Solid choice for VPN server

  • February 20, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and set up for required VPN connections to private subnets. MFA and user permissions were easy to set up and use. VPN profiles and the VPN client were easy to set up and use.

User management outside of SSO is cumbersome. Making changes also sometimes didn't stick and had to refresh the page and reapply the changes a multiple times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure private access to private subnet for remote workers to not expose production or devops servers to public.

Solid, reliable platform with good self service setup for users.

  • February 14, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

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.

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the 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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure Access to controlled environments, across unique network segments.

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.

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
