In the Fall 2026 Grid Reports from G2, NETSCOUT has been recognized as a leader in 14 categories across distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection and observability, as well as multiple regional awards. These honors are directly related to customer confidence in NETSCOUT solutions’ capabilities in protecting organizations from cyberattacks and assuring network and application performance. 

G2’s Grid Reports are derived from real, verified customer reviews and market presence data, which gives buyers valuable insights into how technology solutions perform in real-world applications. Peer-driven insights into real experiences can help organizations evaluating cybersecurity and observability solutions make informed decisions about vendors they want to contact and learn more about.

For the fall reports, NETSCOUT was recognized across DDoS protection, observability software, enterprise monitoring, web security, and network management tools categories, showing the powerful and robust product offerings provided.

NETSCOUT network and application observability solutions help enterprise and service provider IT and network teams understand not only what issues are happening across cloud, data centers, remote sites, and other network environments, but also why they are happening. This reduces the time needed to troubleshoot, restoring peak performance more quickly.

One recent review praises NETSCOUT’s powerful network visibility this way: “The best part is its unique, high-fidelity ‘Smart Data’ from deep packet inspection (DPI). It delivers true, unsampled visibility across complex hybrid environments, helping eliminate blind spots and get to the real root cause quickly.”

Packet-derived intelligence is incredibly valuable for teams to maintain peak performance across all network environments. This recognition validates that and shows that even the largest networks can benefit from this deep insight.

Arbor TMS continues to showcase why it is trusted by many of the world’s largest enterprises and service providers for maintaining availability of key networks, applications, and services.

NETSCOUT Arbor Edge Defense was recognized as:

• Leader (#2/9)—Enterprise Grid for DDoS Protection

Arbor Edge Defense also earns consistent praise for its DDoS protection capabilities. With many use cases, such as on-premise stateless DDoS defense, providing CDN-aware DDoS mitigation, and even stopping non-DDoS attacks including brute-force password attacks, inbound scanning, or outbound or inbound communications to known malicious sites, Arbor Edge Defense provides strong safeguards against multiple types of cyberattacks. This protection is improved by NETSCOUT’s ATLAS Intelligence Feed integration.
