“The Spring G2 awards reflect the continued trust organizations place in INE to develop advanced technical skills and strengthen cybersecurity and IT teams,” said Lindsey Rinehart, CEO of INE. “Our movement into the top 10 for technical skills development among small businesses and sustained leadership in online course delivery demonstrate the real-world impact of our platform for both individuals and enterprise teams.”

- Leader, Small-Business Grid Report for Technical Skills Development
Market Position Analysis
G2 rankings are based on verified user reviews and performance indicators across customer satisfaction and market presence. As one of the most trusted software review platforms globally, G2’s recognition highlights the consistent value and reliability of INE’s training platform.
This Spring’s results reinforce INE’s strength across three key dimensions:
- Market Leadership: Maintaining Leader status in the Online Course Providers Grid Report reflects INE’s continued reputation for delivering high-quality, hands-on training experiences.
- Growth and Momentum: Momentum Leader recognition demonstrates strong product development and customer adoption within the online training market.
- Expanding Reach Among Small Businesses: Rising 17 positions in the Small-Business Grid Report for Technical Skills Development highlights increasing adoption among growing organizations seeking scalable, practical IT and cybersecurity training.
Strengthening Support for Small and Growing Teams
INE’s rise into the top 10 in G2’s Small-Business Grid Report for Technical Skills Development reflects a growing focus on supporting small and mid-sized organizations with accessible, enterprise-grade training.
Earlier this year, INE expanded its offerings with the launch of a Professional Plan for Small Business, designed to provide SMB IT and cybersecurity teams with unlimited access to training at a predictable annual cost. The program includes access to INE’s full training catalog, more than 4,500 hands-on labs, and a certification voucher per license to help validate skills and support internal readiness goals.
Small businesses increasingly face the same cybersecurity risks and operational demands as larger enterprises but often operate with lean teams and limited time for structured skill development. By providing scalable training that is easy to deploy and maintain, INE helps SMB teams strengthen core capabilities across networking, systems administration, and cybersecurity.
“Our goal is to make world-class technical training accessible to organizations of every size,” said Rinehart. “As more small businesses rely on INE to develop critical skills and build resilient teams, it’s rewarding to see that reflected in our continued growth within G2’s small-business rankings.”
Training Depth and Real-World Application
Recent G2 reviews emphasize INE’s ability to deliver practical training aligned with real operational environments. One verified reviewer noted that “This platform helps learners understand theoretical concepts with ease, and it provides a safe environment to practice. The user experience is also excellent, with a responsive support team.” Another Cybersecurity professional shared that INE is a “Must-have for cybersecurity professionals”.
