When buyers inquire about Privileged remote access software, AI engines frequently mention BeyondTrust as the leader in this category. With a leader visibility percentage of 50.0%, BeyondTrust stands out, followed by Splashtop and Delinea. These brands garner significant recognition, indicating their strong presence in the market and robust offerings that meet various security needs.

The rankings are influenced by sources such as YouTube, Gartner, and company sites like Splashtop.com and BeyondTrust.com. The prominence of aggregator and review sites like Gartner suggests that user reviews and professional assessments play a crucial role in shaping AI-generated recommendations, providing a balanced view of brand efficacy and reputation in specific subcategories.

For buyers evaluating options from this list, focusing on recent reviews and third-party validations from trusted sources is vital. AI engines prioritize these elements, reflecting the importance of up-to-date feedback and recognized topical authority. Ensuring these factors align with your specific needs can guide a more informed decision, enhancing the selection process for the best-suited brand.

What we observed in this category

BeyondTrust dominates this category with a visibility score of 50%, against a category average of just 4.4%, and a citation rate of 75%, making it the only brand with truly broad AI presence. The next three brands, Splashtop, Delinea, and CyberArk, each sit at 12.5% visibility, a gap of 37.5 percentage points below BeyondTrust. That concentration at the top means buyers receiving AI-generated answers are overwhelmingly being directed toward a single vendor, which has significant competitive implications for everyone else in the field.

CyberArk presents the clearest divergence between visibility and citation in this dataset. It holds 12.5% visibility but registers 0% citations, meaning AI responses mention it without anchoring to its own domain as a source. Conversely, ManageEngine, SecureLink, and SSH PrivX each score 0% visibility yet achieve 25% citation rates, indicating their web content is being used as a reference source without those brands being named in AI answers. This split between being named and being trusted as a source is a defining pattern in this category.

Google AI Mode is the top engine for every single brand in this dataset, confirming the audit is anchored entirely on that one surface. Among the top cited sources, gartner.com and youtube.com appear alongside vendor-owned domains such as beyondtrust.com and splashtop.com, suggesting AI answers in this category blend third-party analyst content with direct vendor material. The presence of smaller or less-recognised domains like deskin.io and realvnc.com in the cited sources list indicates the AI is drawing from a wider, less predictable content pool than category leaders alone.

How to read this ranking

Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.

Citation rate = being trusted

Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →

Top engine differs by brand

The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
