We’ve had a big season at Hygraph, and the results from the G2 Winter 2025 reports are proof that keeps growing. We are excited to announce that we’ve been awarded 65 badges and appeared in 97 reports! These rankings and awards show how we’re solving problems and creating value for our customers of all sizes.

#Overall achievement

The G2 Winter Reports show just how far we’ve come. Compared to last year, we’ve grown by 132% in badges, going from 28 in Winter 2024 to 65 in Winter 2025. We’re also featured in 56% more reports, making it 97 reports in total, proving we’re making an impact across the board. In the Headless CMS grid, we are ranked 3rd.

We keep getting good reviews for our work in the enterprise sector, and now it’s reflected with G2 awards. This recognition is a testament to Hygrah's ability to serve enterprise customers. At the same time, we’re still leading the way for small businesses, gaining multiple #1 spots, and we continue to grow strongly in the mid-market sector.

#Providing excellent user experiences

The most notable facts are that we are the 1st in Enterprise Usability Index, 1st in Implementation Index for Headless CMS, and the 1st in User Satisfaction out of 93 headless CMSs.

Earning these 3 recognitions means that we are delivering a complete, balanced experience from start to finish. Companies no longer settle for powerful but difficult-to-use tools or flexible but difficult-to-implement platforms, and Hygraph is setting a new benchmark for what's possible when it comes to balancing all these aspects.

Highlights include:

  • 1st in Implementation Index for Headless CMS | Winter 2025
  • 1st in Enterprise Usability Index for Headless CMS | Winter 2025
  • 1st in user satisfaction across all Headless CMSes
  • 1st in Small-Business Usability Index for Headless CMS | Winter 2025
  • 1st in Small-Business Results Index for Headless CMS | Winter 2025
  • 1st in Small-Business Relationship Index for Headless CMS | Winter 2025
  • 1st in Small-Business Implementation Index for Headless CMS | Winter 2025
  • 2nd in Mid-Market Implementation Index for Headless CMS | Winter 2025
Hygraph has given us the flexibility we needed. We now have full control over content, design, and integrations, which helps our editors make updates without the intervention of the developer or agency. It’s allowed us to work faster, with granular roles and permissions to prevent mistakes that can be costly to fix.

We are recognized across 9 reports in the Enterprise sector, 2 more than in Fall. We have almost doubled our enterprise badges as well (from 4 to 7), showing that we grew in this sector. These awards show that Hygraph isn’t just another tool; it’s becoming a trusted partner for some of the world’s biggest organizations like Samsung, Paramount, Lego, Dr. Oetker, etc.

We gained 1st spot in the Enterprise Usability Index report, meaning we have the best usability, are the easiest to admin, and are also easiest to use in the Enterprise Headless CMS area.

The best thing I like about Hygraph is that it is very easy to work with. The interface is intuitive as far as I and my team are concerned and because of this, uploading and managing content remains easy even for non-technical personnel of an organisation. One of the most useful is the schema builder where people can easily sort their product catalogs and technical specs which is exactly what we need for Numenda.
