Prisma Cloud DSPM vs Wiz DSPM

Check differences in scope, deployment and cost. Use the evaluation questions to resolve what the sources leave open.

Read each action with its limits. General capability and environment marks do not establish a specific workflow. Unconfirmed means support was not established in our research.

Capabilities, coverage, deployment, pricing and evaluation questions for Prisma Cloud DSPM and Wiz DSPM
ComparePrisma Cloud DSPMUpdated Wiz DSPMUpdated
ApproachPalo Alto Networks documents DSPM in Prisma Cloud and the newer Cortex Cloud documentation. Confirm the product edition, migration path and regional availability before using a feature list in procurement. [1] [2] [3]Wiz links sensitive-data findings to cloud identity and infrastructure risks. Its DSPM and entitlement analysis can help investigate who can reach sensitive data alongside the surrounding cloud configuration. [1]

AWS◐ Partial

Cortex documentation names S3 and self-managed databases. Confirm the complete AWS service list for your edition. [1]

◐ Partial

An AWS/GCP customer deployment documents S3 alongside data-bucket and database scanning. Confirm each AWS service and engine. [2]

Google Cloud◐ Partial

Cortex documentation names Cloud SQL scanning. Confirm supported engines and other GCP stores. [1]

◐ Partial

A customer deployment documents BigQuery and cloud database scanning. Confirm Cloud SQL engines and storage scope. [2]

Snowflake / Databricks◐ Partial

Prisma Cloud documents Snowflake scanning. Cortex release notes add Databricks, so coverage depends on product edition and release. [2] [3]

◐ Partial

Snowflake data, configuration and identity analysis are documented. Databricks is not established by these sources. [3]

Test in the evaluation
  1. Identify the exact product, edition and DSPM entitlement in the contract.
  2. Demonstrate each required connector in the region where you will deploy.
  3. Which data-security capabilities carry over when migrating from Prisma Cloud to Cortex Cloud?
  1. Show the difference between a user with permission and a user who actually accessed the data.
  2. Quote DSPM separately from required cloud-security and runtime components.
  3. Demonstrate how a sensitive-data finding changes the priority and remediation of a cloud risk.

Full refers to the documented scope above. It does not establish every control in every store. How coverage is assessed. Turn a coverage claim into an evaluation test.
