Most CNAPP vendor comparisons read like analyst-firm reports (paid by the vendors). This 5-question quiz scores Wiz, Sysdig, Orca Security, and Build-Your-Own (Prowler + Trivy + Falco stack) against YOUR cloud platform, team security capacity, workload mix, and budget. Operator-honest scoring. No kickback structure either way.
Pick the answer that fits your situation. Click "Reveal Match" when done. Pure-client-side — nothing sent to any server. No email gate, no Calendly. Operator-honest scoring.
Each vendor wins a different scenario. The matchmaker quiz scores all 4 against your specific situation; below is the use-case map for context.
Best for: Agentless across AWS / GCP / Azure / OCI · widest cloud coverage · strong CVE → exploit-path scoring · highest enterprise marketshare · sales-led but technical depth real
Trade-offs: Highest price tier · enterprise minimums · overkill for sub-50 person teams · sales cycle longer than mid-market alternatives
Best for: Best-in-class runtime detection (Falco roots) · top-tier Kubernetes coverage · strong drift detection · agent-based for runtime depth · transparent pricing
Trade-offs: Agent-based = more deployment work · less breadth than Wiz on the agentless side · best when k8s is the dominant workload
Best for: Agentless via SnapShot · cheaper than Wiz for similar coverage · faster deployment than agent-based platforms · single-pane CNAPP
Trade-offs: Less established than Wiz in enterprise procurement defaults · SnapShot approach has detection latency vs runtime agents · smaller marketshare
Best for: $0 vendor cost · open-source (Prowler for AWS posture · Trivy for image scanning · Falco for runtime · custom dashboards) · full control · works for crypto-native or compliance-sensitive shops avoiding US vendor risk
Trade-offs: Engineering time cost · maintenance burden compounds · monitoring + alerting from scratch · best when security engineering is dedicated function not a side responsibility

Sometimes the quiz score and the right answer for YOUR specific stack don't match. Operator-to-operator sanity-check in 5 messages. No Calendly, no email capture, no auto-funnel.
