Standing

8 labels, too few to rank

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“modern, SaaS-first options like Lumos, Zluri, Linx, Opal Security, and Iden” DeepSeek V4 Flash · IGA · scale prompt · first choice

“Choose Opal, Lumos, or Linx if you are a fast-moving, cloud-native tech company” Gemini 3.5 Flash · IGA · comparative prompt · alternative

“Best for: Mid-market organizations wanting converged identity security” MiniMax M2.5 · IGA · direct prompt · alternative

“Modern approach to access management with lower operational burden” Kimi K2 · IGA · direct 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Opal Security. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 9 of the 11 answers that named Opal Security 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 Opal Security'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 Opal Security, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at opalsecurity.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
