Verbatim excerpt from one collected ChatGPT answer; formatting flattened, words untouched.

Microsoft Sentinel leads on mention count and average position of 1.6, but its complete absence from Gemini's answers reveals fragile, model-dependent visibility rather than a true consensus win. The more striking story is that the top three category-ranked brands, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, and FullStory, were named zero times, suggesting the models are drifting toward SIEM tools rather than session replay products.
