Standing

5 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. Beyond Identity was named 5 times in MFA, where Cisco Duo led with 42%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“HYPR / Beyond Identity = Best for passwordless workforce initiatives.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · MFA · comparative prompt · alternative

“Beyond Identity combines passwordless with device-trust signals” DeepSeek V4 Flash · MFA · comparative prompt · alternative

“Passwordless transition: HYPR or Beyond Identity” MiniMax M2.5 · MFA · comparative prompt · alternative

“Built passwordless from the ground up.” Kimi K2 · MFA · 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Beyond Identity. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 7 of the 7 answers that named Beyond Identity and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

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 Beyond Identity'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 Beyond Identity, 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 beyondidentity.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.
