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.
“Checkmarx One (Leader) - Strengths: Highest ranking on Frost Radar Growth Index (21.3% market share in 2024), leads in innovation” MiniMax M2.5 · ASPM · comparative prompt · first choice
“Checkmarx One (Gartner/Forrester Leader): Enterprise-grade with deep dataflow/taint analysis... Checkmarx for banks” Grok 4.20 · SAST · comparative prompt · first choice
“an enterprise-grade scanner (like Checkmarx or Fortify) for nightly full-scan reports and compliance auditing.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SAST · comparative prompt · first choice
“Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for 7 consecutive years... Best For: Large enterprises, portfolio-level governance” Kimi K2 · SAST · comparative 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.
“What I'd Avoid for Mid-Market: Checkmarx and Veracode are powerful but typically start at $60K–$100K+/year” Kimi K2 · SAST · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“Avoid: Traditional enterprise ASPM platforms (Checkmarx, Fortify, Apiiro)” Kimi K2 · ASPM · budget prompt · hard negative
“be especially cautious with legacy configurations of Checkmarx, Fortify/OpenText, and SonarQube for security use cases unless they are heavily tuned” Muse Glimmer 30B · SAST · negative prompt · soft negative
“Legacy enterprise | Checkmarx, Veracode, Fortify | Deep compliance... unless you have specific compliance requirements that mandate legacy tools” Kimi K2 · SAST · scale 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 Checkmarx One. 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 245 of the 270 answers that named Checkmarx One 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 Checkmarx One'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 One, 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 Checkmarx One by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Checkmarx One 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 Checkmarx One, 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.
