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."
"It is open source and therefore affordable for small projects."
"Encrypted connections are, in all situations, better than unencrypted, so security is much better with OpenVPN."
"If you're looking for a solid solution to establish VPN tunnels between sites, be sure to put OpenVPN on your list to check out."
"The product provides secure internet connections and helps with faster downloads."
"It can scale well."
"OpenVPN Access Server met that need well."
"OpenVPN is a good option for kick-starting any kind of interoperability between offices."
"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."
"I'd like to have more control over the users when they are accessing the network."
"I would like to see a GUI or Web UI to manage users. Today these features are in the Pro Edition or are done by scripts."
"I would like to see continued advanced security implementation."
"I rate the price for OpenVPN as overpriced at the moment."
"OpenVPN Access Server needs to have fewer updates."
"There sometimes is an incompatibility between some VPNs."
"Needs a better GUI."
"The product is fully customized through configuration files, which is all achieved through manual data entry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is free of cost."
"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."
"The Pro Edition has a reasonable price per user."
"OpenVPN Access Server was free for students. I don't know if you have to pay for an advanced version."
"Begin with the community version and upgrade to paid one if the need arises."
"The solution was free of charge."
"At one point I had to purchase addition connection licenses. I was very pleased with the pricing and licensing; so much easier than navigating the confusing jungle of Microsoft and Cisco licensing and pricing. That alone made the product a delight to manage."
"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."
