OpenVPN
OpenVPN is great for anyone who needs to access internal company resources while away from the office. For us, it's useful for our office staff if they need to work from home for a day or are at a work conference. I can see where it would not be helpful if you didn't store much on your intranet, but we do, so it's very helpful.

I think the best scenario is a business trip where you are forced to connect to open networks without any protection from the administrator, such as in some airports, hotels, cafes, public squares... Thanks to TunnelBear, you can surf the net more safely. To be honest, I wouldn't use it if I had to deal with sensitive personal information or similar scenarios, as VPNs are often not fully transparent with data usage.

Usability
OpenVPN
We've never had any issues with usability. The UI is very intuitive, and our general user base (which is not very tech-savvy) can use OpenVPN with two clicks since we have SAML set up. It's the easiest thing ever for them, and I don't know how we'd even begin to improve on it.
