Sentra vs Wiz DSPM

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

Capabilities, coverage, deployment, pricing and evaluation questions for Sentra and Wiz DSPM
CompareSentraUpdated Wiz DSPMUpdated
ApproachSentra classifies cloud data, analyzes sharing permissions and alerts on suspicious data activity. Its scanning architecture allows both customer-owned and Sentra-owned scanner accounts. [1] [2]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]

Microsoft 365? Unconfirmed? Unconfirmed
AWS◐ Partial

S3, DynamoDB and Bedrock data are named. Validate the complete AWS service list and each scan mode. [1]

◐ Partial

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

Google Cloud? Unconfirmed◐ Partial

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

Snowflake / Databricks? Unconfirmed◐ Partial

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

On-prem shares◐ Partial

File shares are included in the AWS product description. Protocol and appliance support require confirmation. [1]

? Unconfirmed
SaaS apps◐ Partial

Claude Enterprise projects, conversations and files can be scanned through the Anthropic Compliance API. [3]

? Unconfirmed
Deployment and data handling

Sentra documents cloud-native API connections and scanners typically placed in the customer cloud with read-only permissions. [2]

Account ownership
Both Sentra-owned and customer-owned scanner accounts are supported.
Data location
The trust page states analysis stays in the region where data was discovered. Confirm the selected deployment.
Not established in the reviewed sources.
Pricing

Pricing was not established in the reviewed sources.

Pricing was not established in the reviewed sources.

Test in the evaluation
  1. Specify which account owns every scanner and where extracted samples and metadata are retained.
  2. Compare full and sampled scans on the same store and disclose skipped data.
  3. Demonstrate an exfiltration alert and the action an operator can take from it.
  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.
