All in all a really good VPN service.
What do you like best about the product?
Simple management. VYOS implementation is GREAT. Running it as VM works perfectly.
Been using it for both private pvn, enterprise vpn and connecting to vpn trough other countries for several years and I love how easy it is. Mobile support is also really great.
There are also a huge benefit that it's open source and community good support is also nice to have.

What do you dislike about the product?
Windows client is sketchy. Doesn't reconnect as it should. Drops out from time to time. It those things can be fixed, the product would be absolutely perfect. But it's not a big issue.
Reconnecting after sleep mode would be nice. Reconnecting after drop out would be REALLY nice.
There are still some effort that can be made on the different clients.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Per now using it instead of MS Direct access. Easy for outside clients to connect if you want that, since you have a downloadable client.
It allows me to fix problems for my users and controll my infrastructure when I'm out traveling, and that is the thing I appreciate most.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are not much else I would reccomend. I've tried several others, like checkpoint mobile and Cisco and it's not better than openvpn. OpenVPN is faster, easier and has more features.

A solid, secure VPN solution
What do you like best about the product?
- The OpenVPN Access Server AMI is a great out of the box VPN solution for your AWS VPC.
- We were able to easily connect to our Active Directory in AWS to the OpenVPN Access Server and enable 2-factor requirements via Google Authenticator.
- Supports PAM, RADIUS, and LDAP.
- This solution replaced our clients deprecated PPTP solution. OpenVPN is consistently rated among the most secure VPN solutions which is why we went with it.

What do you dislike about the product?
License management on the openvpn.net could be improved in one regard: allowing users to deactivate and move a license between servers. As you spin up an instance you may need to reconfigure our move your license to a newer server and that requires involving OpenVPN Support to reissue your license. This can take a few hours before they respond but typically they are pretty fast so not a huge negative for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple way to connect to our AWS VPC with 2-factor authentication tied to our Active Directory.

OPENVPN works pretty good
What do you like best about the product?
It's rather stable, assuming you always remember to use IE to manage your server.

Meets most peoples needs
What do you like best about the product?
The features are mostly all there and quick to setup and maintain. I like controls I can use within the system and the flexibility. The price is the main selling point.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Setup for this is going to be hard for main sys admins out there. The level of networking knowledge required to get it working correctly might be hard for many.
The two factor authentication implementation is poor. This should be much more configurable, and self servicing for users.
LDAP/Active Directory authentication could be better. I would like to see a profile for each user that signs on so 2FA can get reset or custom settings can be applied. follow the Sonicwall SRA/SMA model here would be preferred for more power and flexibility.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just VPN connectivity for internal users. I will occasionally configure a VPN for a consultant/customer that only allows them access to certain systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should have basic linux and networking knowledge before working with this in production. Play with it all you want otherwise.
Unique product that add value to our customer proposal!
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, scalability, redundancy capability and LDAP integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Windows client is sometime buggy, better than before but still need some improvement for first time users (inexperienced users may require assistance from helpdesk initially).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this for all our managed services solutions, allowing our customers to access their infrastructure securely, with any device and using their central authentication system (AD).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just make the switch, you'll be convinced soon enough!
