How on earth does buying Wiz force other developers to move? I think the tinfoil is too tight.
- disgruntledphd2 2y agoThere's no force but Google can now leverage the data from Wiz to target good customers for other services.
- savanaly 2y agoHow is this not a good thing for everyone involved? Or am I wrong for reading the comment in a tone that I perceived to be critical?
- disgruntledphd2 1y agoI dunno, I don't like the anti-trust implications (using Wiz data to target companies on AWS/Azure) but other than that I don't really care. That's probably cos I am far away from this space.
- stevenAthompson 2y agoIt doesn't force them to move, it just gets Google the information about how you use competitors products so they can out negotiate them come deal time.
- stackskipton 2y agoWiz itself doesn’t. But Wiz knows what is going on in everyone cloud. That data could be fed to GCP sales team though customers might riot if that happens.
- creaghpatr 2y ago>That data could be fed to GCP sales team though customers might riot if that happens Large enterprises don't sign the stock terms and conditions that would enable this, most do or should have legal teams redlining contracts around how cloud data is accessed and used by vendors. Maybe Wiz is so good they would agree to it, but it would get challenged and negotiated during the sales cycle.
- isoprophlex 2y agoClients can have their lawyers jump up and down but the data is there, you just KNOW the mothership gonna use it. All they need is some obfuscation and plausible denyability. It's just too good to not use it.

- acdha 2y agoThey don’t need to force people, just make them a very good targeted offer. This is also great for seeing which features their customers use most to help GCP catch up to the competition, too.
