This year, OpenVPN celebrates ten years since our first sale of OpenVPN Access Server. A decade in tech is a long time. Many software platforms and companies don’t survive that long — let alone thrive for that long. Being named G2’s 2019 Spring Leader for best VPN software based on user VPN reviews created a lot of excitement for our team.
We strive to be the best and stand out in a crowded VPN marketplace. Earning that top spot from verified users gave us validation that our continued diligence to provide secure connections to the free world makes a difference.
Validated users of OpenVPN gave us this recognition by scoring their satisfaction. Here’s information about G2 and how their scoring works.
G2 aggregates user reviews for business software and services. Think of it like Yelp for tech such as ERP, CRM, E-commerce, VPN solutions. G2 created a unique algorithm for its scoring methodologies. It calculates customer satisfaction and market presence by including the following:
G2 validates each user posting a review through their LinkedIn accounts and requests screenshots of the product. In addition to this, they also filter out a user reviewing a product or service from the company they work for, and a user reviewing a product of a direct competitor. G2’s process censors out fake reviews and fosters honest ratings.
G2’s ability to leverage the experiences and reviews of real customers can help you find the business software that fits your needs. You could use it to objectively assess your vendor choices.
For example, if you’ve solicited Request for Proposals (RFPs) to find business software, you know how time-consuming it can be to come up with the best vendors to choose from and then go through their responses. Having access to the validated reviews on G2 could help you with software purchase decisions.
G2 provides a lot of value for individuals and organizations looking for business software and services, and gives us another avenue for receiving customer feedback. These VPN reviews give us insight into what we’re doing well and where we can improve. Below are the most-loved and the most-requested features, based off of the most recent customer reviews. All of this helps us continue to build VPN products used every day, with over 50 million downloads since inception.
Receiving honest evaluations, especially about requested features, gives the OpenVPN team important feedback. Our focus has always been on helping our community secure their privacy. Our goal is to provide a VPN that meets and exceeds user expectations.
