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.
“Netskope One SASE is the strongest fit for a midmarket company because it is explicitly positioned as a single-vendor SASE solution tailored for midmarket to large enterprises” Perplexity Sonar · SASE · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Netskope took top position in Gartner\u2019s latest rankings of secure access service edge vendors” Muse Glimmer 30B · SASE · comparative prompt · first choice
“1. Netskope One SASE: A cloud-native, fully converged, and single-vendor SASE solution” Llama 4 Maverick · SASE · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“I'd generally recommend Netskope One SASE as the first solution to evaluate.” GPT-5.4 mini · SASE · 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.
“enterprises should not assume it automatically matches the routing depth, local services, appliance variety, or failure behavior of competitors” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SASE · negative prompt · soft negative
“Mixed support experiences - some users report sluggish/inadequate support; High price point mentioned” MiniMax M2.5 · SASE · negative prompt · soft negative
“A security-first vendor (such as Zscaler or Netskope) ... an SSE-first platform may struggle” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SASE · negative prompt · soft negative
“often better suited for larger enterprises with heavy cloud app governance requirements” Kimi K2 · SASE · direct prompt · soft negative

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 Netskope One. 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 112 of the 119 answers that named Netskope One 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 Netskope One'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 Netskope One, 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 Netskope One by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Netskope One 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 Netskope One, 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.
