What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Broad external-threat coverage spanning brand and domain abuse, social platforms, executive risks... Look closely at ZeroFox.” GPT-6 Luna · DRP · comparative prompt · first choice
“If brand, executive, and social media protection with rapid takedowns are your top priorities → ZeroFox” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DRP · comparative prompt · first choice
“ZeroFox is highly regarded for its automated threat intelligence, brand defense, and executive protection.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · DRP · comparative prompt · first choice
“Zerofox (Best Overall for Brand Protection) ... widely considered the gold standard for brand protection” Qwen 3.7 Flash · DRP · paraphrase 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.

“Users frequently report problems with inefficient alerts, slow performance ... and a high volume of false positives.” Mistral Small · DRP · negative prompt · hard negative
“What to avoid (If budget is truly limited):- ZeroFox: Median contract value is ~$45,000/year.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · DRP · budget prompt · hard negative
“ZeroFox – Multiple User Complaints - False positive overload” Kimi K2 · DRP · negative prompt · hard negative
“G2 reviews flag inefficient alerts, high false positives, slow/incomplete takedowns, and time wasted on manual triage” Grok 4.20 · DRP · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named ZeroFox. 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 130 of the 136 answers that named ZeroFox and are not a share of its labels.

Events in person

Last twelve months

As the event pages on zerofox.com state them, read September 28, 2026.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page zerofox.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. Of its titles that name a category, most name ASM (15); 0 name its categories the models place it in. 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. Read September 29, 2026.

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

  • where ZeroFox 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 ZeroFox, 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.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at zerofox.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
