Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 10 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Start with a demo of Vena (if you love Excel) or Adaptive Insights (if you want a clean web interface). These two cover the vast majority of mid-sized B2B use cases” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Corporate performance ma · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“#1 in G2 Mid-Market Grid for Budgeting/Forecasting & Financial Analysis (Summer 2024)... For comprehensive planning: Vena or Planful (top G2 mid-market leaders).” Grok 4.1 Fast · FP&A platforms · direct prompt · first choice
“corporate performance management (CPM/FP&A) for budgeting, forecasting, and reporting, then Vena or Datarails are stronger fits for mid-sized companies” Perplexity Sonar · Corporate performance ma · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Best For: Mid-market companies ($50M–$500M+ revenue) that are deeply committed to Excel and need enterprise-grade security and workflows.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · FP&A platforms · direct 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.
“Strong negative quotes (e.g., "would rather eat a bullet than use it again"); 16-58% negative labels” Grok 4.1 Fast · FP&A platforms · negative prompt · hard negative
“Excel-based tools (e.g., Vena, Datarails): Lack enterprise scalability—avoid for large orgs.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Corporate performance ma · negative prompt · hard negative
“Vena Solutions | Mid-market deployments start around $75K–$250K in year one” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Corporate performance ma · budget prompt · hard negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. 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 Vena. 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 344 of the 398 answers that named Vena and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page venasolutions.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.
Names read as Vena
What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Vena; a claim can dispute any of them.

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 Vena'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 Vena, 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 Vena by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Vena 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 Vena, 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.
