OpenVPN Freezes Out the Competition with Winter 2025 G2 Awards

Feel that chill? OpenVPN has iced out the competition with continued recognition from G2.

OpenVPN has been consistently recognized by G2 in 2024 in the Business VPN category, and continues to enjoy recognition from the tech review giant to kick off 2025.  

Not sure what G2 is all about? Over 90 million people turn to G2 when they need to make software decisions, which means recognition comes directly from real-world users. Each award from G2 is based on hundreds of reviews and ratings for Access Server and CloudConnexa

Overview of the Winter 2025 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 fifth season in a row.

Additionally, CloudConnexa was awarded the Leader badge for the EMEA region. Access Server was also awarded the Leader badge for the Asia Pacific regions, and high performer for the EMEA region. 

“We've actually dropped most of our GCP networking connections in favor of OpenVPN because of cost, ease of implementation, and stability.” - Kevin K., President, Small Business

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

2025-winter-small-businessAccess Server was awarded the Leader award for enterprise, mid-market, and small business categories, with CloudConnexa taking the category for mid-market and small business. These three categories of recognition highlight OpenVPN’s scalability and flexibility for businesses of all sizes. 

“I have been using OpenVPN for approximately 1 year; installation is very easy and use is also user-friendly. Regarding security, this product is very capable and reliable when working far from the head office and the monthly cost is also cheap in my opinion.” - Zulhusni S., Sysadmin, Small Business

Award category winner: Momentum Leader, Business VPN & SDP

2025-winter-momentum-leaderG2 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 [are] 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

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