Movement

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

“Cloudflare (Business/Enterprise), DNS Made Easy, UltraDNS | Balanced cost/features, no cloud lock-in” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Managed DNS · scale prompt · alternative

“Managed DNS, DNSSEC, advanced routing, high‑availability solutions for mission‑critical workloads” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Managed DNS · comparative prompt · alternative

“Best for Complex Traffic Management: UltraDNS (by Neustar) or NS1 (now StackPath)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Managed DNS · paraphrase prompt · alternative

“Best for: Enterprise and highly regulated industries” Kimi K2 · Managed DNS · 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.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named UltraDNS. 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 22 of the 23 answers that named UltraDNS 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 UltraDNS'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 UltraDNS, 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 UltraDNS by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where UltraDNS 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 UltraDNS, 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.
