Standing
3 labels, too few to rank
A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. IBM Robotic Process Automation was named 3 times in RPA, where Microsoft Power Automate led with 51%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Standing by category

Every category where a model named IBM Robotic Process Automation for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

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

By model

How each model treated IBM Robotic Process Automation across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

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.

“would be UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or IBM Robotic Process Automation” Llama 4 Maverick · RPA · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“IBM RPA is also called out as a strong mid-sized option for scalability and enterprise-grade reliability.” Muse Glimmer 30B · RPA · 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.

“a reason to examine upgrade plans and support terms before adopting v23 for a new long-lived system—not necessarily to avoid IBM RPA altogether” GPT-6 Luna · RPA · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named IBM Robotic Process Automation. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 13 of the 13 answers that named IBM Robotic Process Automation 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 IBM Robotic Process Automation'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 Robotic Process Automation, 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 IBM Robotic Process Automation by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where IBM Robotic Process Automation 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 IBM Robotic Process Automation, 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.
