Movement

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

By model

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Designed specifically for organizations without a dedicated security team... at SMB pricing with a modular, per‑user model.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · XDR · budget prompt · first choice

“Best Overall Value: Coro ... frequently cited as the strongest choice for small-to-mid-sized businesses” Qwen 3.7 Flash · XDR · budget prompt · first choice

“For the tightest budget with limited resources, Coro appears to be specifically built for this scenario” MiniMax M2.5 · XDR · budget prompt · first choice

“If you're not a Microsoft shop, Coro is the best-priced purpose-built SMB option.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · XDR · 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.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Coro. 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 76 of the 88 answers that named Coro 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 Coro'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 Coro, 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 coro.net 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.
