The Heat is On: OpenVPN Wins Multiple G2 Awards
Summer may be a great time to cool down by the water, but OpenVPN is turning up the heat against our competition and has been awarded yet again by G2! Previously recognized by G2 during the Winter 2024 and Spring 2024 seasons in the Business VPN category, OpenVPN is enjoying recognition in a variety of categories from the software review giant.
Over 90 million people turn to G2 every year to make software decisions, which means an award from G2 represents an award from actual software users. Customers have left hundreds of reviews and ratings for Access Server and CloudConnexa, which showcase why nearly 20,000 business customers gave OpenVPN a 93.5% + overall customer satisfaction rating.
Overview of the Summer 2024 G2 Awards
If CloudConnexa’s average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars, and Access Server’s 4.5 out of 5 stars rankings weren’t enough, we’re thrilled to share the following additional areas of recognition from G2:
Award category winner: Leader

OpenVPN’s products, both cloud-delivered CloudConnexa® and self-hosted Access Server, were awarded “Leader” status with G2 for a third season in a row, with CloudConnexa also winning the Leader status for the EMEA region. To be awarded a leader, products must be rated highly by G2 users and have substantial Satisfaction and Market Presence scores.
“I'm a fan of the device-specific profiles … so each device configuration profile can only be used by one device. I'm also glad that they charge not per user but by concurrent connection. We have a lot of once in a blue moon users, and paying for each of them every month is a dealbreaker.”

“Simplicity! After having downloaded the appliance you could be ready to deploy your accesses in a couple of hours. Very simple and very well documented. The customer support is also very effective.”

Both of OpenVPN’s products, CloudConnexa® and Access Server, were awarded “High Performer” in both the mid-market and small business categories. Additionally, Access Server was awarded “High Performer” for the Asia Pacific region. This means small and mid-size businesses are seeing the value in OpenVPN’s platform and reporting high customer satisfaction.
“We use OpenVPN to connect to our servers and applications which are hosted on the AWS cloud. It provides us with a broad umbrella where we put all of our cloud instances and also other automation securely. The one thing I like about using and managing OpenVPN is the simple UI and easy-to-follow steps.”
Advait P., G2 Review
Award category winner: Users Love Us
They love us, they really love us! Our biggest goal and motivator is to make our customers’ lives easier and secure business networks against bad actors. This award shows that we are on the right track. The Users Love Us badge is awarded after collecting 20 reviews with an average rating of 4.0 stars – which means customer satisfaction isn’t a fluke, but something we are continually striving toward, and continually improving upon.
“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., G2 Review
Award category winner: Momentum Leader
We’re proud to share that CloudConnexa was named a Momentum Leader. Products in the Leader tier in the Momentum Grid® rank in the top 25% of their category's products by their users. In other words, vendors who have achieved the most positive movement over the last year.
“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
Award category winner: Best Relationship
CloudConnexa was awarded Best Relationship, which is composed of four main factors: Ease of Business, Likely to Recommend, Quality of Support, Other Factors. The relationship with our customers is the guiding light for our team — from the product development team to customer support and everyone in between.
“I like the control I have over the environment, user access, and connectors. The administration of the platform is simple and configuring it to fit your specific use-case is easy.”
