Inside the 11-point floor: within noise.10% → 0%The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one can't be told apart from repeat variation, and both are shown. Each index measures its own floor from its own repeat, over its own categories, so the floor differs from one index to the next. Both editions asked the same fourteen models. How the floor is measured
Bars are the share of first choices, 0 to 100Every product with at least 10 labels here. Every product name links to its product page.
Head to head
Cloudflare Bot Management vs DataDomeCloudflare Bot Management vs Imperva Advanced Bot ProtectionCloudflare Bot Management vs HUMAN Bot Defender
Head-to-head pages are published for mid-market buyers, so these open on mid-market figures, not small business.All ten head-to-head pages: the top five products, each against each
One product takes 82% of first choices here, so the chart would put eleven markers in one corner and one at the far edge. The two measurements it plots are columns in the standing above: share, and the negative label rate. Seven products carry a negative rate above 25% in this category.
What they warned about
Nine of fourteen models held their first choice under the paraphrase. Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.4 mini, Llama 4 Maverick, GLM 4.7 FlashX and Muse Glimmer 30B changed. A high negative share on a product with few labels is a warning. A low share on a product with many labels is salience, not sentiment.
Akamai Bot Manager76%
29 of 38 labels negative · 13 of 14 models · 12 hard negative
“High total cost of ownership makes it inaccessible for smaller companies." "The management console is complex and usually requires a dedicated security specialist.” Muse Glimmer 30B, negative prompt
DataDome45%
27 of 60 labels negative · 13 of 14 models · 9 hard negative
“cautious about purchasing a second, standalone security appliance (like F5 Advanced WAF or standalone PerimeterX/Datadome plans)” Qwen 3.7 Flash, negative prompt
Imperva Advanced Bot Protection70%
19 of 27 labels negative · 10 of 14 models · 8 hard negative
“Enterprise-grade dedicated solutions like Akamai Bot Manager, Imperva, or Arkose Labs are usually overkill, overly complex, and too expensive” Gemini 3.5 Flash, direct prompt
HUMAN Bot Defender52%
13 of 25 labels negative · 7 of 14 models · 6 hard negative
“HUMAN Security (formerly PerimeterX) start around $3,000+ per month — they're overkill and far beyond a small company's budget.” DeepSeek V4 Flash, budget prompt
What they cite
Fourteen of the fourteen models returned a source list in this edition: five return the pages they cited and nine the search results they consulted.
Sites the answers cite
71 of 84 answers in this category came back with a source list, from 14 of 14 models: citations where the model returns them, or the search results it consulted. 882 links across 169 sites, every framing counted. Ranked by the number of answers carrying the site or page. 58 of the 252 answers across every segment cited this index's own page for the category; the method page measures whether that reading tilts an answer.

Search against answers
Each company's standing in the answers beside its site's footprint in Google search, one row a site: the products the models named on it with their shares, and the share they add up to; monthly searches on Google, and DataForSEO's estimate of AI search demand (modeled from search signals, directional, not a count of queries to any assistant), for the most-searched of the company's and its products' names (the name is in each row's hover text); estimated monthly organic visits to the site; and its best position in Google's top ten for “best bot management solution”, “bot management solution”, “bot management solutions”. US estimates from DataForSEO and Google's Ads Transparency Center. A small company's site, or a mid-sized company's site for its flagship, is marked company; a product on a large parent's site (Google, Microsoft) has no site figures. A column with no figures for this category is left out, and an empty cell means none were seen, not none exist. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.
