Genians ZTNA vs OpenVPN CloudConnexa

Genians ZTNA combines network access control with zero-trust access for campus, remote, cloud, and hybrid environments. A central console provides visibility across office, remote-work, and cloud settings. The system checks security status in real time, applies user and context permissions, and monitors activity from connection through traffic. Deployment can be on premises or cloud managed, including cloud-managed gateways. Its REST API handles endpoint information, policy and object creation, and configuration changes using API keys or service accounts. Device Platform Intelligence identifies manufacturers, products, and models and can show CVE and end-of-life information. Enterprise Edition integrates with listed security, firewall, orchestration, and asset systems. The free edition covers up to 300 devices, and a 30-day trial requires no credit card. Supported access methods include SSL-VPN, IPsec, and GRE, with posture checks and SIEM log export.

OpenVPN CloudConnexa is a cloud-managed networking service for connecting users, devices and sites through an overlay network. It supports OpenVPN and IPsec, site-to-site networking and split tunneling. Administrators manage access through a unified console with granular policies, audit logs and device posture controls. Security features include web filtering, intrusion detection and prevention, and threat defense. Identity options include LDAP, SAML and SCIM, with availability varying by plan; a public API and Terraform are listed for automation. CloudConnexa is fully cloud-based and managed by OpenVPN. Its overlay network has no default internet connection, so an Internet Gateway is required for internet access. Starter includes up to five seats, and each active user or connector uses one seat. Essential is $7 a month per seat and Premium is $9.50 a month per seat. Essential and Premium have a 14-day trial; charging begins only if a payment method was entered.
