What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If I had to choose one as the default recommendation for most mid-sized B2B firms, it would be Radware” Perplexity Sonar · Load balancers · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“The best load balancer for a company with a limited budget is Radware Alteon, according to Gitnux.” Llama 4 Maverick · Load balancers · budget prompt · first choice

“Other options to consider are NetScaler ADC and Radware's application delivery solutions.” Llama 4 Maverick · Load balancers · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“Radware Alteon is described as the budget-lean alternative in one 2026 comparison” Perplexity Sonar · Load balancers · 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.

“Avoid purchasing enterprise-grade ADCs (like F5, A10, or Radware)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Load balancers · negative prompt · soft negative
