Movement

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

By model

How each model treated Elastic Security across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve 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.

“Open XDR platforms (like Elastic, Hunters, Stellar Cyber) offer: Better third-party integration, No vendor lock-in” Kimi K2 · XDR · negative prompt · first choice

“Elastic Security: Offers high-volume log analytics on a budget, with pricing starting from ~$95/mo (Cloud)” Llama 4 Maverick · SIEM · budget prompt · first choice

“I'd lean toward Microsoft Sentinel or Elastic Security depending on your existing infrastructure” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SIEM · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Best SIEM for a limited budget: Elastic Security” GPT-5.4 mini · SIEM · budget 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.

“One comparison explicitly says to avoid Elastic Security if you do not have the staff to manage it, because it "requires significant hands-on management."” Perplexity Sonar · EDR · negative prompt · hard negative

“Strong ecosystem, but a serious kernel-driver vulnerability highlights the importance of patching and driver vetting.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · EDR · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Elastic Security. 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 100 of the 119 answers that named Elastic Security 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 Elastic Security'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 Elastic Security, 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 elastic.co 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.
