Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“1. Arctic Wolf ... making it especially popular with mid-market organizations that want enterprise-level security operations without building a full SOC.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · MDR · direct prompt · first choice
“The Best Overall Recommendation: Arctic Wolf ... is usually the safest bet for a "set it and forget it" partnership model” GLM 4.7 FlashX · MDR · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“### 1. Arctic Wolf (Best for "Concierge" Support) Arctic Wolf is frequently rated highly for mid-market organizations” Qwen 3.7 Flash · MDR · direct prompt · first choice
“Arctic Wolf is the safest default for a mid-market B2B company that wants a fully managed SOC-style experience” Perplexity Sonar · MDR · direct prompt · first choice
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.
“Excellent quality, but requires ~$25K–$44K minimum annual contract—not great for small budgets” DeepSeek V4 Flash · MDR · budget prompt · soft negative
“or Arctic Wolf (~$44K/year minimum, or $60–$100/user/year)” Grok 4.20 · MDR · budget prompt · soft negative
“higher‑touch support, but premium price” GLM 4.7 FlashX · MDR · budget prompt · soft negative
