OpenVPN was proudly recognized by G2 during the Winter 2024, Spring 2024, and Summer 2024 seasons in the Business VPN category and continues to enjoy recognition from the tech review giant.  

If you’re unfamiliar with G2, it is the site that over 90 million people turn to when they need to make software decisions. An award from G2 represents recognition from actual users of our software and is based on hundreds of reviews and ratings for Access Server and CloudConnexa

Overview of the Fall 2024 G2 Awards

We’re thrilled to share the following additional areas of recognition from G2: 

Award category winner: Leader, Business VPN

According to G2, “Products in the Leader quadrants for geo reports are rated highly by G2 users and have substantial Satisfaction and Market Presence scores.” 

In other words, you don’t get the Leader badge without happy customers. 

Both of OpenVPN’s products, CloudConnexa® and Access Server, were awarded Leader status with G2 for the fourth season in a row.

Additionally, both products were awarded the Leader badge for the EMEA region. Access Server was also awarded the Leader badge for the Asia Pacific and India regions. 

“With the latest recent releases, the amount of modern integration with authentication services has been a treat. We specifically use Okta and the integration was quick and easy. Being a FOSS project and running on Linux means amazing stability and performance. With the ability to have a horizontally-scaled infrastructure and a central SQL DB makes this a great product for even larger organizations.” - Conrad B, Sr. Systems Administrator, Enterprise 

Award category winner: Leader, Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Small Business

Both of OpenVPN’s products, CloudConnexa and Access Server, were awarded the Leader award for enterprise, mid-market, and small business categories. These three categories of recognition highlight OpenVPN’s scalability and flexibility for businesses of all sizes, giving full flexibility no matter your use case. 

“The implementation team at CloudConnexa was a cut above. They were able to precisely guide me in the configuration of IPSEC VPN tunnels using Unifi gateways. The system has continued working very well, providing reliable inter-cloud connectivity using SD-WAN. We use this daily in Production right now and feel comfortable depending on the customer support team for help. The system was very easy to integrate into our existing infrastructure. The dashboard is very easy to use and intuitive, with an ever growing number of features.” - GreyPool, Systems Admin, Small Business

“What I love most is how easy it is to use! When I’m at home and need to access my company’s internal network, it takes just a few seconds to connect. Unlike other software products we use, the licenses aren’t tied to the number of employees, but rather to the number of concurrent users. Since our employees typically work from home just one or two days a week, this approach makes much better use of our licenses.” - Ilan A., Director, Small Business 

Award category winner: Momentum Leader, Business VPN & SDP

G2 reports that “products in the Leader tier in the Momentum Grid® rank in the top 25% of their category's products by their users.” 

We’re proud that both of our products, CloudConnexa and Access Server, were recognized in this category. 

Additionally, CloudConnexa was recognized as a Momentum Leader in the Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) category. 

“It is the best tool I use. I love how easy [CloudConnexa] is to configure and the integration with different environments and public clouds.” - Camilo M., Sysadmin, Mid-Market

Award category winner: Leader, Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) and Zero Trust Networking 

We know, we know, we already bragged about being awarded in the Leader category. Can you blame us? 

In addition to the Leader awards we mentioned earlier, CloudConnexa was awarded Leader status in both the SDP and Zero Trust Networking categories. This showcases the flexibility in use cases for CloudConnexa, as well as our commitment to innovation for these use cases. 

Additionally, CloudConnexa was awarded Leader, Mid-Market, for SDP solutions. 

“There are different ways to implement CloudConnexa. Some more complex than others. However, their customer support was really helpful in making sure the process went through to the end. Also, their implementation of SAML is better than just about any other service that uses Single Sign On, avoiding duplication of effort when creating accounts. Client installation is also very easy.” - Dovid C., CTO, Mid-Market

Award category winner: Best Relationship, Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) 

We love our customers, and our customers love us! That’s why we’re pleased to share that CloudConnexa was awarded in the Best Relationship category. That means CloudConnexa earned the highest Relationship rating in its category — impressive! 

This category measures how happy our customers are doing business with us, beyond just satisfaction with our product. Customers love our level of customer support and are likely to recommend us to a friend or colleague. That is the highest praise! 

“Very simple to sign up and get a VPN operational. 15-20 minutes from the time you register to have it up, running, and users connected. We have about 10-users that use it daily and rarely experience issues.” - Cary W., G2 Review

G2 reviewers love us — see why you will, too!
