How G2 Grid® Report scores are derived

G2 rates products and sellers based on reviews gathered from their user community, as well as data aggregated from online sources and social networks, by applying a unique algorithm to calculate the Satisfaction and Market Presence scores in real time.

The Satisfaction score is based on how reviewers rate software providers’ ability to satisfy their needs in several different categories and is impacted by the following:

The Satisfaction rating is affected by the following (in order of importance):

• Customer satisfaction with end user-focused product attributes based on user reviews
• Popularity and statistical significance based on the number of reviews received by G2
• Quality of reviews received (reviews that are more thoroughly completed will be weighted more heavily)
• Age of reviews (more-recent reviews provide relevant and up-to-date information that is reflective of the current state of a product)
• Customers' satisfaction with administration-specific product attributes based on user reviews
• Overall customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Score® (NPS) based on ratings by G2 users

The Market Presence score is a combination of 15 metrics from G2 reviews, publicly available information and third-party sources. Software sellers and individual products are measured on various criteria, including a number of employees, reviews, web presence, social presence, growth, seller age, and employee satisfaction and engagement.
