Nothing worth mentioning, the software is great

Solid choice for VPN server

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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
Very good product with an easy step-by-step deployment guide
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of sign-in and deployment using SMAL SSO make OpenVPN such an easy product for end users to provision their own VPNs with limited IT knowledge. Its ease of Azure deployment made the whole setup process a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it does support SAML, you still need to add the users manually (from my findings) to the OpenVPN server, it would be ideal if this pulled from the permissions on the enterprise app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexible VPN with ease of end user setup for connecting to Azure servers
Excellent, easy to manage remote access VPN solution
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement, excellent device compatibility, extremely reliable
What do you dislike about the product?
A little on the expensive side. Support is not super helpful in my experience. You need to reset MFA tokens for users from the CLI which is clunky

In my experience it is the easiest way to implement MFA for remote access. Also for my clients with limited remote access VPN functionality this is easy to sell and implement
Great tool for day-to-day use

It allows us to add an extra layer of security to all our operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that user management could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to establish a basic level of security for all our equipment, with minimal maintenance.
OpenVPN Access Server Has Been Solid For Us For 10 Years
What do you like best about the product?
For my team and I, OpenVPN Access Server has been part of our infrastructure for the last 10 years. When we first had a need for a reliable, day to day VPN, we researched and spoke with others in our field looking for recommendations. Unanimously most of the people we spoke with recommended OpenVPN. We were tasked with setting it up for a team of about 15 people and found it easy to roll it out even to those in other physical locations with simple to follow instructions. We integrated it for our entire team in less than 24 hours. We consulted with their customer support on a few questions during the initial setup and they were extremely helpful in ensuring a smooth transition from our old VPN server. Our team uses OpenVPN daily with some of us staying connected 24x7. We found that the feature set was more than enough for us as we only use the typical features that most would. With that said we have the flexibility to use more advanced features if we should need them in the future. When it comes time to renew our licensing, it's as simple as copy and pasting the new licenses code. There's no need for a restart or anything that would compromise our connectivity. We have been extremely happy in the 10 years that we have been using OpenVPN Access Server.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that has been a challenge for us over the years is that the licensing model has changed. Even with that change, we were willing to pay a little bit more knowing that the OpenVPN Access Server has worked extremely well for us over the last 10 years. After speaking with their team, they helped us through choosing the right model for oour needs and ever since then we just pay the renewal fees, update our license key, and move on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our OpenVPN Server has allowed us to connect our US and internationl teams to the same resources with an easy to use lightweight client. In some cases the international team has slower than normal internet access and even with that the OpenVPN client works well and keeps them connected. A lot of time we are pushing large amounts of code and data from slower connections and the VPN always holds up for us.
Solid, reliable platform with good self service setup for users.
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.
Affordable, Reliable, Secure Access
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.
