Movement

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

By model

By framing

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.

“If you are a standard B2B SaaS or technology firm, start with Drata to automate your security controls.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Internal controls · paraphrase prompt · first choice

“Best for Tech-First & Multi-Framework ITGCs | Drata or Vanta” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Internal controls · scale prompt · alternative

“Choose Vanta or Drata if you are a cloud-native business” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Internal controls · comparative prompt · alternative

“SaaS/tech focused on SOC 2/ISO → Drata or Vanta” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal controls · paraphrase 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.

“Vanta / Drata – They push SOC 2 hard... too high for a "limited" budget” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal controls · budget prompt · soft negative

“Drata ~$7.5K-$25K/year ... Quote-only, higher entry” Grok 4.1 Fast · Internal controls · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Drata. 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 41 of the 54 answers that named Drata and are not a share of its labels.

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 Drata'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 Drata, 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 drata.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.
