This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Diligent yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

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.

“Large public company: Diligent or Nasdaq Boardvantage (robust compliance, audit trails)” MiniMax M2.5 · Board · comparative prompt · first choice
“Diligent is widely considered the gold standard.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Board · direct prompt · first choice
“## Top Recommendation: Diligent” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Entity management · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Diligent is the titan of the industry. It is highly secure and customizable but can be very expensive and complex to implement.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Board · comparative 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.

“Diligent ($15K\u201330K+/yr) and Board Intelligence are enterprise standard but far out of budget. Skip these” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Board · budget prompt · hard negative
“I would avoid Diligent, BoardEffect, and Boardvantage if budget is the main constraint” Perplexity Sonar · Board · budget prompt · hard negative
“Legacy Systems (e.g., Diligent, CSC Entity Management): Often highly robust ... but can feel clunky, require heavy training, have longer implementation times, and carry higher price tags.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Entity management · scale prompt · soft negative
“Many legacy systems (like Diligent, Mitratech, or CSC) are designed for large multinationals, hide their pricing ... often start at tens of thousands of dollars per year.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Entity management · budget prompt · soft negative

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 Diligent'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 Diligent, 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 diligent.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.
