Movement

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

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.

“SailPoint / Vanta / Zluri — if access reviews and ITGC automation are your real pain.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal controls · scale prompt · first choice

“Choose Vanta or Drata if you are a cloud-native business that needs to achieve and maintain SOC 2” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Internal controls · comparative prompt · alternative

“Choose Vanta if you want continuous, automated evidence collection from integrated systems” MiniMax M2.5 · Internal controls · comparative prompt · alternative

“consider adding a compliance automation tool like Vanta to complement your GRC platform” MiniMax M2.5 · 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.

“worth evaluating, though they're more commonly associated with security compliance than deep SOX program management” GPT-5.4 mini · Internal controls · direct prompt · soft negative

“their median pricing is $20-25k/year, which is likely too high for a "limited" budget” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal controls · budget prompt · soft negative

“Vanta, though it's more vendor-risk/compliance oriented than classic supplier management” GPT-5.4 mini · Supplier management · direct prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Vanta. 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 46 of the 63 answers that named Vanta 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 Vanta'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 Vanta, 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 vanta.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.
