Action1 Reinforces Its Market Leadership as a G2 Winter 2026 Leader in Patch Management and Endpoint Management
We are proud to share that Action1 achieved impressive results and recognition in the G2 Winter 2026 Reports from the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplace. Our autonomous endpoint management platform took home 186 badges across 190 reports.
What makes this achievement even more valuable is the fact that these rankings come straight from real users, as G2 bases its evaluations on verified customer reviews and independent market data, not subjective analyst opinions.
The last couple of years have made one thing clear: business owners and IT professionals no longer underestimate the importance of keeping their systems secure, updated, and compliant.
They’ve learned that effective cybersecurity starts with continuous patch management as the critical first layer that closes vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. Only with this foundation in place can additional security measures like XDR, MDR, or firewalls deliver their full value.
Action1 helps you achieve this faster, smarter, and at scale by delivering end-to-end automation from vulnerability identification to remediation and report generation, and the G2 Winter 2026 Reports reflect that impact.
Double Leadership Recognition
Action1’s widespread adoption by businesses of all sizes, combined with the platform’s continuous development, once again earned us a leadership position in the following G2 rankings:
- Market Leader in Patch Management for the third quarter in a row, and in Endpoint Management for the fourth straight quarter.
- Momentum Leader across multiple categories, including Patch Management and Endpoint Management. What’s more, we’ve held this position in every G2 report since 2023, clearly showing continued growth with no signs of slowing down.
What drives these results? Our team stays motivated and laser-focused on enhancing existing features and introducing new ones that make customers’ lives easier and help protect every endpoint across their network with minimal effort and maximum efficiency.
As a result, we continue to see higher customer satisfaction alongside a stronger market presence, proving that Action1 just works and helps organizations minimize security risks and strengthen their overall security posture.
Undoubtedly, all these factors fuel Action1’s exceptional growth. In 2025, we experienced 127% year-over-year growth and a 233% increase in customers with ARR over $100,000 while maintaining a 98% customer retention rate.
In 2025, our AEM platform ranked #4 among the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies, #9 in the Software & Services industry, and #16 overall on the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ among the fastest-growing tech companies in North America.
On top of that, in August 2025, Action1 was named the fastest-growing private software company in America by Inc. 5000, underscoring our position as a prominent market leader and innovator.
186 Badges Across Multiple G2 Categories
Action1 once again earned praise for its ease of use, implementation speed, real-world results, and customer experience in the G2 Winter 2026 Index Reports, receiving a record-breaking 186 badges.
- Implementation & Usability – Our AEM platform secured badges for Most Implementable, Easiest Setup, Best Usability, and Easiest to Use across several categories including Endpoint Management and Autonomous Endpoint Management.
- Customer Relationships – Multiple awards across top-three rankings, with badges for Best Support, Best Relationship, and Users Most Likely to Recommend across five categories.
That level of recognition doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of a relentless focus on intuitive design, automation that saves you time, and support that makes you feel like you have a trusted IT partner. We deliver this through cloud-native architecture, which means no on-premises hardware, no VPN, and setup that takes minutes, not days.
Once deployed, an intuitive interface makes the platform accessible from day one, whether you’re managing 50 endpoints or 50,000. The automation continues with update rings that handle patch rollouts autonomously and risk-free, while cross-platform support covers Windows, macOS, Linux, and 600+ third-party applications. This is the kind of platform that IT teams actually enjoy using, and that’s exactly why customers keep recommending it.
What users say on G2 for Action1
Action1’s recognition by G2 is backed by 800+ verified reviews with an outstanding 4.9/5 average rating. But the real story is how IT teams like yours are using Action1 to transform their patching processes:
Action1 makes it easy to get started quickly and begin patching within minutes. It also supports both Windows and Mac environments, making it easier to manage mixed device fleets.
“I appreciate how Action1 handles vulnerability scanning, mitigation, and patch management more effectively than most remote monitoring and management tools’ built-in patching. I like the compatibility with both PC and Mac, which ensures that I can manage a diverse range of systems seamlessly. The expansive and continually growing list of supported software is another aspect I enjoy because it simplifies my workflow by automatically detecting and managing the software without the need for manual input. I have shifted from other patch management tools, including those integrated with RMM systems, as this just works better overall. Setup is easy. It only took about five minutes, from account creation to deploying agents and starting patching operations. Finally, I will recommend Action1 to others, rating it as a 10 out of 10.”
The dashboards provide clear visibility into patching and vulnerabilities at a glance. You can easily drill down into specific segments for more detailed reporting when needed.
“I like Action1 for its simplicity and visibility. The fantastic dashboards give me all the information I need on one page, broken down into easy-to-read segments, and I can click on each segment to drill deeper for more detailed info. The initial setup of Action1 was very simple and straightforward. I find these aspects really valuable in ensuring reliable and automated patching and updates.”
Action1 helps centralize patching and asset inventory while reducing manual work through automation. Remote access is also easy to roll out, which simplifies day-to-day IT support.
“I love the ease of use and how easy it is to get started with Action1. The automation features are robust, and the system effectively flags a wide variety of vulnerabilities. I find the centralization and automation of updates and asset inventory extremely helpful, as it significantly simplifies our workload. The remote access capabilities are easier and quicker to roll out compared to our previous solutions, such as TeamViewer. Additionally, the automated patching and updates feature works very well, allowing us to efficiently manage software updates. Overall, Action1 has been instrumental in helping us clear our backlog, providing a comprehensive solution for our needs.”
Automations can significantly reduce the time spent on routine patching tasks. The free tier for the first 200 endpoints (with full functionality) also makes it easy to get started and evaluate the platform.
“Action1 has been a wonderful asset to my management stack. The automations have made it possible to greatly reduce manual workload. Being free for the first 200 endpoints with no functionality limitations makes this a no brainer for anyone looking for a patch management system. They are constantly releasing tons of new features and functionality.”
