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.

“I would recommend Sysdig if you want the best balance of runtime protection, Kubernetes-native visibility, and scalability” Perplexity Sonar · Container security · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Choose Sysdig or Upwind if you run complex Kubernetes environments and are deeply concerned with active runtime threats” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Container security · comparative prompt · first choice
“Sysdig is repeatedly called out as best for container-first mid-market and enterprise and for K8s runtime.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Container security · direct prompt · first choice
“Sysdig Secure offers the best balance of runtime protection depth, developer integration, and price.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Container security · 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.

“historically agent-heavy monitoring platforms (like early versions of Sysdig). While Sysdig has made great strides in adding agentless context” Gemini 3.5 Flash · CNAPP · negative prompt · soft negative
“Custom quote; mid-market pricing starts around $4–5k/month ... not the best starting point for a tight budget” GLM 4.7 FlashX · CNAPP · budget prompt · soft negative
“start at higher costs (~$10k+/year for small clusters) with sales cycles... overkill if budget-conscious” Grok 4.20 · Container security · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“Caution level: Moderate (but conditional) ... it's not a "set and forget" tool.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Container security · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page sysdig.com 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 Sysdig Secure'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 Sysdig Secure, 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 Sysdig Secure by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Sysdig Secure 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 Sysdig Secure, 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.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at sysdig.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
