I think Tenable is very comparable and they are both leaders in this space. I evaluated both of them side-by-side and ultimately decided to go with Rapid7. Tenable did have a slight edge on the amount of information I was getting from the machines, but I landed on R7 because I …
Rapid7 InsightVM is more cost effective than the other solution on the market. It is easy to deploy and the user interface is easy to use and intuative. We select Rapid7 InsightVM mainly because it integrates well with ServiceNow compared to the other solution that were …
Rapid7 InsightVM is a more professional tool than NESSUS because historically, it was based on metasploit which is a powerful pentesting and exploiting tool. InsightVM covers more attacking scenarios and vulnerabilities than competitors and still a leader in this domain.cloud …
Nessus Pro does scans, but does not maintain an inventory from scan to scan. There is no history for a specific device, you have to look inside the results of each scan. Search across inventory is non-existent. There are no dashboards for data analysis. This is no tracking …
Tenable has a more refined look for the reporting that it provides as a result of scanning events, but Nexpose seems to have a better ability to help quantify risk and help prioritize the work needed to get the quickest security result for the team and the company. The Nessus …
Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security hub for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may …
After previously utilizing Orca and testing Tenable, we preferred Wiz over the competition. The reporting, usability, and feature-rich platform enabled us to investigate security risks and issues simultaneously.
As someone relatively new to the security space, coming from a software engineering background in identity, I don’t have deep experience across a wide range of security tools. That said, based on the products I have used—such as Palo Alto’s Cortex XDR, Panorama, GlobalProtect, …
Wiz is a solid solution over these other products, it has capabilities in all clouds that we utilize that others didn't have at the time. Its much easier to segment access than CrowdStrike as an example. Engineers quickly because familiar with the tool to help reduce the …
We chose Wiz over Tenable.io due to its agentless deployment, holistic security graph, and cloud-native focus. Wiz’s quick setup, intuitive interface, and advanced risk prioritisation provided actionable insights faster, making it a better fit for our multi-cloud environment.
We previously used Lacework but transitioned to Wiz as part of our effort to improve cloud security visibility and streamline risk management. While Lacework provided useful insights, we found that Wiz offered a clearer, more intuitive interface and better collaboration …
Tenable.io and Qualys are good just for vulnerability management. Wiz has very good capability to show all issues on single console and also it has provision to show them in different dashboards in different category. It shows cloud configuration gap, AWS cis benchmark gap and …
I think Rapid7 InsightVM is well suited for large enterprise customers with a lot of assets. It integrates well with a number of different ITSM solutions which I think is very good. There are not many CIS benchmarking tools on the market and Rapid7 InsightVM does a very good job at benchmarking. I think where Rapid7 InsightVM falls down a little is on false positive vulnerabilities. Sometime you there a few positive results on vulnerabily discovery. Tuning the settings for scan engines can sometimes be trick as well.
Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.
The API is also a great tool for us to automate lots of routine procedures like scan and report of asset(s) BY EMAIL.
Tagging. It helps sort out results and reports for respective assets Owner for remediation without a lengthy report including unnecessary information for that particular team.
SQL Reporting. It provides advanced reporting and export capabilities that you can not find in the stock report template.
Getting started with Wiz was quick and painless. The onboarding process was well-structured, and their team provided solid support to help us integrate Wiz into our cloud environments with minimal effort. Documentation is clear, and their customer success team is always on hand to help with any questions, making the adoption process seamless
One of Wiz’s biggest strengths is how clearly it presents security risks. It provides a well organised view of issues, making it easy to see where action is needed. The AI-powered Remediation Wizard is a great feature, offering guided fixes and automation options that speed up resolution, reducing the time spent manually investigating and fixing issues.
The Wiz interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a big plus when dealing with complex environments. Everything is laid out in a way that makes it simple to drill down into issues
Devices found and scanned are never removed. Removal must be done manually with no option for automation.
The database can be fragile. Ours quietly corrupted and progressively degraded until we had to restore and lose 6 months of data. Still didn't fix it and had to be rebuilt again losing all data.
Workflow for delegating remediation is supposed to be helpful, but can also become cumbersome.
Scheduling can become a nightmare if not monitored closely. We found jobs had failed to run because the server had gone offline. When the server came online, it did not try to run missed jobs. Running missed jobs all at once can overload the server, but searching for and launching a large number of missed jobs manually is a pain.
Wiz scanning doesn't detect risks in real time. New sensors are now included and these capabilities are growing. I believe that within a year Wiz will get good real time capabilities
Wiz can generate a lot of alerts, which can be overwhelming, especially if you have a very dynamic environment. It's important to set up filters so that you only receive alerts for the risks that are most important to you.
Wiz can improve the way it augments the vulnerability data with additional data on Technologies. It sometimes has missing technologies but updated its inventory as soon as we opened a case on that.
While I think it is a great tool and platform, I believe it (like all tools and solutions) is always evolving and the needs for clients are changing as the industry evolves and threats are upgraded. Cost is good, and support is helpful. Some things could be more granular and others could be easier to understand
The UI is very user-friendly, with documentation available on every page of the application. New users can learn about the product features as they navigate through several different pages, using the instructions at the top of each page, making it quite easy to use.
I gave it a seven due to the functionality and general ease of use after the initial setup headaches, but compared to Qualys, Rapid7 Nexpose falls short on features and ease of use. Their support drags this rating down a point as well. I have gone weeks with no update on semi-critical issues and typically have to make call after call to get a semi-coherent response.
I think Tenable is very comparable and they are both leaders in this space. I evaluated both of them side-by-side and ultimately decided to go with Rapid7. Tenable did have a slight edge on the amount of information I was getting from the machines, but I landed on R7 because I found the features of the InsightVM tool to be more useful. They both get the job done, but I found InsightVM a better experience to use on a day-to-day basis and had better quality of life features that I was looking for.
Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security HUB for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may provide more info and realtime security analysis of its services, but does not scale well with a growing organization looking to leverage amazing tools from other CSPs. Wiz may not have real time analysis or the most relevant vulnerability findings for cloud platforms compared to their native solutions, but Wiz scales extremely well, which in cases is a more valuable asset.
It certainly has a more positive impact than negative impact while performing the scans. Nexpose can find report vulnerabilities that our other scanner fails to identify during the scan because of its defined scan templates.
Also, even if the scan is not being performed due to some issues like reachability, whitelisting, etc. it will try to give scan results unlike QualysGuard which just marks the asset as unreachable.
We haven't completed a full rollout yet, but the goal is to shift left security to all of our product teams so that security is a shared effort across the organization.
We want to be able to demonstrate fast remediations, corrective action plans with tangibles from Wiz in response to audits or red team findings.
We would like to also use information from Wiz to substantiate answers to security questionnaires that customers requires us to fill out in order to do business with them.
