Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Consistently maintains vulnerability-free images and integrates effectively with builds
Trivy is very reliable and always has an up-to-date database to scan images and identify vulnerabilities. I integrated it with Jenkins jobs, so every time we run a build, if there is a high, critical, or medium vulnerability, the build is set to fail. This ensures that somebody resolves the issues before the code progresses. This approach helps keep every image in every project we work on vulnerability-free.

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

"Trivy's open source nature and wide functionality are incredibly valuable."
"It's customizable, allowing me to add any rules and format HTML templates as I wish."
"I can see vulnerabilities in the images of any applications deployed in the Kubernetes environment or as container applications."
"Trivy is most valuable for its ability to scan all repository files and dependencies."
"What I find valuable is the ease of setup with Trivy, including pre-defined operators that require minimal configuration."
"One of the great features of Trivy is that it helps me scan items such as AWS credentials and GCP service accounts."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
"It is open-source."
"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."
"Wiz has helped my organization by allowing us to analyze the critical issues and providing the best way to mitigate these issues with step-by-step guidance."
"The tool is very powerful in nature."
"The best features of Wiz are its security capabilities, providing the best security for pharmaceutical products and industries, along with the required dashboard containing customer details and inventory management features."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."
"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"If anyone wants to secure their infrastructure, cloud environment, or Kubernetes cluster, I would strongly recommend Wiz as a tool because it is easy to use and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"The reporting could be a little better. When integrating Trivy with CI, the interpretation of the reports could be improved."
"The reporting could be a little better."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities. Improvements could include better contextual analysis or granular filtering."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."
"We are still analyzing its behavior as we are in the midst of the implementation."
"Wiz can be improved with better maturity in code scanning and developer workflows, expanding secret detection to full lifecycle management, stronger IAM across multi-account environments, more transparent attack path scoring and risk modeling, improved AI and ML security scanning, reduced false positives in runtime threat detection, more fine-grained access control and tenant separation, and better integration for serverless workloads."
"We noticed some capabilities that were lacking, specifically ignoring some false-positive Issue findings. The good news - with the latest update, this has been resolved."
"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."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks."
"I cannot recommend Wiz to others until I have a clear understanding of its full capacity and benefits."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
"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."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
