Sysdig vs. Wiz

Automatically prioritizes the most critical security risks by layering context from attack path analysis, real-time detections, and in-use vulnerable packages – all powered by runtime insights.

Highlights risky combinations of misconfigurations, permissions, and vulnerabilities within its UI, but lacks runtime context to prioritize risk.

Detects and responds to threats in real time anywhere in the cloud with 360-degree visibility and correlation across workloads, identities, cloud services, and third-party applications. Scales environments to 100k+ nodes with purpose-built agents.

Provides primitive real-time detection for containers and Kubernetes and offers limited scope and performance.

Consolidates security with an end-to-end detection approach combining drift control, ML, and Falco detections, curated by the Sysdig Threat Research Team. It combines agent and agentless for best-in-class detection.

Lacks multi-layered detection that combines breadth and depth. Without tried and tested real-time visibility, it can’t stop zero day or unknown threats.

Provides a seamless user experience and powerful generative AI natural language queries. Multi-domain correlation uncovers hidden attack paths in the riskiest combinations of vulnerabilities, configurations, entitlements, and runtime.

Oversimplifies its UI and constrains the user experience with inflexible workflows. Overly focuses on CXOs, and not security practitioners.

Powered by Falco, a CNCF graduated project and the open source solution for cloud threat detection.

Wiz is a closed proprietary solution with no control or customization options available to its customers.
