Three Gravyty Products Earn G2 Summer 2026 Badges
Ivy & Ocelot, Graduway, and Athlete Network each received recognition in the G2 Summer 2026 Reports, one of the most widely referenced independent sources for software evaluation in higher education and beyond.
G2 badges aren’t handed out. They’re earned through verified reviews from actual users. Every quarter, G2 analyzes thousands of customer reviews, satisfaction scores, and market presence data to determine which products rise to the top of their categories. If a product earns a badge, it’s because the people using it said so.
Here’s what the Gravyty suite earned this summer and what each badge reflects.
What G2 badges actually mean
G2 is the world’s largest software marketplace, with over 2 million verified reviews across more than 2,000 software categories. Each quarter, G2 publishes Grid Reports that rank products within their categories based on two axes: customer satisfaction (drawn from user reviews) and market presence (company size, review volume, social reach, and more).
The badges that come out of those reports (e.g. Leader, High Performer, Best Support) represent real positions on that grid, backed by the voices of real users. For higher ed administrators evaluating software vendors, G2 recognition is a meaningful signal.
Ivy & Ocelot: Best Support — Small Business
The Best Support badge recognizes products where users consistently rate the quality of customer support higher than the category average. For Ivy & Ocelot, our AI-powered student engagement platform, this reflects something our team works hard to deliver: a real, responsive partnership with every institution we work with.
Implementing a conversational AI platform across student-facing channels — chat, SMS, voice, email, WhatsApp — is complex work. Institutions need a vendor that shows up during onboarding and stays available after go-live. G2 reviewers flagged ease of implementation, accessible training, and responsive support as standout strengths. That feedback is the foundation of this badge.
For institutions evaluating AI chatbot solutions, it’s a useful reminder: the technology matters, but so does the team behind it.
Graduway: Leader
Leader is the highest-tier recognition on G2’s Grid. Products earn it by scoring well on both customer satisfaction and market presence, meaning users rate them highly and the product has established meaningful presence in its category.
Graduway’s Leader badge in its category reflects the platform’s standing as a go-to solution for alumni engagement and community building. Institutions use Graduway to connect alumni with each other and with current students for mentorship, career development, and long-term giving relationships. Earning Leader status signals that these programs are delivering real value, as measured by the people running them.
Athlete Network: High Performer
High Performer badges go to products with high customer satisfaction scores relative to their category — even if they’re newer to the market or working from a smaller footprint. It’s a signal that users are getting strong value and that word is spreading.
Athlete Network’s High Performer recognition reflects the traction this platform has built among athletic departments looking to engage student-athletes beyond the playing field. The platform connects athletes to alumni and career opportunities, extending the engagement model that’s long defined alumni relations into a population institutions are increasingly focused on retaining and supporting.
Recognition built on user feedback
Three badges across three products in a single quarter reflects the breadth of what Gravyty’s platform covers — from student enrollment support to alumni engagement to athlete success. And because G2 recognition is driven entirely by user reviews, it reflects something more valuable than analyst rankings: the experience of advancement, alumni, and student success professionals doing this work every day.
To the clients and institutions who took the time to leave a review: Thank you. Your feedback is what makes recognition like this meaningful.
