Every category where a model named ScyllaDB for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for ScyllaDB 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 ScyllaDB across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

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.

“High throughput on minimum hardware | ScyllaDB | Written in C++, slashes hosting costs for massive data.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · NoSQL · budget prompt · alternative

“ScyllaDB is a faster, C++-based alternative with a free community edition” DeepSeek V4 Flash · NoSQL · budget prompt · alternative

“Apache Cassandra or ScyllaDB are excellent choices” Mistral Small · NoSQL · budget prompt · alternative

“ScyllaDB (faster drop-in), DynamoDB (managed).” Grok 4.1 Fast · NoSQL · negative 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.

“ScyllaDB is a faster C++ rewrite of Cassandra, but it shares the exact same complex data modeling requirements” Gemini 3.5 Flash · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative

“more operational complexity and limited query flexibility. Probably overkill for most mid-market workloads.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · NoSQL · direct prompt · soft negative

“usually "overkill" and require too much specialized engineering maintenance” Gemini 3.5 Flash · NoSQL · direct prompt · soft negative

“Apache Cassandra / ScyllaDB (Wide-Column Stores) ... Why to be cautious” Qwen 3.7 Flash · NoSQL · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ScyllaDB. 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 33 of the 50 answers that named ScyllaDB 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 ScyllaDB'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 ScyllaDB, 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 scylladb.com 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.
