FAQs

What are the G2 Best Software Awards?

G2’s Annual Best Software Awards ranks the world’s best software companies and products based on authentic, timely reviews from real users.

How are the winners determined?

30 different lists are generated using G2’s proprietary algorithm based on G2’s verified user reviews and publicly available market presence data. The top 100 software companies are ranked based on a combination of Satisfaction and Market Presence scores. The top 100 products are ranked based on reviews across all categories they are a part of. Satisfaction is an aggregate score based on a company’s products across their assigned categories. More tailored company and product lists (e.g., "India Software Companies" and "Products for Small Businesses") feature a smaller set of winners at 50 appearing on each list.

Read more about the methodology used to calculate G2’s Best Software Awards here.

How many reviews does a vendor need to be eligible?

To be included in one of G2’s Best Software Sellers or Best Software Products Lists, a software company or product must receive at least 50 approved and published reviews during the 2022 calendar year. Scores reflect only data from reviews submitted during this evaluation period.

How are the Best Software Awards different from quarterly badge lists?

For G2’s annual Best Software Awards, the scores reflect reviews submitted in the evaluation period - in this case, the calendar year 2022. Other G2 reports might include more or less data which would potentially show different rankings for software companies and products. Also, broadly-defined “Other” categories such as “Other Marketing Software” and “Other IT Security Software” were excluded to ensure we were evaluating products with relevant comparative scoring.

Read more about G2’s research scoring methodologies.

Can software sellers and products win multiple awards?

Yes. A software seller and/or product has the potential to be named on multiple lists based on its eligibility and rankings.

How are reviews verified and vetted?

It is important to us at G2 to be objective and trustworthy, with reviews being thoroughly vetted. To ensure this, we require the use of a LinkedIn™ account or verified business email address to validate a G2 reviewer’s identity and current employer. We also validate reviewers by partnering with companies to securely authenticate users through select platforms. We do not allow users to leave reviews for their current employers, former employers, or competitors.

For more information on the reviews process, view G2’s community guidelines.

Were G2’s 2023 Best Software Lists researched and published using the same methodology and criteria as past years? If not, what is new?

To be more inclusive of software companies and products, in 2022, we reduced the number of vendor-level reviews per calendar year to be eligible - from 100 to 50. This criteria is being leveraged for the 2023 list as well. Being eligible of course does not guarantee inclusion on a list.

In 2023, we also added net-new lists for:

  • Companies
    • UK Software Companies
    • France Software Companies
    • Germany Software Companies
  • Products (persona-based)
    • Best products for professionals in Customer Service
