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.
“Microsoft is usually the best fit if your privileged access needs are mostly within Azure, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365.” GPT-5.4 mini · PAM · comparative prompt · alternative
“Choose Microsoft Entra PIM if your privileged access lives mostly in Microsoft/Azure.” Perplexity Sonar · PAM · comparative prompt · alternative
“Entra PIM is often sufficient for role elevation; ... not a full PAM suite” GLM 4.7 FlashX · PAM · comparative prompt · alternative
“covers Azure-role just-in-time access for Microsoft E5 estates” Muse Glimmer 30B · PAM · 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.
