What the models said about Trivy

Every negative label with a quote, up to three, then the highest-weighted positives, up to three. Five of six in this category shown.

“Avoid for most mid-market cases: Pure open-source like Trivy alone (great scanner but lacks platform features)” Grok 4.20 · direct prompt · hard negative
“Tools such as Trivy, Grype, and Snyk Container are useful for image and dependency findings, but they do not by themselves detect runtime attacks” Perplexity Sonar · negative prompt · soft negative
“Snyk or Trivy (with add-ons): Developer-friendly for scanning/shift-left, but may need pairing with a runtime tool like Falco for full coverage.” Grok 4.20 · scale prompt · soft negative
“Choose Open Source (Trivy/Falco) if you have DevOps engineers who enjoy building internal tooling and want zero vendor lock-in.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · budget prompt · first choice
