Azion helps teams build, secure, and run applications without adding complexity. This quarter, that work earned more recognition than any quarter before it — straight from the people who use the platform every day: our users.
In the G2 Fall 2026 Reports, Azion earned Leader status in four categories — Content Delivery Network (CDN), Web Security, DDoS Protection, and Bot Detection and Mitigation (Enterprise Grid) — plus High Performer recognition across five more: Cloud Security, Load Balancing, Web Application Firewall (WAF), SSL & TLS Certificate Tools, and API Security Tools.
Nine categories total. Same footprint as Summer 2026, but more Leader placements than any quarter to date.
Leadership in Global Performance: Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Azion was named a Leader in CDN for the fourth consecutive quarter — on both the standard and Enterprise Grid® reports. Customer feedback behind that placement:
- 4.7 out of 5 average rating across 32 reviews
- 100% of users rate Azion 4 or 5 stars
- 100% believe Azion is headed in the right direction
- 97% likely to recommend Azion (NPS 86)
On the Enterprise Grid, satisfaction runs even higher: 100% likely to recommend, 100% ease of doing business with, and 100% quality of support.
“The speed of the solution, provided by the wide distribution of points of presence, along with the low latency perceived by my customers, makes all the difference.” — Julian A., IT OPS, SRE & SEC Manager LatAm, Dafiti Group
New This Quarter: Leader in Web Security
For the first time, Azion moved from High Performer to Leader in Web Security. It’s the clearest signal yet that combining performance and security controls close to users — instead of bolting security on as a separate layer — is working in production.
“It offers an easy to use console which can be used to configure edge security and additional security layers via DNS to deploy your web application, guaranteeing high availability and protection against attacks, which are especially necessary in an e-commerce scenario.” — Verified User in E-Learning
DDoS Protection: Back in the Leader Quadrant
Azion returned to Leader status in DDoS Protection, reflecting the platform’s ability to filter volumetric attacks and keep applications available under pressure — without adding a separate vendor to the stack.
Bot Detection and Mitigation: Leader on the Enterprise Grid
Azion earned Leader status on the Enterprise Grid for Bot Detection and Mitigation, with High Performer recognition on the standard Grid. This reflects consistent results distinguishing real users from automated abuse — reducing account takeover attempts, scraping, and API misuse.
“Azion has transitioned from being just a provider to acting as a strategic partner for Smart Online. What I value most in this relationship is the consistency in deliveries and the transparency from the beginning. The gains in security and stability were quickly noticed, bringing more confidence to support the company’s growth.” — Luciano K., Head of CyberSecurity, Smart Online
High Performer Across the Rest of the Stack
Security and delivery don’t stop at one category. This quarter, Azion also earned High Performer recognition in:
- Cloud Security — strengthening security postures across cloud-connected applications and distributed architectures.
- Load Balancing — distributing traffic intelligently and maintaining performance under load across multiple origins.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF) — blocking application-layer threats like SQL injection and XSS, on both Product and Enterprise Grids.
- SSL & TLS Certificate Tools — managing certificates and encryption workflows that keep client-server communication private.
- API Security Tools — reducing exposure and mitigating abuse on interfaces that are now central to most digital products.
“The platform provides a robust layer of protection for our portals, ensuring more security in our publications… The overall robustness of the platform in terms of security and performance is one of the main factors that would make me acquire Azion again.” — Altevir P., Cyber Security, Privacy and Risk Management Executive | CISO | CRO
