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.
Girraj Godia - PeerSpot reviewer
Devops Engineer at Emergent
Has improved internal app access by allowing secure user onboarding and simplified network whitelisting
The plan for OpenVPN Access Server could be improved. When adding new people, better plans for startups would be beneficial. I'm working in a startup and sometimes people think we should take the enterprise plan or not. If there was a dedicated plan for startups, it would be really helpful. For instance, providing store credit for OpenVPN Access Server through a startup program, similar to YC's program which gives credit to new startups. UI-wise, OpenVPN Access Server is easy to manage, but the overall overview dashboard in the admin portal could be improved. Currently, you have to go through dropdowns to find where to add users or whitelist IPs. Creating an onboarding dashboard where an admin person can find these things easily would be beneficial.

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 found the stability to be good."
"The setup is easy."
"The solution is reliable, easy to use, and open source. It's free at no cost."
"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."
"OpenVPN Access Server is very stable."
"It is very easy to look at the quality of the connection and the bandwidth and do an investigation if there are problems on the network."
"There is support for multi-factor authentication."
"OpenVPN Access Server is a simple and easy-to-use solution that I can use myself without anybody's help."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be a bit better."
"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."
"They may have this already, but it would be nice to be able to get more notifications if a site drops unexpectedly."
"If we had to create something for someone who was not necessarily tech savvy, I had to set that up on their computer, I had to write "read me's" and other things so that they could install their client and then connect to the VPN by themselves. So it was hard to set up for people who are not tech savvy."
"Working on a faster connection might be a good idea for the product's next release."
"It could include a configuration wizard so that users who do not follow instructions well can configure a connection."
"The solution should provide a faster connection, and its security could be improved."
"We occasionally have internet issues which affect stability."
"I'd like to have more control over the users when they are accessing the network."
