Award category: Business VPN
CloudConnexa was recognized as overall Grid Leader for Business VPN, as well as high performer in EMEA for the small business solutions category. Additionally, CloudConnexa was named a Business VPN Grid Leader in the small business and mid-market categories, which indicates our dedication to providing a solution that is not only accessible to SMBs, but tailor-made for them.

“OpenVPN has shown to be very reliable for our current needs. Their support team's responsiveness and expertise stands out the most. The few times that we have encountered an issue, their support has been quick and accurate. I am very big on not just how an app functions when all is well, but how is the support when reaching out to their helpdesk.” - Demond J., G2 Review
Award category winner: Software Defined Perimeter (SDP)
CloudConnexa was named a Grid Leader overall and Grid Leader for the mid-market segment. What does this mean for you? It means businesses see the value in CloudConnexa for an SDP network security strategy, beyond simply using a VPN for generic network security needs.

Summer 2025 has brought yet another season of accolades for Access Server in the Business VPN category. Access Server has been consistently recognized for its versatility, but this summer we are proud to be recognized for how easy it is to implement and the results our customers are seeing.

If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-manage business VPN backed by a strong community, this solution deserves a high place on your consideration list.” - Richard V., G2 Review
Award category winner: Best Usability, Most Implementable, Best Relationship, Best Results, High Performer, and “Users Love Us”
Perhaps the most valued recognition comes from those that reinforce to our team that we are helping customers get real results without added friction. We are proud to share that we received awards in the following categories for mid-market businesses:
- Best Relationship
- Most Implementable
- Best Usability
- Best Results
Access Server was also recognized in the Users Love Us category, as well as High Performer for Europe in the small business segment.
“For my team and I, OpenVPN Access Server has been part of our infrastructure for the last 10 years. When we first had a need for a reliable, day to day VPN, we researched and spoke with others in our field looking for recommendations. Unanimously most of the people we spoke with recommended OpenVPN. We were tasked with setting it up for a team of about 15 people and found it easy to roll it out even to those in other physical locations with simple to follow instructions. We integrated it for our entire team in less than 24 hours. We consulted with their customer support on a few questions during the initial setup and they were extremely helpful in ensuring a smooth transition from our old VPN server. Our team uses OpenVPN daily with some of us staying connected 24x7. We found that the feature set was more than enough for us as we only use the typical features that most would. With that said we have the flexibility to use more advanced features if we should need them in the future. When it comes time to renew our licensing, it's as simple as copy and pasting the new licenses code. There's no need for a restart or anything that would compromise our connectivity. We have been extremely happy in the 10 years that we have been using OpenVPN Access Server.” - Michael W., G2 Review
