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.

“or Forcepoint DLP if you need a unified policy engine that works across cloud, email, endpoints and on-premises systems” GLM 4.7 FlashX · DLP · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Proofpoint and Forcepoint are top-tier choices due to their comprehensive features and scalability” Mistral Small · DLP · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Forcepoint if you need stronger classic DLP controls across endpoints and web traffic” Perplexity Sonar · DLP · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Best for broad traditional enterprise DLP: Forcepoint or Symantec/Broadcom” Perplexity Sonar · DLP · 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.

“rarely the heavy, legacy enterprise suite (like Broadcom/Symantec or traditional Forcepoint). Those legacy tools are notorious for requiring multi-month deployments” Gemini 3.5 Flash · DLP · direct prompt · hard negative

“When to avoid: Large-scale hybrid environments or if you need low-maintenance AI-driven detection.” Grok 4.20 · DLP · negative prompt · hard negative

“What to Avoid for Tight Budgets - Enterprise suites (Forcepoint, Symantec, Proofpoint)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DLP · budget prompt · hard negative

“Recent peer feedback includes issues with agent stability and application control, especially with default Microsoft apps.” GPT-5.4 mini · DLP · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Forcepoint DLP. 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 160 of the 170 answers that named Forcepoint DLP and are not a share of its labels.

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 Forcepoint DLP'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 Forcepoint DLP, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Forcepoint DLP by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Forcepoint DLP is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Forcepoint DLP, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
