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 ZTNA are the top recommendations due to their balance of features, scalability, and mid-market focus” Mistral Small · ZTNA · direct prompt · first choice
“Best for: Organizations prioritizing data protection, SaaS security, and CASB-style controls.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ZTNA · comparative prompt · alternative
“Choose Netskope if you want ZTNA tightly aligned with SSE/SASE and cloud app security.” GPT-5.4 mini · ZTNA · comparative prompt · alternative
“A strong contender for organizations looking for a comprehensive SASE platform.” Mistral Small · ZTNA · 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.
“Netskope - Several serious issues were disclosed: Authentication bypass in IdP enrollment (CVE-2024-7401)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ZTNA · negative prompt · hard negative
“Authentication bypasses and access to sensitive SFTP servers containing client logs/auth material” Kimi K2 · ZTNA · negative prompt · hard negative
“When to avoid: Multi-tenant environments or high-security apps” Grok 4.20 · ZTNA · negative prompt · hard negative
“SASE ... (e.g., Zscaler, Palo Alto Prisma, Netskope): ... This is powerful but significantly more expensive and complex.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · ZTNA · scale 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 Private Access. 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 67 of the 73 answers that named Netskope Private Access and are not a share of its labels.
