easy to deploy and manage
What do you like best about the product?
one of the few good working MFA vpn on-premise solutions
What do you dislike about the product?
you cannot buy 3 or 7 licenses and need to go for 10 users bundle, which is discouraging small customers. if you have need for 5 it is extremely unfair to pay foor 10 just because there is n other way

OpenVPN does the job
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity, stability, and ease of implementation have been big for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a low-feature VPN. There is not a lot of the bells and whistles you see with other enterprise VPNs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN is providing a low-management IT VPN solution for us on top of our standard user VPN.
Simple and solid!
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using OpenVPN connect for nearly 2 years to allow our DevOps team conneciton into AWS resource.
It was quick to push out to our user base with InTune and easy to setup SAML to use Entra 365 MFA authentication. Solid and simple UI with easy to access connection logs.
Having contacted support twice I was connected with the right folk immediately, no messing around with first line - straight to the devs!

What do you dislike about the product?
Cons:
- in a cluster configuration it's impossible to customize all member servers from a single interface - admin UI switches you to a certain server and then you need to switch back to the cluster configuration; can't see all connected users (have to switch between cluster members)
- you can't restrict vpn connections to certain IPs/subnets for a user or group
- can't tweak vpn connections to fight against DPIs
- support team is responsive but helpless - all our feature requests were ignored by their developers
- no publicly available development roadmap
- inability to track vpn user activities as compliance requires

Действительно легко реализовать
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN Access Server was easily deployed in a cloud environment. User configuration, integration with the authentication system, and the ease that customers have in using the connection client are great benefits of this solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
При масштабировании использования решения его стоимость/выгода начинает вызывать споры по сравнению с другими более сложными решениями.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Позволяет быстрое внедрение
Stable VPN solution
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate the most about OpenVPN Access Server is its remarkable stability. We implemented a self-hosted server in our company over four years ago, and we have encountered no issues thus far. It operates swiftly and reliably.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like least in my experience with OpenVPN server is the web interface for creating access groups. While the interface allows you to create multiple groups with different routes to various networks, it does not allow you to name those routes. Consequently, over time, administration becomes quite challenging, as one cannot remember which network range corresponds to each.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company, we use AWS as our cloud provider, and within AWS, we have multiple private networks with numerous servers and applications. Thanks to the use of OpenVPN, our employees can access these resources privately and securely.
