Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“CrowdStrike Falcon: Best for SMBs and mid-market organizations that want strong prevention-first endpoint protection with low system impact” Llama 4 Maverick · XDR · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“or CrowdStrike Falcon if you want best-in-class endpoint detection with flexibility. Both have strong B2B use cases” MiniMax M2.5 · XDR · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Microsoft Defender XDR for Microsoft-centric companies, otherwise CrowdStrike Falcon XDR.” GPT-5.4 mini · XDR · direct prompt · first choice
“CrowdStrike is widely considered the market leader in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).” Qwen 3.7 Flash · XDR · 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.
“Avoid / be cautious if you have low tolerance for kernel-level risk, need predictable per-endpoint pricing, or have a junior SOC that can’t absorb a steep UI.” Muse Glimmer 30B · XDR · negative prompt · soft negative
“Do not buy a "DIY" XDR platform (like raw CrowdStrike Falcon or Palo Alto Cortex XDR) unless you have at least 2–3 dedicated, certified security analysts” Gemini 3.5 Flash · XDR · direct prompt · soft negative
“modular pricing accumulates quickly across the XDR surface and Falcon sensor deployment is required for full XDR data fidelity on endpoints.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · XDR · negative prompt · soft negative
“More expensive and less flexible on pricing for mid-market volumes... Better suited for enterprises with dedicated threat hunting teams” Kimi K2 · XDR · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
