Stas Radionov - PeerSpot reviewer
Test Manager at FirmTec
Responsive support, fair pricing, and good performance
It's going very well. We are happy with its capabilities. The performance is good overall. We like that we can change the connection if you don't like the speed, for example, is limited. You can find the right one to get the performance you require. It is easy to set up. It is stable. Technical support has been helpful and responsive. Pricing is fair. It was not too expensive.
Fedir Plotnikov - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Globant
User management has simplified internal VPN access and now provides clear visibility and control
I do not use any role defining features because it is a really small organization, so it wasn't required, but it is there if needed. I have seen OpenVPN Access Server integrations such as LDAP, RADIUS, PAM, and SAML, but again, due to the size of the company, it wasn't necessary and we didn't have it inside the company. However, it was nice that it is already embedded inside. We haven't used much in terms of integrations with OpenVPN Access Server, so it's hard to say. We only used basic features there. My advice for others looking to implement OpenVPN Access Server is that it is at least worth trying if you need a fast and easy implementation solution without technical overhead and you just need VPN access, which is supported by all operating systems and mobile operating system vendors. It is definitely worth a try. OpenVPN Access Server was purchased directly from the website, not on the AWS marketplace or through a partner purchase. I would rate this product an overall eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable."
"I have set the default routes to the VPN server so that all traffic is encrypted."
"The most valuable thing about OpenVPN Access Server is its ease of use."
"I like that it's easy to use, easy to download, and not hard to manage."
"The core VPN functionality is reliable and relatively easy to administer once it is deployed."
"For us, it's important that OpenVPN Access Server is cheap and that we get to use it ourselves."
"Highly configurable. You can create your own custom client installer and can rebrand the server-side program."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that I can access my local network remotely and avoid doing all the port forwarding and redirections, and so on."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be a bit better."
"For an infrastructure product, that is not acceptable."
"There could be an easier way to set up the solution. However, if you use the provided information that comes with the solution there should not be a problem."
"I'd like the solution to have more access points and more speed."
"The high availability deployment is not very straightforward. They can make it simpler. OpenVPN does not support some of the additional protocols that Pulse Secure and Cisco AnyConnect support. They can include support for these additional protocols."
"The connections could be faster and more stable."
"It is not scalable."
"There could be an easier way to set up the solution."
"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."

"OpenVPN is a free and open-source solution."
"Begin with the community version and upgrade to paid one if the need arises."
"The Pro Edition has a reasonable price per user."

"OpenVPN Access Server is free and open source."
"OpenVPN Access Server was free for students. I don't know if you have to pay for an advanced version."
"I would say the product's pricing is a good value. I would recommend to other companies to implement it. I've seen other software, in tandem with the service, to be very expensive."
