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 remains the EDR/XDR market leader heading into 2026, anchored by a lightweight single agent, cloud-native architecture, and the OverWatch threat-hunting team” Claude Haiku 4.5 · EDR · comparative prompt · first choice
“I'd recommend CrowdStrike Falcon if you want the strongest overall balance of detection, response, and operational simplicity at mid-market scale.” Perplexity Sonar · EDR · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Consistently a Leader in Gartner (highest Ability to Execute and furthest for Completeness of Vision for the 5th year); ~18-22% market share.” Grok 4.20 · EDR · comparative prompt · first choice
“CrowdStrike Falcon is a market-leading, cloud-native EDR/XDR platform with a unified agent and strong AI-powered detection.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · EDR · comparative 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.
“Premium options like CrowdStrike Falcon (~$100+/endpoint/year) ... are more expensive and enterprise-focused—skip unless scaling up.” Grok 4.20 · EDR · budget prompt · soft negative
“Evaluate CrowdStrike carefully — while detection is excellent, the 2024 outage revealed critical supply chain risks” Kimi K2 · EDR · negative prompt · soft negative
“Note: Usually the most expensive option on the list, and tends to favor larger enterprises, but highly capable.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · EDR · scale prompt · soft negative
“Avoid CrowdStrike if budget is tight — while the entry price is competitive, costs escalate quickly” Kimi K2 · EDR · budget prompt · soft negative
