Published Oct 15, 2026
| Starting Price | Quote-based (annual); AWS Marketplace PAYG for Enterprise Kyverno with a per-node-per-hour unit price listed in marketplace | Open source (implementation cost); enterprise support via vendors varies | Pricing typically enterprise quote-based; public details limited |
| Typical use case | Organizations standardizing on Kyverno needing centralized governance, reporting, exceptions, GitOps remediation, and LTS/support | Teams using Rego/OPA for policy enforcement across environments | Organizations seeking broader CNAPP functionality including runtime and vulnerability management |
| Key strength | Kyverno-native policy model, enterprise distribution and support, centralized governance and workflows | Mature policy ecosystem with Rego; flexible and expressive policy language | Broad security coverage across cloud-native stack: posture, runtime detection, and vulnerability management |
| Key weakness | Value proposition closely tied to Kyverno; public review volume is limited in accessible sources; enterprise pricing is primarily quote-based | Rego has a learning curve and may be heavier for teams preferring YAML-native policies | May be more comprehensive than required for organizations seeking only governance-focused tooling |
