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.

No positive label carried a quote.

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.

“Legacy enterprise DLP platforms (such as Broadcom/Symantec, Forcepoint, or Trellix) are often a poor fit for the mid-market.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · DLP · direct prompt · hard negative

“Avoid hype-heavy vendors with "empty reports" or poor support (e.g., some complaints about Trellix).” Grok 4.1 Fast · MDR · negative prompt · hard negative

“Their legacy gateway-based architectures have struggled to keep pace with agile, API-driven alternatives.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Email security · negative prompt · soft negative

“Platforms to be cautious about: ... Trellix (formerly McAfee Enterprise)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Endpoint protection · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Trellix. 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 14 of the 27 answers that named Trellix and are not a share of its labels.

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 Trellix'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 Trellix, 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 trellix.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.
