Security is a big field. I’m in the CSPM space and Wiz is a major player here, I actually had a bit of an existential crisis about what we were building when I first saw a demo of their platform.
Most of their competitors, like Palo Alto, have a very convoluted offering from gluing together several acquisitions. Wiz is very cohesive with a much nicer API and great UX, which is very underrated in the security space imo.
I have zero trust in Google’s promise to keep supporting the tool for multiple clouds or maintain the high quality of product design that makes Wiz great. It’s great for my job security, but I’d call it a net loss for the industry.
- debarshri 2y agoCSPM is very crowded space. There are quite some new and emerging providers. Wiz out of the scene opens up new opportunities.

- Sohcahtoa82 2y ago> Wiz is very cohesive with a much nicer API and great UX I actually don't care for Wiz's UX. If you're a manager and just want to get an idea of what your security posture looks like, it's great. They have a million dashboards for you. But if you're an AppSec Engineer that just wants to see which EC2 instances have which CVEs, it's kind of a pain in the pass and takes way too many clicks.

- Sohcahtoa82 2y agoI like the way InsightVM does it. There's a single button I click that'll list all my VMs, then a single click (usually a middle click to open a new tab) to view all the CVEs in each VM.

That is the space The performance matters much less than the UI And the UI sucks because if you know what your doing you can type a command But the people who write the cheques do not know that, and equate UI with GUI So we get Azure (where I found this) Squinting mousing and clicking a dozen times to do the equivalent of one rsync command....
