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.
“Consider: Check Point, Cisco Secure Firewall, or Sophos XGS for balanced security and manageability.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Firewalls · negative prompt · first choice
“the market leaders (Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, or Check Point) remain the benchmark” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Firewalls · negative prompt · first choice
“start with Palo Alto or Check Point for a security- and policy-focused evaluation” GPT-6 Luna · Firewalls · comparative prompt · first choice
“Three of the seven firewalls achieved *Recommended* ratings: Check Point, Juniper Networks, and Versa Networks.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Firewalls · negative 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.
“Strong prevention (99.95% in some tests), but "Neutral" in 2026 cloud tests due to high price per Mbps.” Grok 4.20 · Firewalls · negative prompt · soft negative
“Check Point environments where upgrade discipline is weak” GPT-5.4 mini · Firewalls · 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 Check Point Quantum. 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 87 of the 94 answers that named Check Point Quantum and are not a share of its labels.
