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.
“like vPenTest or Astra Pentest. These are generally cheaper than fully manual consulting and are designed for SMBs.” GPT-5.4 mini · PTaaS · budget prompt · first choice
“Astra Security – Best overall, offering web and mobile applications, cloud infrastructure, API, and network testing.” Mistral Small · PTaaS · comparative prompt · first choice
“1. Astra Security - Price: Starting at ~$1,999/year ... expert remediation included, strong compliance support” Kimi K2 · PTaaS · comparative prompt · first choice
“Best for True Manual Pentesting & Compliance: Astra Pentest” Gemini 3.5 Flash · PTaaS · budget 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.
“Frequent complaints on G2 about slow scans, poor UI/UX, instability, and unresponsive support” Grok 4.20 · DAST · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Astra Security. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 90 of the 90 answers that named Astra Security and are not a share of its labels.

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 Astra Security'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 Astra Security, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Astra Security by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Astra Security is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name Astra Security, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
