Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for CockroachDB yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you must guarantee 99.999% uptime and must host data locally across multiple continents: Choose CockroachDB Dedicated.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Managed databases · direct prompt · alternative

“designed to survive node, rack, or entire datacenter/region failures without taking the application offline” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Managed databases · comparative prompt · alternative

“Distributed SQL (NewSQL) engines like CockroachDB and YugabyteDB offer the horizontal scalability of NoSQL” Gemini 3.5 Flash · NoSQL · negative prompt · alternative

“Companies needing global distribution & high scalability” MiniMax M2.5 · Managed databases · paraphrase 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.

“The Distributed SQL Players (CockroachDB Dedicated...): Cons: Overkill for most workloads, expensive” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Managed databases · scale prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named CockroachDB. 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 19 of the 32 answers that named CockroachDB 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 CockroachDB'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 CockroachDB, 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 cockroachdb.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.
