Best cloud workload protection for a 5-eng team on a budget

Hey everyone 👋 I'm new to my team's cloud setup and I've been tasked with looking into cloud security tools. We're a small team of 5 engineers managing a few AWS accounts, some containers on ECS, and a bit of serverless (Lambda).

We need something for workload protection, but our budget is pretty tight. I see Wiz mentioned a lot, but it seems like it's for bigger companies?

Could someone break down if Wiz is a good fit for a small team like us? Mainly:
- How does the pricing work for a small scale?
- Is it beginner-friendly to set up and run daily?
- What's the biggest alternative we should compare it to?

I'm trying to avoid overkill tools that need a full security team to manage. Any real-world experience would be super helpful!
