What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Integrated with SASE/CASB for inline security.” Grok 4.1 Fast · SSPM · 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, Zscaler ZIA, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Cisco Cloudlock / Skyhigh, Palo Alto Prisma SaaS all have SSPM-shaped posture features... less a pure SSPM play” Muse Glimmer 30B · SSPM · negative prompt · soft negative

“High setup and tuning complexity, no contextual user data leading to higher false-positive rate, and pull-based architecture limits scalability” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SSPM · negative prompt · soft negative

“While legacy vendors like Zscaler and Netskope still hold relevance, specialized "SSPM-native" vendors currently lead in depth and accuracy.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SSPM · comparative prompt · soft negative

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 SSPM'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 SSPM, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
