HiveMQ has done it again, earning in Fall 2025—as in previous quarters—G2 recognition across multiple regions and technology categories. This G2 recognition underscores HiveMQ’s sustained commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. Foremost among the accolades earned is the Leader badge across three categories (IoT Connectivity Management, Message Queue, and IoT Management categories) as well as other badges shown and profiled below.

G2 Recognition Once Again Reinforces HiveMQ’s IoT Industry Leadership

What’s different in Fall 2025, compared to last quarter, is that HiveMQ qualified for 31 (up 7) G2 reports, earned 16 (up 8) badges, and improved its rank in 18 reports.

The Significance of G2 Badges

G2 is the trusted go-to software review marketplace used by more than 100 million people annually to make software decisions based on authentic peer reviews. To earn a G2 badge, a product must meet specific thresholds for customer satisfaction and market presence. G2 badges serve as software marketplace trust signals that recognize the achievements of top-performing vendors and highlight their leadership.

G2 releases Grid® and Index Reports on a quarterly basis. For a badge to be earned from a G2 Grid Report, products must secure placement in either the Leader or High Performer quadrants. These prestigious G2 badges represent significant third-party validation of HiveMQ Platform 's excellence across regions and categories. Let’s look at what these badges mean and the feedback our customers shared to help us receive them.

Leader (IoT Connectivity Management, Message Queue, IoT Management)

Products in the Leader quadrant in the Grid® Report are rated highly by G2 users and have substantial Satisfaction and Market Presence scores. Leader badges indicate top-performing products in their category. HiveMQ earned this designation across the three categories indicated above.

"The dread of IoT scaling bottlenecks vanished completely…HiveMQ really excels at the intermittent device connections. We regularly deploy remote sensors in locations with poor cellular connectivity and we very seldom lose telemetry as a result of its smart buffering.” - G2 Reviewer, Control system security architect.

High Performer for Enterprise (IoT Management) and Mid-Market (Message Queue)

HiveMQ earned a High Performer badge in two segments: Enterprise (IoT Management category) and Mid-Market (Message Queue category). Products in the High Performer quadrant have high Customer Satisfaction scores and low Market Presence scores compared to the rest of the respective category.

“I appreciate how cleanly HiveMQ handles a large volume of MQTT traffic without lagging. HiveMQ can scale accordingly to deal with millions of IoT devices and its data in an effective manner.” - G2 Reviewer, Cloud Architect.

High Performer for Americas (Message Queue)

HiveMQ also received recognition as a High Performer for various regions, among them for the Americas in the Message Queue category. This validates our platform's performance across the Americas region and highlights our commitment to serving the regions’ customers through reliable, enterprise-grade message queuing capabilities.

“HiveMQ stood out mostly for my team because of how cleanly it handled high-throughput MQTT messaging without choking...Its web UI makes it pretty easy to monitor what's going on.” - G2 Reviewer, Senior solutions architect.

Regional Leader for Europe (IoT Management)

Products in the Leader quadrant in the Europe Regional Grid® Report are rated highly by G2 users and have substantial Satisfaction and Market Presence scores. This designation, in the IoT Management category, demonstrates our strong customer satisfaction and market presence specifically within the European market.

"Connecting thousands of IoT devices finally feels completely manageable thanks to HiveMQ…What I like best about HiveMQ is its incredible reliability and ability to scale effortlessly. The clustering capabilities are top-notch, allowing you to handle millions of concurrent connections and a massive volume of messages without breaking a sweat, which is essential for large IoT deployments.” - G2 Reviewer, Data Engineer.

Users Love Us badge

The Users Love Us badge is a direct indicator of customer satisfaction and positive user experience, from installation to deployment and beyond. It focuses purely on customer satisfaction rather than market presence metrics. This badge is earned after collecting 20 G2 reviews with an average rating of 4.0 stars. Here are some of those reviews.
