What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If your primary constraint is the bottom line, Zoho Vault is virtually unbeatable on price.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Password managers · budget prompt · first choice
“Zoho Vault is a budget-friendly option that integrates well with the Zoho ecosystem” Mistral Small · Password managers · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Zoho Vault Enterprise for approval-based and time-limited credential sharing” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Password managers · comparative prompt · alternative
“Other options to consider are Proton Pass, Bitwarden, and Zoho Vault” Llama 4 Maverick · Password managers · budget 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.

“Cheaper options like Zoho Vault ($1/user Standard) or Keeper Starter lack some polish/audits” Grok 4.1 Fast · Password managers · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Zoho Vault. 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 19 of the 20 answers that named Zoho Vault 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 Zoho Vault'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 Zoho Vault, 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 zohovault.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.
