Movement

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

By model

How each model treated CoreView across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“I'd recommend CoreView (or a similarly focused, multi-tenant governance platform) as your primary governance and administration tool.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · M365 management · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“CoreView is the tool most frequently recommended in current 2026 buying guides as a strong choice for mid-market and enterprise IT teams” Muse Glimmer 30B · M365 management · direct prompt · first choice

“My default recommendation is CoreView if you mean a tool for both Microsoft 365 governance and day-to-day administration” GPT-6 Luna · M365 management · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“CoreView and Syskit Point are frequently recommended for mid-market and enterprise environments” Mistral Small · M365 management · paraphrase 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.

“powerful but enterprise-priced ... even then, it's far more affordable than alternatives like CoreView (which requires ~$20K/year minimum)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · M365 management · budget prompt · soft negative

“Some customers say workflow and playbook setup feels cumbersome, with confusing terminology” Claude Haiku 4.5 · M365 management · negative prompt · soft negative

“you do not need to purchase expensive enterprise suites like CoreView or Cayosoft” Gemini 3.5 Flash · M365 management · budget prompt · soft negative

“54% of customers are enterprise (may be overkill for smaller mid-market)” Kimi K2 · M365 management · direct prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named CoreView. 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 110 of the 114 answers that named CoreView and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page coreview.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

Names read as CoreView

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as CoreView; a claim can dispute any of them.

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 CoreView'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 CoreView, 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 CoreView by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where CoreView 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 CoreView, 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.

Badges

Wins only: a badge exists where CoreView is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.

ShowHide

AI models recommend CoreView first in Microsoft 365 management this edition. Each badge says so in the buyer's words, names the edition, and links to the standing. The next edition issues a new badge; this one stays true as a record of October 2026.
