Solid, reliable platform with good self service setup for users.
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is great for mobile devices in particular. It's easy to build, configure and manage for a standalone or cluster build. It scales well for user concurrency without requiring heavily resourced servers.
The prebuild AWS instances are very convenient, and the support documenation is excellent.

What do you dislike about the product?
Integration options for enterprise features like posture assessment are weak compared to solutions integrated to enterprise firewalls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloud based automation, QA and remote vendor teams accessing internet facing dev, test and preprod environments. The platform is lightweight enough for qa teams to support remote users accessing limited environments, in particular while performing mobile device testing.
Affordable, Reliable, Secure Access

OpenVPN of course is founded on OpenSource. Which means the VPN is mutli-platform and easily compatible and maintainable among many endpoints. SAML integration is great, and provides our required secured access. Its a simple streamlined VPN product.

We have honestly never had any issues aside from the occasional security flaw we need to patch, but that is not unique to OpenVPN.

Secure Access to controlled environments, across unique network segments.

A great tool

It's easy to impliment and set up. Being able to connect users to secure network remotly, quickly and easily is a time-saver and efficiant.
What do you dislike about the product?
If a user has a differnet device used for authentication, the user and profle has to be wiped and re-created. It would be nice to re-authenticate without having to delete users and profiles and then re-adding them again
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to add multiple users to a location(s) easly and quickly
A reliable and robust VPN
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to manage, to implement and to integrate with the systems. We use it daily for our development needs. The customer support is fast and reliable.

No big issues, actually, we use it daily for our team and all we need is present and working smoothly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Limiting access to data and source code
Optimal system for remote user connection
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of learning for employees who have to use the system. The possibility of applying a two-factor authentication when connecting for security reasons. The ease of implementation is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The server update is difficult and the fact of not being able to mask the Server's Public IP with a CDN service
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I have already mentioned, the fact that we cannot mask the Public IP behind a CDN service harms us in terms of security.
Simple solution to implement and effective
What do you like best about the product?
The free version allows you to test the solution and can meet a simple need. If you need to access a system that controls access via IP, it is a very good solution. The implementation is well documented on their site. Updates are frequent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing system has become somewhat more complex over time, and it's a bit of a shame.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to access filtering systems by IP.
Makes VPN and Network Management a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
The user-based permissions allow you to limit specific teams to specific network subnets. And split tunneling improves performance by routing only specific traffic through the VPN. This reduces your network throughput for the VPN server. The two factor authentication integration and the individual web portal simplifies user management by allowing easy access to configurations and credentials.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing costs can add up quickly for larger teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN AS allows us to access our virtual private cloud in a more feature rich and robust way.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is pricey. We pay abut 9 dollars a user and that's a little high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing us to have a remote workforce.
