Secure remote access has protected critical data and now simplifies role-based user management
An area for improvement is the pricing model. The concurrent user licenses get expensive pretty quickly as your organization grows, so more flexible pricing options would be a huge plus. Another area is configurational disconnect. While the admin web UI handles about 90% of what you need, the moment you have to do deep, advanced routing customization, you still have to drop back to the command line interface to make those changes. It would be great to see those deeper configurations completely integrated into the web portal. Lastly, it would be awesome to see native support for newer, lighter protocols through WireGuard built straight into the platform alongside standard OpenVPN for better performance efficiency.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support team provides good services and faster response times."
"OpenVPN Access Server has positively impacted my organization by supporting remote work and improving security since users must authenticate through the VPN first before accessing services such as RDP and SSH, which reduces our attack surface."
"OpenVPN Access Server has positively impacted our organization by providing a high, reliable, stable environment, especially for remote work."
"The most valuable features of OpenVPN are its ease of use, client familiarity, end-user familiarity, operating system integration, and price points."
"It can securely do remote product updates... just as if it was on our LAN."
"For us, it's important that OpenVPN Access Server is cheap and that we get to use it ourselves."
"The most valuable features of the OpenVPN Access Server are the ease of use and integration with different platforms, such as Android and Windows. I can use the solution on my desktop and mobile devices. Additionally, the solution is secure."
"The most valuable thing about OpenVPN Access Server is its ease of use."
"Its most valuable feature is that it is open source."
 

Cons

"The product's interface needs improvement."
"It should automate our processes."
"It is not scalable."
"If there was a Graphical User Interface to help streamline the configuration, I believe OpenVPN would probably venture more into the non-geek realm as it were."
"The interface could be a little bit better in future iterations."
"I would be more happy with the idea of licensing to have a reduced price with longer, grouped, annual fees. We have a lot of other software that does the same thing. It's a little higher price if you're going with a shorter stint, but there's a reduction in price for three- and five-year contracts."
"It could be faster. It could also be more stable."
"I find that connection speed with OpenVPN Access Server loses in comparison to WireGuard, which is very fast."
"I would like to see a simpler interface, so that we can make the connection between the local network using the LAN IP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has average pricing."
"The price point is fantastic since it is free."
"OpenVPN Access Server is a cheap corporate solution."
"At one point I had to purchase addition connection licenses. I was very pleased with the pricing and licensing; so much easier than navigating the confusing jungle of Microsoft and Cisco licensing and pricing. That alone made the product a delight to manage."
"The product offers yearly as well as monthly subscription plans. It has moderate pricing."
"OpenVPN is an open-source solution. If the solution is used for personal use it is free. For non-personal use, the solution can be expensive."
"The solution is free of cost."
"Open VPN Access Server is open-source and free of charge."
"I don't need to pay for its license since it is an open-source tool."
