Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“better if your environment has complex identity requirements, LDAP integration, or enterprise-grade reporting needs” Perplexity Sonar · MFA · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Regulated environments tightly coupled to IBM security/compliance tooling: IBM Security Verify.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Workforce identity · comparative prompt · alternative
“IBM Verify (formerly IBM Security Verify) for Regulated industries needing compliance” Muse Glimmer 30B · CIAM · comparative prompt · alternative
“IBM Security Verify | Leader | Regulatory compliance, risk-based access control” MiniMax M2.5 · CIAM · 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.
“Users have reported multiple issues including system breakdowns with delayed support responses, and as a legacy tool, it has limitations” Claude Haiku 4.5 · IGA · negative prompt · soft negative
“Verdict: Be highly cautious. Adopting these platforms often results in slow deployment cycles, high professional services bills” Gemini 3.5 Flash · CIAM · negative prompt · soft negative
“It is robust but can be expensive and resource-intensive to maintain.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · PAM · comparative prompt · soft negative

ShowHideProductSame answerTook the first choice insteadHead to head
A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named IBM Verify. 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 79 of the 81 answers that named IBM Verify 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 Verify'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 Verify, 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 Verify by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where IBM Verify 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 Verify, 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.
