We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature.""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.""Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security.""The solution is very user-friendly.""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 first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."

More Wiz Pros →

"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time.""The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics.""Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS).""If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it.""The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well.""The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."

More Tenable Cloud Security Pros →

"The most valuable feature is its seamless integration capabilities, streamlining the process by eliminating the need for extensive installations.""This secure connection allows users to connect to the Zscaler VPN and access the resources on the office network, making it a highly valuable component of our system.""The agent's versatility is notable, used for digital experience monitoring to collect valuable endpoint metrics for troubleshooting.""The product provides a seamless user experience."

Cons
"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.""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.""The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved.""The solution's container security could be improved.""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.""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.""The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day.""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."

More Wiz Cons →

"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings.""If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors.""The product must provide more features.""I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets.""I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added.""Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."

More Tenable Cloud Security Cons →

"Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users.""Having a Zscaler-specific device could streamline this process and provide a more consistent user experience across diverse branches.""The product is not reliable.""Occasionally, there are certain delays in report generation."

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."
  • More Wiz Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The tool's pricing is fair."
  • "There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
