Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Sentra yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Sentra across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen 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.

“Sentra – Recommended for cloud-focused pragmatism, making it a strong fit for mid-market companies heavily invested in cloud environments.” Mistral Small · DSPM · direct prompt · first choice

“the strongest default choice is Sentra if your priority is pragmatic cloud data security with relatively focused deployment” Perplexity Sonar · DSPM · direct prompt · first choice

“Start with Sentra if you are cloud-first, want agentless discovery with reasonable time-to-value and a pragmatic price band.” Muse Glimmer 30B · DSPM · direct prompt · first choice

“I'd suggest starting with Sentra or Cyera based on the current recommendations” MiniMax M2.5 · DSPM · direct 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.

“AI Multiple's 2026 vendor overview lists explicit cons for Sentra: Not a dedicated "data labeling" service; no deep data discovery or classification capabilities.” Muse Glimmer 30B · DSPM · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Sentra. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 68 of the 69 answers that named Sentra and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page sentra.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 September 29, 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 Sentra'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 Sentra, 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 Sentra by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Sentra 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 Sentra, 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.

Badges

Wins only: a badge exists where Sentra is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.

ShowHide

Sentra is among the products AI models recommend first in Data security posture management this edition. Each badge says so in the buyer's words, names the edition, and links to the standing. The next edition issues a new badge; this one stays true as a record of October 2026.
