What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
Box
Box — Best for enterprises prioritizing secure external collaboration and a modern cloud content layer, with unusually strong built-in governance, e-signature, AI-assisted extraction/search, and content-centric automation.
ChatGPT
SharePoint
My buyer-oriented ranking My genuine default choice for a dedicated DMS is M-Files; however, a company already standardized on Microsoft 365 should evaluate SharePoint first, because it can be the best-value answer when implemented with disciplined information architecture and governance.

Where the models split.
Across the 1 category Box and SharePoint both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks SharePoint ahead at least as often as not, with Claude the most lopsided.
