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.
“Prioritize tools with strong mid-market fit (e.g., Automox for cloud simplicity, NinjaOne for RMM integration).” Grok 4.1 Fast · Patching · scale prompt · first choice
“Choose NinjaOne or Automox if you want strong automation and simpler cloud-managed patching.” GPT-5.4 mini · Patching · comparative prompt · first choice
“are often the safest all-round choices because they combine broad third-party coverage” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Patching · direct prompt · first choice
“NinjaOne is the most commonly recommended choice for mid-market companies.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Patching · direct 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.
“only if you are also paying for broader RMM/IT management features, since their pricing model is aimed more at bundled platform use” Perplexity Sonar · Patching · budget prompt · soft negative
“reviews highlight frequent patch failures without clear root-cause diagnostics, limited Mac/Linux support” Grok 4.1 Fast · Patching · negative prompt · soft negative
“NinjaOne (though NinjaOne is pricier, it is highly rated)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Patching · budget prompt · soft negative
“NinjaOne has issues with not transparent pricing” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Patching · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page ninjaone.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Of its titles that name a category, most name RMM (48); 36 name the category the models place it in. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.
