain point using Prowler. Every time I use Prowler to output results, they have three formats available: CSV, HTML, and JSON."
"I give Prowler a score of seven or eight due to its inclusion of multiple security policies and the lack of a feature for adding false positives."
"Some of the findings in Prowler are not that critical but come in the critical category, so that could be improved."
"For the reports, Prowler does not provide PDF reports for all compliances; it only gives reports for the Prowler configuration."
"One limitation is that after scanning the cloud account, Prowler provides reports of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO certified, but we only receive an Excel sheet; I think a PDF report along with remediation steps is needed to help us improve our cloud accounts better."
"Prowler would benefit from improvements in dashboards and visualization."
"Prowler would benefit from improvements in dashboards and visualization."
"Once you get a threat and fix it, to see that fix reflected in Wiz, you have to wait 24 hours. That is something I am not happy with."
"Sometimes it is a very big concern and a big headache for the customer because it finds a lot of findings that could be false positives."
"One area I would like to see improved is the user experience around complex findings, as having more contextual guidance on why an issue is important and the recommended remediation steps would make it easier for newer team members to act on findings."
"The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."
"Metadata ingestion and probably the integration of Wiz Code platform is something which is missing."
"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."
"I have seen some lagging or downtime a couple of times, but I am not sure why it happened."
"Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
