Movement

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

By model

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Test Wiz, Orca Security, Palo Alto Prisma Cloud, or AccuKnox via POCs focusing on your stack” Grok 4.1 Fast · CNAPP · negative prompt · first choice

“Full‑lifecycle enterprise security → Aqua or Prisma Cloud.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Container security · comparative prompt · first choice

“Wiz and Prisma Cloud are top choices for most use cases” Mistral Small · CNAPP · comparative prompt · first choice

“such as Wiz, Prisma Cloud, or Defender for Cloud” Llama 4 Maverick · CNAPP · budget 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.

“Avoid Prisma Cloud if you are a small team or lack dedicated DevOps/SRE resources to configure a complex policy engine.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Container security · negative prompt · hard negative

“Avoid at all costs on a limited budget: Enterprise suites like Wiz, Prisma Cloud, or Orca Security.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · CSPM · budget prompt · hard negative

“Prisma Cloud and Lacework present the most documented risks around cost unpredictability and complexity” Kimi K2 · CSPM · negative prompt · hard negative

“if a vendor is still selling "Twistlock" standalone, treat it as a legacy/end-of-life product” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Container security · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Prisma Cloud. 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 345 of the 401 answers that named Prisma Cloud and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

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 Prisma Cloud'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 Prisma Cloud, 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 prismacloud.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.
