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'd recommend starting with Orca Security or Tenable Cloud Security as they balance strong features with mid-market usability” MiniMax M2.5 · CSPM · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“If your priority is vulnerability management and entitlement exposure, Tenable Cloud Security is often singled out.” Perplexity Sonar · CNAPP · comparative prompt · alternative
“Tenable is recommended for teams prioritizing vulnerability management and identity (CIEM) lineage” MiniMax M2.5 · CSPM · direct prompt · alternative
“The recommended CSPM tools ... are Wiz, CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Uptycs.” Llama 4 Maverick · CSPM · paraphrase 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.
“⚠️ Tenable & Qualys: Avoid if you prioritize agility over compliance history.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · CNAPP · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid: Older-generation tools like Prisma Cloud (Palo Alto) or Tenable” Qwen 3.7 Flash · CSPM · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“Now part of Wiz ecosystem; standalone offering being phased out.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · CNAPP · comparative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Tenable Cloud Security. 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 31 of the 36 answers that named Tenable Cloud Security and are not a share of its labels.
