Pricing: Skyhigh Security has higher setup costs and expensive hardware, but reasonable licensing. Wiz has a fair and simple pricing model, but some have concerns about potential price increases and lack of transparency. Most reviewers rate Wiz's pricing as fair given its capabilities and features, while Skyhigh Security's affordability is positively reviewed.
ROI: Skyhigh Security provides improved security posture, reduced risk of data breaches, increased visibility and control over cloud usage, and streamlined compliance. On the other hand, Wiz helps with asset management, identifying vulnerabilities, and decentralized investigations.
Comparison Results: Wiz is the preferred choice over Skyhigh Security according to user reviews. It offers context and prioritization of risks, especially in the cloud, through its Security Graph feature. Non-technical teams find it accessible with automation roles and easy-to-read dashboards. Wiz's agentless scanning and inventory features are highly valued. While Skyhigh Security is a market leader in CASB and offers good protection, it lacks some features that Wiz provides like SD-WAN and preventive controls.
"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"PingSafe offers three key features: vulnerability management notifications, cloud configuration assistance, and security scanning."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to detect vulnerabilities inside AWS resources and its ability to rescan after a specific duration set by the administrator."
"We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"Cloud Native Security offers a valuable tool called an offensive search engine."
"PingSafe can integrate all your cloud accounts and resources you create in the AWS account, We have set it up to scan the AWS transfer services, EC2, security groups, and GitHub."
"PingSafe offers comprehensive security posture management."
"Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."
"The stability is the most valuable feature. We haven't had any issues with the product."
"The most valuable features of McAfee Web Gateway are anti-malware, reports, and powerful categorization of web pages."
"User analytics."
"I like the encrypted disk feature and the endpoint protection."
"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."
"Without Skyhigh, we had zero visibility, but now we are aware of so much more."
"The risk rating of each cloud application has been very useful. Whenever we discover a new application is use, we are able to quickly determine if this application is safe to use and whether or not we should allow our end users to be able to access it."
"What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability. The solution also has good KB articles that make it simple for users to do the deployment of Skyhigh Security themselves, without the need for integrators."
"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."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"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 solution is very user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want PingSafe to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."
"Whenever I view the processes and the process aspect, it takes a long time to load."
"There's an array of upcoming versions with numerous features to be incorporated into the roadmap. Customers particularly appreciate the service's emphasis on intensive security, especially the secret scanning aspect. During the proof of concept (POC) phase, the system is required to gather logs from the customer's environment. This process entails obtaining specific permissions, especially in terms of gateway access. While most permissions for POC are manageable, the need for various permissions may need improvement, especially in the context of security."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."
"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."
"They could be integrated with CASB. I think normally McAfee has this solution in the cloud, but for us the best is on-premise."
"One thing that can be improved is their ability to integrate with other web proxies to discover unsanctioned IP apps."
"The virtual solution requires improvement."
"Support for securing more cloud apps."
"De-tokenization."
"I think that the User Interface could be improved."
"The tool could improve flexibility with the creation of reports/querying data."
"Iron out the few bugs that I've seen."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
"The solution's container security could be improved."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
