What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Promon is my first vendor to evaluate for a mid-sized B2B company optimizing for low integration burden” GPT-6 Luna · App shielding · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“If your primary concern is sophisticated malware targeting device memory, screens, and inputs (especially in banking), choose Promon.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · App shielding · comparative prompt · alternative
“If you're a bank or handle highly sensitive transactions and need a "security fortress" → Promon SHIELD” DeepSeek V4 Flash · App shielding · comparative prompt · alternative
“Consider Promon or Verimatrix if you're in a highly regulated industry and need maximum control.” Kimi K2 · App shielding · scale 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.

“What to Avoid on a Tight Budget - ... Promon SHIELD: Enterprise-grade but require "contact for pricing"” Kimi K2 · App shielding · budget prompt · hard negative
“Researchers have published bypass methods; the company notably sued security researchers in 2018” Kimi K2 · App shielding · negative prompt · hard negative
“you do not need to purchase expensive, five-figure enterprise contracts (like those from Guardsquare/DexGuard, Promon, or Arxan)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · App shielding · budget prompt · soft negative
“Excellent runtime protection, but overkill and costlier for most mid-market B2B needs” DeepSeek V4 Flash · App shielding · direct prompt · soft negative

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read October 5, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page promon.io 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. 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 October 5, 2026.

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 Promon SHIELD'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 Promon SHIELD, 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 Promon SHIELD by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Promon SHIELD 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 Promon SHIELD, 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.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at promon.io is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
