Standing by category
Every category where a model named Oracle for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement
This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Oracle 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 Oracle 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.
“widely deployed for mid-market to large companies with strong payroll and good HRIS capabilities” Claude Haiku 4.5 · HRIS and HCM platforms · comparative prompt · alternative
“Oracle focuses on pay fairness, market-data comparisons, and visibility into total compensation” GPT-5.4 mini · Compensation management · comparative prompt · alternative
“Integrated HCM platforms (e.g., Workday, UKG, Oracle, Dayforce—Gartner leaders/challengers)” Grok 4.1 Fast · Succession planning · negative prompt · alternative
“If you want enterprise-grade breadth: Workday or Oracle” GPT-5.4 mini · Workforce management sui · direct 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.
“Avoid/pay extra scrutiny for enterprise suites like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Oracle if you are a smaller or mid-sized company” Perplexity Sonar · HRIS and HCM platforms · negative prompt · hard negative
“you generally want to avoid dedicated enterprise-suite software (like SAP SuccessFactors or Oracle)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Succession planning · budget prompt · hard negative
“Workday / SAP / Oracle — Enterprise-grade, overkill and pricey” DeepSeek V4 Flash · HRIS and HCM platforms · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“avoid enterprise-heavy tools like SAP/Oracle unless bundled” Grok 4.1 Fast · Compensation management · scale prompt · hard negative
Named alongside
The products named in the same answers as Oracle, over the 79 answers that named it. Took the first choice instead counts the answers where the other product was the first choice and Oracle was named but was not.
ProductSame answerTook the first choice insteadHead to head
A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Oracle. 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 68 of the 79 answers that named Oracle 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 Oracle'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 Oracle, 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 oracle.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.
