September 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table vv2026-09.2, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

4 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. Cloudanix was named 4 times in CNAPP and 1 other category, where Wiz led with 46%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“It was built specifically for SMBs and mid-market teams.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · CSPM · budget prompt · alternative

“Known as an approachable, highly cost-effective CNAPP.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · CSPM · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“Cloudanix — Budget-Friendly Commercial Option” Kimi K2 · CNAPP · budget 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.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Cloudanix. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 7 of the 11 answers that named Cloudanix and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

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

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at cloudanix.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
