OpenVPN CloudConnexa vs Sangfor EasyConnect

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.

Organizations can use it to connect employees, branches, partners, and customers to internal resources such as OA, ERP, CRM, and project management systems, with access governed by assigned permissions.

Supported platforms include Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and web browsers; the product also lists virtual portals and application single sign-on. Sangfor describes protections that include encryption, multiple authentication methods, identity and data safeguards, permission controls, and auditing. Its SSL VPN gateway can establish a tunnel through a browser. Organizations can deploy EasyConnect in a hybrid model, and Sangfor lists 24/7 online support alongside documentation, tickets, community resources, and security advisories. Pricing is on request.
