Every category where a model named SAS 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 SAS yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

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

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Recognized as a leader in AML transaction monitoring, scoring highest in multiple vendor capability categories.” Mistral Small · AML monitoring · comparative prompt · first choice

“SAS is a long-established analytics-heavy AML suite” GPT-5.4 mini · AML monitoring · comparative 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 overkill like Oracle/SAS (enterprise-priced).” Grok 4.1 Fast · AML monitoring · direct prompt · hard negative

“Legacy systems like *NICE Actimize* or *SAS* are generally too expensive and require too much engineering overhead for a mid-market budget.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · AML monitoring · direct prompt · soft negative

“Legacy enterprise platforms (like NICE Actimize, SAS, or Oracle) often require: Tens of thousands in implementation fees” Kimi K2 · AML monitoring · budget prompt · soft negative

“Legacy platforms like NICE Actimize and SAS can take 12+ months; ... typically overkill unless you're a bank” DeepSeek V4 Flash · AML monitoring · scale prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SAS. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 31 of the 33 answers that named SAS and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page sas.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Is this your product?

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 SAS'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 SAS, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for SAS by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where SAS is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name SAS, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
