By framing
What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Choose Global Relay if you want a regulated-firm-focused archive with especially strong unified capture and surveillance across channels.” GPT-5.4 mini · Comms archiving · comparative prompt · first choice
“Smarsh or Global Relay offer the best balance of comprehensive features, proven reliability, and scalability.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Comms archiving · direct prompt · first choice
“For broad multichannel compliance, start with Smarsh and Global Relay” GPT-6 Luna · Comms archiving · comparative prompt · first choice
“I'd suggest evaluating Smarsh or Global Relay first” MiniMax M2.5 · Comms archiving · direct 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.
“Enterprise-grade compliance giants like Smarsh or Global Relay are often too expensive and complex for tighter budgets.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Comms archiving · budget prompt · soft negative
“significant download costs that effectively hold archived records hostage when switching vendors” Kimi K2 · Comms archiving · negative prompt · soft negative
“customers report auto-renewal problems and difficulty canceling services they no longer need” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Comms archiving · negative prompt · soft negative
“notoriously complex to implement and often charge heavy fees for "connectors"” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Comms archiving · direct prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page globalrelay.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read October 5, 2026.

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 Global Relay'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 Global Relay, 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 Global Relay by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Global Relay 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 Global Relay, 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.
