Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Microsoft SharePoint 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 SharePoint 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.

“For most companies on a tight budget, Pebb (free tier) or Microsoft SharePoint/Teams (if you already use Microsoft 365) offer the best value-to-cost ratio.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Internal communications · budget prompt · first choice
“Start with SharePoint or Google Sites. It costs $0 extra and aligns with security protocols” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Internal communications · budget prompt · first choice
“SharePoint is often the best value, because it's included in many Microsoft plans” GPT-5.4 mini · Internal communications · budget prompt · first choice
“If you're heavily invested in Microsoft 365 → SharePoint is the natural choice” Kimi K2 · Internal communications · comparative prompt · first choice

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.

“SharePoint if you need a simple, low-maintenance intranet” Perplexity Sonar · Internal communications · negative prompt · hard negative
“Great for document management but frustrating as a full intranet—90% of projects reportedly underperform without heavy customization” Grok 4.1 Fast · Internal communications · negative prompt · soft negative
“Out of the box, SharePoint is a document repository, not an intranet... Who should avoid it: Organizations with small HR/IT teams” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Internal communications · negative prompt · soft negative
“SharePoint is not a standalone "intranet platform" in the traditional sense... It requires significant IT resources to customize” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Internal communications · comparative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Microsoft SharePoint. 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 106 of the 119 answers that named Microsoft SharePoint 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 SharePoint'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 SharePoint, 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.
