Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 41 of the 42 answers that named IBM InfoSphere MDM and are not a share of its labels.
192 of the 192 domain citations in answers naming IBM InfoSphere MDM came from somebody else's page.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.
Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read October 5, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.
An email the morning each edition publishes: where this product moved, where it held, and by how much against the noise floor. One address, confirmed by a click; a stop link in every email.

A claimed page can correct any of them.
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data.

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