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.
“ManageEngine PAM360 is widely considered the best value proposition in the Privileged Access Management (PAM) space” Qwen 3.7 Flash · PAM · budget prompt · first choice
“ManageEngine PAM360 — Best Overall Value ... migrate to ManageEngine PAM360 — it offers the best bang-for-buck” DeepSeek V4 Flash · PAM · budget prompt · first choice
“The best privileged access management platform for a company with a limited budget is ManageEngine PAM360” Llama 4 Maverick · PAM · budget prompt · first choice
“Top Pick for Mid-Market ... I'd recommend starting with ManageEngine PAM360 or Delinea” MiniMax M2.5 · PAM · 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.
“ManageEngine PAM360 may be a better fit for larger requirements, but not a low-budget pick: its published subscription starts at $7,995/year.” GPT-6 Luna · PAM · budget prompt · soft negative
“received criticism for its user interface, performance issues, and limited support for modern cloud and DevOps environments” Mistral Small · PAM · negative prompt · soft negative
“It has a track record of severe vulnerabilities, including critical unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) flaws” Gemini 3.5 Flash · PAM · negative prompt · soft negative
