We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI.""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.""I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts.""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.""The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature.""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.""The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution.""With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."

More Wiz Pros →

"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected.""The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability.""There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product.""The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable.""It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly.""The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines.""The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance.""Technical support is helpful."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Pros →

"The most valuable features of MVISION Cloud are the automatic reports and modification incidents.""The feature I like best about Skyhigh Security is its wide range of product support. For example, my company had NetApp storage running, and Skyhigh Security has on-premises NetApp storage support, which isn't available in other solutions. Skyhigh Security also has a better filtering feature versus the filtering feature in other solutions.""In terms of their compatibility with major cloud providers, in terms of their abilities, capabilities, and features, they exceed everyone's capabilities in the CASB market.""Good anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities.""The management is very good.""Offers a very strong URL spam filtering feature.""What's most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its level of security. Another valuable feature of the solution is threat analysis.""Without Skyhigh, we had zero visibility, but now we are aware of so much more."

More Skyhigh Security Pros →

Cons
"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.""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.""The solution's container security could be improved.""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.""One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging.""The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that.""The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved.""Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."

More Wiz Cons →

"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options.""There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage.""The only challenge lies in token verification.""CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive.""The UI part needs to be improved.""Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition.""One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal.""The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Cons →

"They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support.""Skyhigh Security, as a product, is excellent, but in terms of the right services and support, those are lagging very much, for example, in Trellix. From one hundred, its score has gone down to ten, so ten out of one hundred, otherwise, it's the number one product.""You can integrate Skyhigh's rules with Active Directory groups. For example, you can allow access to a specific website for a defined set of users. I can do that, but the rules are not straightforward. It can look up the group in Active Directory. However, it doesn't always find the proper group name. The rule configuration should be simpler and more granular. The admin should be able to map 80 groups in the rules quickly.""The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data.""They could be integrated with CASB. I think normally McAfee has this solution in the cloud, but for us the best is on-premise.""The pricing of the solution could be adjusted to make it more reasonable.""The performance of the tool can be improved to provide faster report generation.""The cloud needs improvement with respect to DLP."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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. 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."
  • "The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
  • "Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
