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."
"A valuable feature for us is its ability to see the new Citrix server as a local server within the company, and it allows us to test abroad."
"Highly configurable. You can create your own custom client installer and can rebrand the server-side program."
"The solution is secure and user-friendly."
"We were surprised how straightforward it was to integrate with AWS."
"It can scale well."
"A valuable feature for us is its ability to see the new Citrix server as a local server within the company. And it allows us to test abroad."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is user-friendly and easy to implement."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The server configuration file needs to be improved, it's the biggest problem in the configuration process."
"I have not seen a return on investment in terms of fewer employees needed, money saved, or time saved."
"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 to have more control over the users when they are accessing the network."
"If someone's key is not working, or if we had to remove someone's permission from it, or maybe an employee left the company and we had to take their key out, that seemed a little bit more complicated than it had to be."
"OpenVPN could improve in centralized management and enhance the GUI configuration steps."
"Working on a faster connection might be a good idea for the product's next release."
"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."
