October 2026 Edition. Every number here is derived from the raw labels under vendor table v2026-10.8, every buyer segment counted.

Standing

5 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. ThousandEyes was named 5 times in Uptime monitoring and 1 other category, where UptimeRobot led with 24%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Movement

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

“Best for network-path visibility ... If budget is tighter, this may be overkill.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Uptime monitoring · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“ThousandEyes leads for digital experience monitoring.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Network monitoring · comparative 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.

“Cisco's unit-based pricing is complex and typically favors larger enterprises” Kimi K2 · Uptime monitoring · paraphrase prompt · hard negative

“More expensive and complex; best for large enterprises... optional add‑ons rather than core” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Uptime monitoring · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ThousandEyes. 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 9 of the 12 answers that named ThousandEyes and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page thousandeyes.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. Read October 5, 2026.

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 ThousandEyes'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 ThousandEyes, 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 ThousandEyes by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where ThousandEyes 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 ThousandEyes, 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.
