Support was quick and direct to the point to resolve issues. Documentation is detailed. Configuration is easy to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot really think of any, other than pricing was very competitive until 2024, when there was a drastic increase, thus forcing us to decrease our licences compared to what we used to have, and then incrementally increasing licenses to fill our max needs versus having extras always available.

Easilly allowing users to remote into the corporate network to access items not available otherwise.

Secure and Reliable VPN Solution with Robust Features
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how OpenVPN Access Server offers a secure and customizable environment for VPN management. It’s user-friendly and makes it easy to handle remote connections. Plus, it’s versatile—there are plenty of configuration options, and it works well across different platforms, which is great for adapting to various organizational needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it’s a powerful tool, some of the more advanced configuration options can be pretty complex and might overwhelm users who aren’t as experienced. The cost can also add up, especially if you need a lot of concurrent connections for a large deployment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN Access Server is helping us secure our internal resources by providing encrypted remote access, especially for our remote workforce. It ensures that our sensitive data is protected while allowing seamless access to our internal network. This has significantly reduced the risk of data breaches and improved our overall security posture

Nothing comes to mind, except I had to roll my own SSL cert renewal solution, but that wasn't too hard, and is well documented.

Other products run tens of thousands per year. OpenVPN AS costs a few bucks a month, based on max users actively using it that month.
