Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Sysdig 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 Sysdig 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.

“Sysdig is a good option for companies that need deep container and Kubernetes runtime detection” Llama 4 Maverick · Container security · direct prompt · first choice
“For Infrastructure: Look for deep visibility and behavior analysis (e.g., Sysdig, Falco” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Container security · negative prompt · first choice
“For most mid-sized B2B companies, Sysdig or Aqua Security are the top commercial choices” Mistral Small · Container security · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Falco-lineage eBPF runtime depth with MITRE-mapped rules and in-use CVE prioritization.” Kimi K2 · Container security · comparative 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.

“Be Cautious with Sysdig if you are deploying on bare metal or have high-performance computing requirements that cannot tolerate agent overhead.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Container security · negative prompt · soft negative
“their pricing is node/workload‑based (typically $1200+ per node/year), which may exceed a tight budget” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Container security · budget prompt · soft negative
“Sysdig, Aqua, and Prisma bill per workload/node ... these costs can escalate quickly” Mistral Small · Container security · negative prompt · soft negative
“more enterprise-oriented and typically quote-based or significantly more expensive” Perplexity Sonar · Container security · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Sysdig. 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 142 of the 159 answers that named Sysdig 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 Sysdig'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, 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 sysdig.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.
