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.
“the go-to platform for telecom carriers and large MSPs looking to build and white-label their own managed SD-WAN services” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SD-WAN · comparative prompt · alternative
“Choose Versa if: You are heavily reliant on Cloud computing and want to keep your networking infrastructure virtual.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SD-WAN · budget prompt · alternative
“some vendors like Cisco, Fatpipe, and Versa Networks are mentioned as having good SD-WAN solutions” Llama 4 Maverick · SD-WAN · negative prompt · alternative
“Versa | Through service providers | Good if you want a carrier-managed SD-WAN” DeepSeek V4 Flash · SD-WAN · scale 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.
“faced severe financial difficulties and restructuring... their instability made many large enterprises hesitant” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SD-WAN · negative prompt · soft negative
“calls out its high price point and limited geographic presence” Perplexity Sonar · SD-WAN · negative prompt · soft negative
“Versa has been flagged as having a "poor customer experience score."” GLM 4.7 FlashX · SD-WAN · negative 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 Versa Secure SD-WAN. 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 59 of the 66 answers that named Versa Secure SD-WAN and are not a share of its labels.
