G2’s Spring Reports: Watching the Top Trends Bloom Across 27,000+ Reports

The lingering snow has melted, the sun is finally hanging around past 5:00 p.m., and the pollen is in the air, which can only mean that spring is upon us! It’s time to trade the blankets for some fresh air and sunshine as we shake off the winter hibernation for a much-needed fresh start.

Now that we’re leaning into the season of new beginnings, it also means that G2’s Spring 2026 Reports have arrived!

The thousands of quarterly Market Reports feature rankings of software products and services based on the latest data. Discover the tools right for your business — it’s simple to filter by category, product, segment, and report type — all available with a quick, free log-in to g2.com/reports.

Over the last quarter, we’ve added roughly 1.72% more reports, totaling 27,019! Even with all of these brand-new G2 Spring 2026 Reports, just 3% of the software products and services on G2 received a Leader badge.

We are thrilled to recognize the G2 Leaders defining the top-right quadrant and to applaud every company represented in this latest release. Whether you’re climbing the rankings for the first time, maintaining your status as a category staple, or diversifying your reach across the market, your presence in these reports reflects the voice of your users. Congratulations to all those featured on your continued success!

Let’s dive right into which vendors and products won big in Spring 2026 and the other trends we’ve seen over the past quarter.

Software companies and products on G2 with the most reports

While the top 10 list of companies featured most frequently in reports remains unchanged from last quarter, we noticed some exciting momentum among the vendors. For starters, Zoho climbed from fourth to second, appearing in 1,076 more reports – representing a 32% increase in report presence in a single quarter. And Microsoft appears in 122 more reports!

Regarding the top 10 products with the most G2 reports, ClickUp continues to hold its number one spot with 1,586 reports across 38 categories – 47 more reports than last quarter.

Also worth highlighting are Zoom Workplace and Google Workspace, which are new to this list this quarter. Salesforce Sales Cloud has demonstrated impressive momentum, moving from eighth to third, while Semrush climbed from ninth to fifth on this list.

Companies and products with the most #1 rankings and the highest G2 scores

Next, let’s break down who secured the most #1 report rankings and the highest G2 Scores. Starting with the companies that achieved the most #1 rankings, most maintained their spots from last quarter, although Zoho and Insider One are new entrants with 312 and 225 rankings, respectively.

Not only does Salesforce remain the dominant winner, holding the #1 spot last quarter too, but its lead is also widening, growing from 1,015 top rankings last season to 1,050 in Spring 2026.

When it comes to products with the most #1 rankings, Google Workspace held onto its top spot from last season with 407 number one reports. Insider One, Miro, and GitHub are all new names in our #1 rankings list.

Let’s now take a look at the top performances by G2 Score, based on reviews gathered from our user community and data aggregated from online sources and social networks. We apply a unique algorithm to this data to calculate the Customer Satisfaction and Market Presence scores in real time.

Huge congratulations to Canva for taking the crown and the number one spot on this list, and sending a shout-out to so many newcomers: Miro, Infuse, NinjaOne, and Xero.

The battle for the top product by G2 Score is always a fun one to watch, and there are a lot of fun shakeups this quarter. Visual Studio Code snagged the number one spot, which came in second in our Winter report. Microsoft SharePoint snagged the spot number 2, despite not appearing in the top 10 last season.

There are some other new names to this list, too, including Salesforce Customer Success, Windows 11, and Elogic Commerce.

The most improved products this season

Now, let’s acknowledge some of the most improved products this past season. LeadSquared Sales CRM deserves recognition for jumping 122 spots in our CRM category! Copper also made big movements in our CRM category, jumping 117 spots.

Several products grew enough over the last three months to move into the #1 spot in their respective categories. When it comes to the most improved #1-ranked products, D&B Finance Analytics Credit Intelligence takes the cake for seeing the most significant leap. This product rose from the 34th spot to #1 in the Financial Analysis category. We’d also like to give a shoutout to Geotab for moving from 21 to 1 in the Route Planning category!

The rank change list is another fun one to watch, as it always features a wide range of categories — from User-Generated Content to IoT Management.

The categories growing and emerging on G2

There are over 2,000 software and service categories on G2, with 1,351 represented in our Spring 2026 reports.

It’s no surprise that so many AI categories made the list this year, as Agentic AI took our number one spot with 30 products added, with AI Agents on its heels with 26. Three other AI categories made this list – including most notably, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), which is new to the list this quarter.

It’s noteworthy that Agentic AI is at the top of this list this quarter, as it was the second-fastest-growing category last quarter with 24 products added. Also of note, AEO made its debut in our Winter Report as a new “report-ready” category, so it’s extra exciting to see that just one quarter later, AEO has matured into a "Top Product Growth" category, with 12 new products added this season.

Now, let’s dive into the categories on G2 that feature a Grid® Report for the first time. Not all categories on G2 are reflected in our Reports. We first need to make sure there is enough data to support the analysis and rankings. According to our G2 Methodology, a software or service category becomes eligible for a Grid® Report when it has at least 6 products with over 10 reviews and over 150 reviews overall.

These are the 16 new report-ready categories this quarter.

• Application Security Posture Management (ASPM): A comprehensive cybersecurity solution that safeguards software applications against potential threats. The process involves continuously assessing, monitoring, and enhancing an organization's application security posture.

• Artificial Intelligence Consulting: These tools help businesses drive and leverage AI and machine learning (ML) strategies and development. AI consultants do not necessarily provide proprietary software solutions, but instead help businesses understand ML solutions or support them in building their own.

• Consumer Insights Platforms: These software solutions allow organizations to design research studies, connect with consumer audiences, and analyze results in a single system. They also reduce reliance on traditional research agencies, making consumer insights more accessible, repeatable, and cost-efficient.

• Data Security Posture Management (DSPM): This type of software helps organizations assess, manage, and strengthen the security of sensitive data across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. They also identify where sensitive data resides, classify it, evaluate risk levels, and implement or recommend remediations to ensure compliance and prevent data breaches.

• Deduction Management: These tools help businesses manage disputes and deductions. These deductions include rebates, discounts, returns, or other changes made to invoices or payments.

• Guest Messaging: This type of software enables hotel operators and employees to establish a personalized communication channel with individual guests for notifications, instructions, or service. They also ensure optimal guest experiences and staff workflows through timely messages and responses.

• IT Resilience Orchestration Automation (ITRO): ITRO software is used to bolster IT service availability and reduce failover by automating IT infrastructure operations.

• Large Language Models (LLMs): LLMs are advanced artificial intelligence systems specifically engineered to comprehend, interpret, and generate human-like text from a wide array of inputs. They are often integrated into existing applications and systems to automate language-heavy tasks, such as powering conversational interfaces and supporting reasoning-driven insights.

• Owned Media: These platforms enable companies and creators to distribute content to build, engage, and monetize their audience. These tools provide features focused on hosting a range of content and media on a destination property, including articles, videos, podcasts, live streams, and other editorial formats.

• Professional Tax: Also referred to as professional tax preparation software, these tools are used by tax preparers, CPAs, and enrolled agents to file individual and business tax returns.

• Protective Intelligence Platforms: These platforms allow security teams to proactively identify and mitigate threats for key security needs, including executive protection, workplace violence, facility or on-premise security, and emergency and crisis management.

• Restaurant Reservations: To optimize operations, restaurants need specialized software to manage the daily customer influx and reservations. This type of software allows customers to book tables and helps managers schedule employees according to customer traffic.

• Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms: SASE is a cybersecurity architecture built to tackle modern computing environments. Traditionally, companies utilize numerous point solutions to secure access to networks and connections and manage identities.

• Secure Enterprise Browser: These are web browsers specifically designed for businesses. They have advanced security capabilities built into the browser when compared to a standard consumer browser.

• Semantic Layer Tools: This type of software provides a centralized layer for defining and managing business metrics, calculations, and logic, ensuring everyone in an organization works with a consistent view of the data.

• Virtual Receptionist Services: Also known as answering services, these tools offer outsourced customer service and front desk professionals for businesses. Virtual receptionists mainly benefit small businesses or businesses with a small budget.
