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.

“Vicarius vRx or SecPod SanerNow | Combines scanning and patching natively so you don't have to manage multiple consoles.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Vuln management · direct prompt · first choice
“Next-Gen / Unified VM & Patching (Highly recommended for 500-person companies): SecPod SanerNow, Action1, or PDQ.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Vuln management · scale 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.

“they also do not offer patchless protection... you may be left exposed” Mistral Small · Vuln management · negative prompt · soft negative
