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.

“Deep static analysis for binaries/source, customizable rules, on-prem/SaaS. High accuracy in taint tracking but can be slower/resource-heavy” Grok 4.20 · SAST · comparative prompt · alternative
“a comprehensive security solution that covers static analysis, dynamic testing, and software composition analysis” Llama 4 Maverick · DAST · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Choose Checkmarx or Fortify if: You are a large enterprise with rigorous compliance needs” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SAST · comparative prompt · alternative
“enterprise-grade, long-established SAST, often chosen for large regulated environments” GPT-5.4 mini · SAST · 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.

“Avoid: Traditional enterprise ASPM platforms (Checkmarx, Fortify, Apiiro)” Kimi K2 · ASPM · budget prompt · hard negative
“Fortify is described as heavyweight \u2013 requiring dedicated infrastructure and a team to manage scans and triage.” Muse Glimmer 30B · SAST · negative prompt · soft negative
“Why be cautious: Fortify is widely considered a "heavyweight" tool. It is famous for high false positive rates” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SAST · negative prompt · soft negative
“Requires building/compiling to scan, very slow scans, outdated rules... painful support” Kimi K2 · SAST · negative 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 OpenText Fortify'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 OpenText Fortify, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for OpenText Fortify by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where OpenText Fortify is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name OpenText Fortify, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
