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.
“starting with a pilot of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint ... or Bitdefender GravityZone (if you want simplicity and cost predictability)” Kimi K2 · Endpoint protection · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Bitdefender GravityZone offers the best balance of detection rates, ease of use, and management overhead for most mid-market B2B companies” MiniMax M2.5 · Client-side protection · direct prompt · first choice
“such as ESET, Bitdefender, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, which generally balance detection, low latency” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Endpoint protection · negative prompt · first choice
“the two most highly recommended solutions are Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Bitdefender GravityZone” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Endpoint protection · paraphrase 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.
“may not be best for teams needing highly customized reports or fully managed security services” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Endpoint protection · 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 Bitdefender GravityZone. 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 99 of the 105 answers that named Bitdefender GravityZone and are not a share of its labels.
