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.
“Highly recommended for mid-market teams needing multilayered protection with managed response.” Mistral Small · MDR · direct prompt · first choice
“Low entry barrier; solid for tiny teams but less human-led than Huntress.” Grok 4.20 · MDR · budget prompt · alternative
“Best "Add-On" MDR ... you can upgrade to their respective MDR services” Gemini 3.5 Flash · MDR · 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.
No model argued against it.

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ESET PROTECT MDR. 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 18 of the 18 answers that named ESET PROTECT MDR and are not a share of its labels.
