VulniosvsWiz
A Wiz alternative without the six-figure entry ticket.
Wiz is the gold standard for cloud-native CSPM and CWPP — and it's priced like one. Vulnios runs checkov, kics, ScoutSuite, Trivy, and OSV-Scanner against your cloud accounts, plus orchestrates 43 other engines for vuln scanning, threat intel, OSINT, and dark web monitoring. Same SOC 2 Type II controls, $0 to start.

If your team is already deep in Wiz, this isn't a like-for-like swap. If you're sizing a first cloud-security platform and the Wiz quote arrived with sticker shock, run a free Vulnios scan against your AWS/GCP/Azure accounts and see what the gap actually is.
