Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for OpenCTI yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated OpenCTI across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you have an absolute $0 software budget but have some engineering time: Spin up a virtual machine and install OpenCTI.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Threat intel · budget prompt · first choice
“OpenCTI (Community Edition) is widely regarded as the best free TIP in 2026 for a budget-constrained company” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Threat intel · budget prompt · first choice
“Bottom line: If you have technical staff available, start with OpenCTI Community Edition” Kimi K2 · Threat intel · budget prompt · first choice
“open source platform allowing organizations to manage their cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Threat intel · budget 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.

“Platforms built on open-source frameworks (e.g., MISP, OpenCTI) are free, but they are not turnkey solutions” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Threat intel · negative prompt · soft negative
“These platforms require significant engineering resources to maintain.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Threat intel · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named OpenCTI. 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 32 of the 50 answers that named OpenCTI 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 OpenCTI'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 OpenCTI, 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 opencti.io 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.
