Standing

6 labels, too few to rank

A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share or quadrant is stated. Grafana was named 6 times in BI & dashboards and 1 other category, where Microsoft Power BI led with 62%. The labels and the evidence are below, counted exactly.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Grafana yet. The next is due October 1, 2026. 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 Grafana 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.

“Metrics/monitoring (time-series data) | Free self-hosted | Dev-focused; less for general BI.” Grok 4.1 Fast · BI & dashboards · budget prompt · alternative

“Grafana if your focus is time-series and observability.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · BI & dashboards · budget prompt · alternative

“Grafana is better for time-series operations dashboards” Claude Haiku 4.5 · BI & dashboards · 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Grafana. 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 1 of the 6 answers that named Grafana 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 Grafana'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 Grafana, 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 grafana.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.
