What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“1. FortiSOAR ... Fortinet is specifically designed for enterprise, mid-size, and small businesses, making it well-suited to your scale.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SOAR · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“If your stack is heavily Fortinet‑centric and you want seamless fabric integration: Choose FortiSOAR.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SOAR · direct prompt · alternative
“Choose FortiSOAR if your infrastructure is heavily reliant on Fortinet hardware/software.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SOAR · comparative prompt · alternative
“Suitable for Fortinet users and teams seeking broad automation at lower complexity” Llama 4 Maverick · SOAR · direct 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.

“High vendor lock-in. Bundled SOAR platforms naturally optimize for their parent vendor's ecosystem.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SOAR · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named FortiSOAR. 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 34 of the 40 answers that named FortiSOAR 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 FortiSOAR'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 FortiSOAR, 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 fortinet.com 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.
