What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Option 1: The Best All-in-One Free Platform ... It is the only fully-featured, commercial-grade container security platform you can run entirely for free” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Container security · budget prompt · first choice
“Full-lifecycle (vuln mgmt, network segmentation, L7 firewall, IDS/IPS, compliance). Deploys in K8s; more integrated if you want a "platform" feel.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Container security · budget prompt · alternative
“SUSE NeuVector is the strongest budget-conscious platform mentioned in the results because it is also fully open-sourced” Perplexity Sonar · Container security · budget prompt · alternative
“Best fit: Teams that need enterprise-grade enforcement but want to avoid commercial licensing entirely.” Kimi K2 · Container security · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“SUSE acquiring NeuVector... these consolidated ... platforms ... present specific challenges” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Container security · negative prompt · soft negative

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when SUSE NeuVector's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as SUSE NeuVector, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at suse.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
