What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Microsoft Defender for IoT (if you are a Microsoft shop) or Fortinet (if you use their network hardware) are the most successful starting points” Gemini 3.5 Flash · OT/IoT security · direct prompt · first choice

“Fortinet offers a cost-effective entry point with OT appliances starting at $2,200-$4,000” Claude Haiku 4.5 · OT/IoT security · budget prompt · first choice

“Start with Fortinet for network-based protection and segmentation” GLM 4.7 FlashX · OT/IoT security · direct prompt · first choice

“Fortinet is widely considered the most cost-effective option” Gemini 3.5 Flash · OT/IoT security · 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.

“may be better evaluated as infrastructure/security-control platforms than as best-in-class OT-native monitors” Perplexity Sonar · OT/IoT security · negative prompt · soft negative
