Movement

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

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“SentinelOne - Offers leading detection capabilities, includes EDR, and supports macOS and Linux. It's suitable for mid-sized to enterprise organizations.” Llama 4 Maverick · Endpoint protection · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“The leading contenders to shortlist would be CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Endpoint protection · scale prompt · first choice
“SentinelOne - Low false positives, minimal tuning required” Kimi K2 · Endpoint protection · negative prompt · first choice
“SentinelOne Singularity: Highly regarded for its automated remediation (rollback) and ease of use. Very strong contender for mid-sized organizations.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Endpoint protection · 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.

“Platforms to be cautious about: CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Endpoint protection · negative prompt · soft negative
“Not a full‑featured VM for network/ cloud assets; may require additional tooling” MiniMax M2.5 · Vuln management · direct prompt · soft negative
“Premiums like CrowdStrike/SentinelOne start 3–5x higher.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Endpoint protection · budget prompt · soft negative
“vs. enterprise like Palo Alto/SentinelOne at $70+” Grok 4.1 Fast · Endpoint protection · direct prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SentinelOne. 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 56 of the 82 answers that named SentinelOne and are not a share of its labels.

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 SentinelOne'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 SentinelOne, 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 sentinelone.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.
