What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Best for: Enterprise AppSec teams scanning web apps + APIs. Runtime validation with strong auth + platform correlation.” Muse Glimmer 30B · DAST · comparative prompt · alternative

“Best for: Organizations wanting dynamic testing deeply unified with static (SAST) and open-source (SCA) analysis.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · DAST · comparative prompt · alternative

“Leaders like Invicti, Checkmarx DAST... score higher on accuracy” Grok 4.1 Fast · DAST · negative prompt · alternative

“If you want enterprise platform correlation: choose Checkmarx DAST.” Perplexity Sonar · DAST · 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.

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 Checkmarx DAST'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 Checkmarx DAST, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

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.
