What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Agentless Network Traffic Analysis (NTA); uses behavioral modeling, machine learning, and global threat intelligence” Mistral Small · NDR · comparative prompt · alternative
“Agentless Network Traffic Analysis NDR... Cisco Secure Network Analytics is noted as limited on ETA” Muse Glimmer 30B · NDR · comparative prompt · alternative
“| 5 | Cisco Secure Network Analytics | Cisco | Flow-scale coverage, platform integration |” Kimi K2 · NDR · comparative prompt · alternative
“If you're all-in on Cisco and need massive scale with minimal deployment → Cisco SNA” DeepSeek V4 Flash · NDR · 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.

“$75K–$300K+/year and best suited to Cisco-standardized networks” DeepSeek V4 Flash · NDR · budget prompt · hard negative
“Better for Cisco-heavy enterprises; pricing starts ~$75K” Kimi K2 · NDR · direct prompt · hard negative
“Be cautious with Cisco Secure Network Analytics (SNA) quotes tied to specific hardware, licenses, or older releases—not necessarily the whole platform.” GPT-6 Luna · NDR · negative prompt · soft negative
“more feature-rich but tend to be more expensive and may be better suited for larger enterprises with bigger budgets” Mistral Small · NDR · budget prompt · soft negative
