OpenVPN for a small college

  • August 14, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the easiest VPN products to set-up and use for our school. We tried a few before settling for OpenVPN. Even our senior non-tech teachers did not have problems installing the client on their machines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost isn't the lowest around. But we traded cost for ease of use. Its no use paying for something super cheap but having to hire a consultant to implement it.

Our internal support team was able to set this up and deploy easily by reading the instructions thoroughly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our school subscribed to OpenVPN to provide a private and secured way to access our older intranet-based software during the pandemic. Since it worked very well during the pandemic and people already know how to use it, we thought it was best to leave it as it is to provide an extra layer of security even if the people who need to access our legacy software is on premise anyway.

Security ,Cost-Effectiveness ,Ease of Use &Compliance
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as of now. It does give trouble connecting though which is temperorary
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a SaaS Global Company & we wanted to use a VPN connection for our employees internally. We did evaluate couple of tools in the space mainly Cisco & Open VPN. Costs and maintainance of OpenVPN is far lower than cisco. It has all the features that an ISO aduit would require. Trust worthy tool & support is excellent

My favourite VPN solution!

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
My favourite thing about OpenVPN is how simple and quick it is to get started, plus the integrations it offers out of the box for the with such an easy setup is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is that the server can't run on Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem we had was using an older out of date VPN method which didn't support modern authentication and had very little features. Now with OpenVPN we have Azure authentication with MFA enforcement, tighter security rules and NAT capabilities.

Smooth expirience

  • August 14, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Works out of the box. The documentation is up to date and has good step by step how to's to get started.
I installed the version for Azure and was ready to go within half an hour. The admin portal is well structured and responsive. I set up a site2site vpn and the customer support was fantastic, friendly, quick and know their stuff.
The server is in daily use and the site2site integrated seemlessly into our environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
When logging into the portal a page mit links to connect products pops up (after login creds) and when
you skip that you have to log in again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
accessing sites (safely) that dont have a static IP

OpenVPN Access Server is a good product

  • August 13, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about OpenVPN access server is how easy it is to spin up a new VPN server and use the client to connect to it.

We have several people using the server every day and there has been very minimal issues.

The integration for an SSL certificate is also quite nice as you can install an SSL directly from the access server's portal.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the admin portal within OpenVPN, the support isn't the best, and the documentation can be out-dated. Also, the last time I checked they were not being audited for SOC2 Compliance which can be a big no-go depending on your organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing us with a secure way to connect to outside services and control internal network traffic.
