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.
“Choose Checkmarx if you want a unified AppSec platform rather than a specialized SCA tool.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SCA · comparative prompt · alternative
“Unified AppSec with exploitability evidence and broad language support” Perplexity Sonar · SCA · comparative prompt · alternative
“Best for: Unified application security platform” Kimi K2 · SCA · comparative prompt · alternative
“Unified AppSec platform (SAST+SCA) | Checkmarx” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SCA · 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.
“Accuracy can vary by language, with some reviewers reporting higher false-positive volume in Kotlin projects” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SCA · negative prompt · soft negative
“without the enterprise complexity and cost of Black Duck or Checkmarx” Kimi K2 · SCA · direct prompt · soft negative
“SCA is often secondary—beware if pure SCA is your focus” Grok 4.20 · SCA · 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 Checkmarx SCA. 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 36 of the 38 answers that named Checkmarx SCA and are not a share of its labels.
