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.

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

"It is stable."
"OpenVPN Access Server met that need well."
"OpenVPN is a good option for kick-starting any kind of interoperability between offices."
"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, push out product updates; just like on our LAN, it's a virtual private network and we just push across our updates."
"The impact of OpenVPN Access Server for my company is really for my customers, but they have been able to provide their own customers with a safe remote environment and fixed IP addresses, which was the outcome."
"The most valuable thing about OpenVPN Access Server is its ease of use."
"The product’s adaptability is valuable."
"It allowed people to remotely access files from their mobile devices and was so easy for end-users to use that they were able to work more efficiently no matter where they were, whether at a client’s campus, home, traveling – wherever they had a device and internet access."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be a bit better."
"Everything in OpenVPN Access Server is very good, but the price is expensive."
"One improvement I would like to see in OpenVPN is better adaptability in certain geographical areas."
"The server configuration file needs to be improved, it's the biggest problem in the configuration process."
"It requires some experience of Linux server configuration to set it up."
"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 logs should be made easier to read."
"They should make the solution more secure by adding some firewall functionalities."
"There is always room for more security features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution was free of charge."
"One of the valuable features of OpenVPN is that it is free for a single user."
"It is an open-source solution, so we don't pay for anything."
"I don't need to pay for its license since it is an open-source tool."
"The product offers yearly as well as monthly subscription plans. It has moderate 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 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 Pro Edition has a reasonable price per user."
