Congrats to to the Wiz team. Wiz is amazing. But, ugh, joining Google will result in less competition and all that entails. Not great for customers. It's a pity going public isn't worth it anymore.

#102This is the announcement of the completion of an acquisition that began a year ago.

#103The interesting part is that Wiz built its success largely on being cloud-agnostic. If Google keeps it that way, it becomes a strategic window into AWS and Azure workloads. If they don’t, they risk destroying the very advantage that made Wiz valuable in the first place.

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
It has vav which gets transliterated as v, u, o, or w. How does the average modern Hebrew speaker pronounce these company names in a sentence? Vix, Vayz, Viz? Is the "w" transliteration an example of Latin to Hebrew transliteration but not vice-versa?
It's pronounced the same as in English. Wiz, Waze, Wix. It's written with "double vav" in Hebrew, not just a single vav which would make it read as Viz.

#108Sort of like Wix... Wix also an Israeli company with an odd sounding name (although better then Wiz).

#109Great company, bad name. Pretty sure the company name was chosen by a non-native English speaker since it's an Israeli company after all. Sort of like Wix... Wix also an Israeli company with an odd sounding name (although better then Wiz).

What's wrong with the name Wiz?
