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.

“Choose Zoom if you frequently meet with external clients, vendors, or partners, as it offers the fewest technical hurdles for outside guests.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Video conferencing · comparative prompt · first choice
“Known for its ease of use, high-quality video, and robust features like breakout rooms, virtual backgrounds, and extensive integrations.” Mistral Small · Video conferencing · comparative prompt · first choice
“Best overall general-purpose platform: Zoom is commonly described as the most popular and widely used video conferencing platform.” Perplexity Sonar · Video conferencing · comparative prompt · first choice
“I'd suggest Zoom or Microsoft Teams as top choices. Zoom generally has the edge in pure video conferencing reliability” MiniMax M2.5 · Video conferencing · direct 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.

“Zoom has had multiple serious issues: False encryption claims” Kimi K2 · Video conferencing · negative prompt · hard negative
“it has had a troubled security/privacy record, including concerns about default call encryption, data collection, and past vulnerabilities; ... caution is warranted for sensitive use” Perplexity Sonar · Video conferencing · negative prompt · soft negative
“it has a history of vulnerabilities, including issues with encryption and unauthorized access to meetings. It is still considered risky for highly sensitive discussions” Mistral Small · Video conferencing · negative prompt · soft negative
“Be cautious with these due to historical or ongoing concerns: Zoom: Past privacy scandals ... Now improved (AES-256 E2EE available), but enable it manually” Grok 4.1 Fast · Video conferencing · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Zoom Workplace. 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 200 of the 227 answers that named Zoom Workplace and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page zoom.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. 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 Zoom Workplace'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 Zoom Workplace, 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 Zoom Workplace by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Zoom Workplace 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 Zoom Workplace, 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 zoom.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.
