We’ve always believed that the best insights come from the people doing the work on the ground. That’s why our latest milestone feels especially rewarding: Watermark has been named to G2’s 2026 Best Software Awards, ranking in the Top 50 for Best Education Products.
Why this matters (to us and to you)
Unlike traditional industry awards, G2’s rankings are driven entirely by authentic, verified reviews from real users. For us, this isn’t just another trophy on the shelf, it’s a reflection of the daily impact our tools have on campuses worldwide.
Specifically, Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys was a standout. Users highlighted its ability to turn “just another survey” into a high-response engine that gives faculty and admins the data they need to actually move the needle on student success and support faculty growth.
A shared win
“This recognition is really a testament to the partnership we have with our institutions,” says Brian Robinson, SVP Product. “It’s one thing to build software; it’s another to build tools that educators and administrators trust. This award belongs to the community of users who push us to be better every day.”
As the software landscape evolves (and AI becomes a bigger part of how we all work), G2 CEO Godard Abel notes that “earning a spot on these lists signals real customer impact.” We couldn’t agree more.
To everyone who took the time to share their feedback on G2: Thank you. We’re proud to be in your corner as you continue the vital work of improving institutional quality, faculty development, and student outcomes.
