This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Microsoft Presidio 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 Microsoft Presidio across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“start with Microsoft Presidio or ARX, as they are both mature, well-supported, and widely used in production environments” Mistral Small · Data masking · budget prompt · first choice
“Greenmask (for PostgreSQL) and Microsoft Presidio (for broad PII detection/masking) are the best choices” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Data masking · budget prompt · first choice
“Start with Microsoft Presidio if you need general PII masking across various data types” Kimi K2 · Data masking · budget prompt · first choice
“the best starting point is Microsoft Presidio (open‑source, free, easy to integrate)” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Data masking · budget 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.

No model argued against it.
