Great Enterprise VPN Server
What do you like best about the product?
OpenVPN Access Server stands out for its balance of strong security, ease of use, and scalability. It provides a reliable VPN solution with a user-friendly web interface, making deployment and management straightforward even for those with limited networking experience. Its support for multiple authentication methods, seamless integration with existing infrastructure, and ability to handle remote access and site-to-site connections efficiently make it a versatile choice. Plus, its robust encryption ensures data protection while maintaining stable performance across various devices and operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
While OpenVPN Access Server is a powerful and flexible VPN solution, its licensing model can be a drawback for some users, as it limits the number of concurrent connections unless additional licenses are purchased. Additionally, while the web-based management interface is convenient, it may feel somewhat basic for advanced users who prefer more granular control. Initial setup and configuration can also be slightly complex for those unfamiliar with networking concepts, especially when dealing with firewall rules and routing. Despite these minor drawbacks, it remains a solid and reliable choice for secure remote access.
