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."
"The solution is secure and user-friendly."
"OpenVPN Access Server is cheap, and we get to use it ourselves. It is also a stable solution."
"Provided the easiest UX for our end-users and had the greatest interoperability with all the operating systems we used, including but not limited to: iOS, Android, OS X, Windows, and Linux."
"There is support for multi-factor authentication."
"Its most valuable feature is that it is open source."
"The best thing is that it is open source and free of cost."
"It can securely do remote product updates... just as if it was on our LAN."
"The most valuable thing about OpenVPN Access Server is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"The product's interface needs improvement."
"There are certain shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"​There was one annoying feature where we had to disable and enable the user. I cannot remember what it was exactly, but I think it was for a password lockout. It would be nice if there was a checkbox, or something, in the web interface to allow you to unlock a user whose password was locked."
"OpenVPN Access Server needs to have fewer updates."
"I want the tool to be faster. We have experienced connectivity issues while using OpenVPN and FortiClient."
"They may have this already, but it would be nice to be able to get more notifications if a site drops unexpectedly."
"It could be faster. It could also be more stable."
"We occasionally have internet issues which affect stability."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has average pricing."
"The product's pricing is good value, definitely. It is one of the best features, I would say. Evaluate the product before seeing which type of licensing is good for you. I think there is a good evaluation method available for OpenVPN, so you can just evaluate if it meets your needs. Then go forward with the right licensing policy."
"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."
"It is free, you buy support."
"The licensing has a fixed pricing."
"Begin with the community version and upgrade to paid one if the need arises."
"I don't need to pay for its license since it is an open-source tool."
"The solution is free of cost."
