How are customer service and support?
I would only contact the technical support team if my account is being deleted.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase was a little bit complex because there was a need to work on the configuration part.
For the deployment process, you need access to an executable file, which can be a .ASA file, along with a configuration file to edit. When you open the application, you have to put in the config file in the software and then run it to make it work.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in a few hours. If you have some assistance from the IT service or IT team, the deployment can be done within a few hours.
What about the implementation team?
I take care of the deployment process with the help of the product's documents.
What other advice do I have?
I use the product on my PC in the company for remote access.
I am not sure whether the product has enhanced data security in my company, but I use OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey, whenever I need access to the PCs in my company to work remotely.
Speaking about how the encryption technology in the product meets our company's privacy requirements, I would say that I think it depends on the policy of the organization, about which I don't really know much.
I would tell those who plan to use the product that it is one of the popular software solutions.
The product is very good in terms of reliability and the performance offered to its users.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Works in 2022
This is not as easy as the official OpenVPN AMI but it is much easier than rolling an image your self.
The instructions at Github leave something to be desired, but if you're setting up a VPN into an AWS VPC you can use the instructions here https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-vtdzptnsownow?ref=cns_srchrow#pdp-overview to get it up and running.
