JetBrains Earns 180 G2 Badges in Fall 2026, Recognized for Enterprise Leadership, Usability, and Developer Experience

Discover how JetBrains products are recognized for enterprise leadership, developer experience, and ease of adoption, and why this matters for engineering teams looking to improve productivity and scale with confidence.

In fall 2026, JetBrains earned 180 G2 badges across multiple award categories, including Enterprise Leadership, Best Usability, Best Relationship, Easiest Setup, and Easiest Admin.

These awards are based on verified reviews from people who use JetBrains products every day. For engineering leaders and organizations evaluating development tools, this independent recognition highlights JetBrains’ commitment to the developer experience, team productivity, and supporting engineering teams at scale.

Spanning Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Small Business categories, the recognition goes beyond product leadership to cover usability, support, administration, setup, customer relationships, and how well products meet users’ requirements.

To engineering leaders, that matters because individual usability is just one factor when evaluating a development tool. Setup, administration, and the operational effort required to support multiple users are also key considerations.

JetBrains IDEs receiving badges included:

More of the stack covered without more vendors

Most engineering teams already run multiple languages and stacks. That usually means multiple vendors, each with its own security review, contract, and support relationship.

The JetBrains ecosystem changes that math. Ten IDEs cover every major language, and five of them hold a G2 Leader badge for Fall 2026.

Three more IDEs, two extensions, an issue tracker, and a decompiler received other G2 recognition this cycle. So did Kotlin, the language we built for modern application development. With this kind of breadth and depth of validated quality from a single source, keeping a short vendor list becomes an advantage – not a compromise.

More AI, less switching

In the daily development grind, IDEs now coexist with an ever-growing array of AI tools and workflows. The IDEs that earn their keep are the ones that stay reliable, understand the codebase, and hold up during AI-generated code reviews.

That same reliability carries over to how teams adopt AI. JetBrains products are built to integrate with new models, agents, and bring-your-own-key setups, not work around them. Adding AI capabilities shouldn’t mean giving up tools your team already trusts.

If your organization is weighing how to give developers this kind of flexibility – without losing visibility into cost, security, or governance – see what JetBrains for Business offers at jetbrains.com/business.
