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.

“Go with Veeam if you run a standard virtualized environment (VMware/Hyper-V) and need reliable, cost-effective backups with great instant-recovery features.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Backup and DR · comparative prompt · first choice
“For most mid-market companies, Veeam remains the safest default choice due to its ecosystem integration and manageable pricing.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Backup and DR · direct prompt · first choice
“I'd suggest looking at Druva or Veeam first—they scale well and have strong enterprise features” MiniMax M2.5 · Backup and DR · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“best cost-to-value option ... would be Veeam Backup & Replication (free tier) + Backblaze B2” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Backup and DR · budget 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.

No model argued against it.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page veeam.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. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.
