NETSCOUT’s Summer 2026 G2 Recognitions

Arbor Threat Mitigation System

NETSCOUT Arbor Threat Mitigation System (TMS) earned three Leader badges in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid Reports, reinforcing its role as a trusted solution for organizations defending against sophisticated DDoS attacks.

Arbor Threat Mitigation System received the following badges:

• Leader (#2/9) — Enterprise Grid for DDoS Protection
• Leader (#5/25) — Grid Report for DDoS Protection
• Leader (#29/181) — Grid Report for Web Security

These recognitions highlight Arbor TMS’ continued leadership in helping security teams detect, analyze, and mitigate DDoS attacks with confidence. By combining high-performance mitigation with actionable visibility, the solution helps organizations protect critical services while supporting the operational needs of modern security teams.

Arbor Edge Defense

NETSCOUT Arbor Edge Defense (AED) was recognized as:

• Leader (#1/9) — Enterprise Grid for DDoS Protection

AED earned the top position in the Enterprise Grid for DDoS Protection, paired with TMS earning the second spot, demonstrating strong customer confidence in AED’s and NETSCOUT’s overall ability to stop threats before they disrupt business-critical applications and services. Purpose-built to provide always-on protection at the network edge, AED helps organizations reduce risk, preserve availability, and strengthen their security posture against evolving attack activity.

AED acts as a “shield at the network edge, blocking DDoS attacks and malware communications before they reach and overwhelm your firewall,” according to a recent review. The reviewer adds that “It uses stateless packet inspection and global intelligence to ensure that only legitimate traffic enters the company, maintaining service availability without downtime.”

Arbor Sightline

NETSCOUT Arbor Sightline was recognized as:

·         Leader (#3/13) — Enterprise Grid Report for Network Management Tools

Arbor Sightline gives organizations the networkwide visibility and analytics needed to understand traffic patterns, detect anomalies, and respond quickly to issues that may affect service performance or availability. This Leader recognition reflects the value customers place on deep network intelligence, scalable visibility, and the ability to make faster, better-informed operational decisions.

NETSCOUT Network and Application Observability

NETSCOUT network and application observability was recognized as:

• Leader (#8/34) — Grid Report for Enterprise Monitoring

As enterprise environments become more distributed across data centers, cloud platforms, remote sites, and hybrid infrastructure, end-to-end observability is essential. NETSCOUT network and application observability helps IT teams gain the visibility they need to identify performance issues, support critical applications, and deliver reliable digital experiences across complex environments.

One recent reviewer loves that NETSCOUT network and application observability helps to pinpoint cloud latency spikes and check for load balancer or application code issues, which has helped the enterprise “streamline our troubleshooting process by providing a single source of truth for network data.”

This recognition highlights the importance of packet-derived intelligence and comprehensive monitoring in helping organizations manage performance, reduce troubleshooting time, and improve service assurance.

Why G2 Recognition Matters

G2 Grid Reports evaluate products using a combination of customer satisfaction and market presence. Customer satisfaction is informed by verified user reviews, including feedback on areas such as ease of use, quality of support, implementation experience, product reliability, and likelihood to recommend.

Market presence considers a product’s overall footprint, adoption, visibility, and momentum in the market. Products that perform strongly across both dimensions are positioned as Leaders, indicating that they have earned customer trust while demonstrating meaningful market strength.

Because G2 reports are grounded in feedback from real users, they offer a useful perspective on how solutions perform for the teams that rely on them every day.

Helping Customers Protect and Assure Digital Services

The latest G2 Summer 2026 recognitions reflect the continued trust customers place in NETSCOUT solutions to help them:

• Maintain availability for critical applications and services
• Gain deeper visibility across enterprise and service provider networks
• Detect anomalies and performance issues faster
• Reduce operational complexity for security and IT operations teams
• Improve service assurance across hybrid and distributed environments

Recognition across DDoS protection, web security, network management, and enterprise monitoring demonstrates the breadth of NETSCOUT’s ability to support both security and performance objectives. Whether organizations are working to stop attacks, improve network visibility, or assure application performance, NETSCOUT provides the intelligence and technology needed to operate with confidence.
