Accounting automation software leader ranked first in mid-market and enterprise segments by leading software peer review site

LOS ANGELES – Feb. 15, 2022 – Leading online software marketplace and peer review platform G2 recently announced that BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL) took the No. 1 spot for financial close software on G2’s list of the ‘Best Accounting & Finance Products of 2022’.  Recognized for ‘Market Presence’ and ‘Satisfaction’, BlackLine ranked first in both the mid-market and enterprise segments.

G2 operates a software marketplace used by more than 60 million software buyers each year.  The annual G2 Best Software List ranks the “world’s best software companies and products” based on authentic, timely reviews from real users.  As of Feb. 8th, BlackLine customers had posted 630 reviews at G2.com.  Here’s what users across multiple industries and from various company sizes are saying about BlackLine:

G2’s online marketplace boasts 100,000+ software and services companies in 2,000+ categories and over 1.5 million trusted user reviews.  

“Simply put, G2 is where you go for software,” said Godard Abel, co-founder and CEO, G2.  “Our annual Best Software List aims to guide buyers on their purchasing decisions, knowing they can trust in the credibility and objectivity of our scoring algorithms.  We applaud those companies named to our  2022 list, as they’ve earned the satisfaction among their customers as well as an impressive market presence.” 

Software sellers are ranked based on a combination of Satisfaction and Market Presence scores.  To be included in one of G2’s Software Sellers or Software Products “Best Of” lists, a software seller or product must have received at least 50 approved and published reviews during the 2021 calendar year.  Scores reflect only data from reviews submitted during this evaluation period.  To learn more, view G2’s scoring methodology.
