Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for IBM QRadar yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Choose IBM QRadar if you operate in a heavily regulated industry needing out-of-the-box compliance coverage.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SIEM · comparative prompt · alternative

“QRadar is robust, highly customizable, and offers strong threat intelligence feeds.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SIEM · comparative prompt · alternative

“IBM QRadar is designed for regulated environments, though at a higher price point” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SIEM · direct prompt · alternative

“recognized for its strong correlation engine and enterprise-grade scalability” Mistral Small · SIEM · comparative 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.

“QRadar on Cloud, Cloud‑Native SIEM, SOAR, Log Insights – EOL 14 April 2026” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SIEM · negative prompt · hard negative

“Better suited for large enterprises ... complex to manage.” Kimi K2 · SIEM · paraphrase prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named IBM QRadar. 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 74 of the 99 answers that named IBM QRadar and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

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 IBM QRadar'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 IBM QRadar, 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 ibm.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.
