Kantata vs Certinia

Kantata leads clearly; Certinia owns nothing yet holds position. Kantata's 57 visibility score against Certinia's 37 comes down to three specific question themes: best overall, use-case fit, and feature-led asks, where Kantata consistently takes the recommendation slot Certinia cannot crack. The model gap is sharpest on ChatGPT, where Kantata scores 71 against Certinia's 38, though Claude drags Kantata down to 38, narrowing the spread there. Certinia stays in the conversation on 5 of 8 questions by holding a slightly better average position when named (2 versus 2), which means it ranks higher in the lists that do include it, just not often enough to close the overall gap.
