There wasn't really anything that we would change about it.

Très bon produit !

  • March 01, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- l'applicance est très fiable : jamais eu un seul bug (sauf quand je me trompe de paramétrage)
- facilité de mise en place
- peut-être mise à jour facilement
- support client réactif
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficulté à jour l'OS à jour en dessous en revanche :
j'ai dû plusieurs fois restaurer la VM à cause de bugs, et du coup j'ai préféré remettre une appliance de zéro
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Permettre à mes clients de se connecter de façon sécurisée à leur postes de travail

Je dirais que comme évolution, il faudrait une solution pour pouvoir limiter les accès client à certaines IP... mais c'est peut-être là une limite structurelle au VPN ?!

Extremely fast and easy to get setup. We use OpenVPN across our infra running in multiple locations. It's nothing but solid, we've never had a problem.

Definitely having to install a new version each time an update happens. It does also jump from free to pretty expensive quickly for smaller companies.

  • February 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

We've been using OpenVPN Access Server with 2FA for about 3 years now and it's been working flawlessly.

Easy to setup, easy to maintain and end-user friendly. What else to ask for?
What do you dislike about the product?
As a startup, we are more sensitive to price. A startup discount would be appreciated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote secure connection to our internal services.
Mandatory 2 factor authentication for remote access.
Synchronization with on-prem Active Directory.
