How G2 Grid Reports Work

G2’s Grid Reports evaluate software products based on two primary factors: customer satisfaction and market presence.

Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction scores are derived from verified user reviews submitted by real customers. These reviews assess several factors, including:

• Ease of use
• Ease of administration
• Implementation experience
• Quality of support
• Product capabilities and reliability
• Likelihood to recommend the product

This feedback provides valuable insight into how well solutions perform in real operational environments.

Market Presence

Market presence reflects the overall footprint and adoption of a product, calculated using publicly available data and third-party metrics such as:

• Company size and growth
• Product adoption and customer base
• Market share indicators
• Social and web presence
• Team member scale and momentum

Products that score highly in both customer satisfaction and market presence are positioned in the Leader quadrant of the Grid.

Momentum and Usability Reports

In addition to the main Grid rankings, G2 also publishes specialized reports that evaluate additional product characteristics.

Momentum Grid Reports measure the growth trajectory of a product, taking into account factors such as review growth, review ratings trends, and market engagement.

Usability Index Reports evaluate the overall user experience, including ease of setup, ease of use, and ease of administration.

These reports highlight products that deliver both strong performance and a streamlined experience for users.

Delivering Value for Customers

These recognitions reflect the trust customers place in NETSCOUT solutions to help them:

• Defend against increasingly sophisticated DDoS attacks
• Maintain high-performance networks and applications
• Gain deep visibility across hybrid and multicloud environments
• Reduce operational complexity for security and operations teams

Being recognized across multiple categories—including DDoS protection, web security, network management, and enterprise monitoring—underscores NETSCOUT’s ability to deliver comprehensive visibility and protection for today’s digital services.
