Movement

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

By model

How each model treated Microsoft PowerPoint across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Not a full authoring suite, but useful for screen-based training and tutorials - Good low-cost option for simple content” GPT-5.4 mini · Course authoring tools · budget prompt · alternative
“Use Canva or PowerPoint. ... which have decent org chart templates built-in at zero extra cost.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Org charts · budget prompt · alternative
“Best for simplicity and presentation” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Org charts · budget 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.

“You will spend hours moving boxes in PowerPoint or Visio only to have the document become obsolete by next week.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Org charts · negative prompt · hard negative
“Why you should avoid them: They treat org charts as static illustrations rather than dynamic databases.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Org charts · negative prompt · hard negative
“Manual/static tools like PowerPoint, Excel, or Visio: Widely criticized for becoming outdated quickly” Grok 4.1 Fast · Org charts · negative prompt · hard negative
“trying to maintain an org chart in PowerPoint, Visio, or Lucidchart is a losing battle” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Org charts · scale prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Microsoft PowerPoint. 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 21 of the 32 answers that named Microsoft PowerPoint 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 Microsoft PowerPoint'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 Microsoft PowerPoint, 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 microsoft.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.
