Let’s dive right into which vendors and products won big in Summer 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, there is some exciting momentum among the vendors.

For instance, Adobe gained an impressive 704 reports this quarter, the biggest single-quarter jump in the top 10 list. Also noteworthy is that SAP gained 407 reports, while IBM appears in 218 more reports.

Regarding the top 10 products with the most G2 reports, ClickUp continues to hold its number one spot with 1,598 reports across 38 categories — snagging 9 more reports than last quarter.

Also worth highlighting is that SAP SuccessFactors HCM is new to this list this quarter. In terms of momentum, Rippling moved from the seventh to the fifth spot.

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. Notably, Adobe is a new entrant to this list with 335 #1 rankings.

When it comes to products with the most #1 rankings, Google Workspace held onto its top spot from last season with 383 #1 reports.

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.

Canva is holding strong to its crown from last season by widening the gap, improving its G2 Score from 89.24 in Spring to 89.94 this season.

We'd like to welcome OpenAI as a newcomer to this list for the season! This is a notable milestone for a company that, unlike its peers on this list, doesn't sell software so much as power it.

The battle for the top product by G2 Score is always a fun one to watch, and there are several shakeups this quarter. Microsoft SharePoint snagged the top spot after being in second last quarter. There are some other new names to this list, too, including Behance and PayPal Payments.

The most improved products this season

Now, let’s acknowledge some of the most improved products this past season. Attio deserves a callout for jumping 143 spots in our CRM category. Personio also made major moves, improving 131 spots in the Survey category.

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, Paycom takes the cake for seeing the most significant leap. This product rose from the 21st spot to #1 in the Microlearning Platforms category.

The rank change list is another fun one to watch, as it always features a wide range of categories — from Digital Adoption Platforms to Hotel Reservations.

Services spotlight: the services standing out on G2 in Summer 2026

In addition to highlighting companies and products, I’m excited to share that this quarter, we’re also giving dedicated recognition to the top Services on G2!

Shout out to SmartSites with the most reports this quarter at 15. SmartBug Media and WebFX are close behind, each with 12 reports for Summer 2026.

For services, SHI has the most #1 rankings with 4, while Pilot and Tapptidude follow closely with 3 reports each.

And kudos to Salesforce Customer Success for earning the top G2 score this quarter among services.

The categories growing and emerging on G2

There are over 2,000 software and service categories on G2, with 1,363 represented in our Summer 2026 reports.

It’s no surprise that so many AI categories made the list this year – especially those related to agents. Agentic AI held strong to its #1 spot from last quarter (adding 26 products), with AI Agents on its heels (adding 21), and AEO following in third (adding 14).

Now, let’s dive into the categories on G2 that feature a Grid® Report for the first time. Not all G2 categories 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 a total of over 150 reviews.

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

• Zero Trust Platforms: Zero trust is a strategic security concept and framework built on the principle that no implicit trust is granted to entities, assets, user accounts, or digital assets or connections based solely on simple factors. These platforms include broad features like identity and access management (IAM), device security, network security, data security, application security, visibility and analytics, automation and orchestration capabilities, integration and interoperability, and compliance and policy management.

• Software Design Platforms: These tools allow users to diagram and create the blueprints of web pages or applications, and then create incomplete or preliminary versions of that software. They offer the capabilities of both wireframing software and prototyping software to handle the complete preliminary creation process.

• Auto Shop Management: This type of software helps auto repair businesses manage daily operations and administrative tasks by providing shops with a range of features to streamline various aspects of running a mechanics business, such as customer appointment scheduling, inventory management, billing, customer relationship management (CRM), marketing, and reporting.

• Population Health Management: With these types of tools, healthcare organizations and providers can better create patient care plans, track patient outcomes, and achieve measurable improvements in the health outcomes of a community.

• Investor Reporting: This type of software manages the release of financial reports, press releases, events, and more to investors. These solutions are driven by the fiduciary responsibility that companies have to their investors to update them on performance.
• Yard Management: These tools monitor and track the movement of trucks, trailers, and other vehicles in the yard of a manufacturing facility. They’re used to provide information on the location of vehicles to improve communication between yard managers and drivers, enabling employees to fulfill orders in a more efficient manner.
