Movement

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

By model

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.

“I'd recommend starting with the open-source combination of Kubescape and Falco as your Kubernetes security foundation” Grok 4.1 Fast · Container security · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“I'd recommend starting with an open-source combination (Kubescape + Falco) to control costs” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Container security · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“I'd usually recommend Kubescape as the best single starting point for Kubernetes security” GPT-5.4 mini · Container security · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Kubescape + Falco (free) - a credible defense-in-depth for $0 in licensing.” Llama 4 Maverick · Container security · paraphrase 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.

“provide a strong free foundation but lack enterprise-scale management, support, and advanced enforcement” Grok 4.1 Fast · Container security · comparative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Kubescape. 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 81 answers that named Kubescape and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as Kubescape

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Kubescape; a claim can dispute any of them.

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 Kubescape'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 Kubescape, 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 kubescape.io 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.
