- Prisma Cloud: 10 of 59 labels negative. "Reviewers frequently describe the platform as expensive, especially for smaller teams, and note that usage-based pricing can rise unexpectedly" (Muse Glimmer 30B, negative prompt)
- Trivy: 9 of 23 labels negative. "Standalone scanners such as Trivy or Grype as the entire program... They are poor substitutes for a complete enterprise control plane." (Perplexity Sonar, negative prompt)
