OpenVPN Access Server Reviews

Our primary use case for this solution is connecting to multiple servers.

This solution is good overall.

This solution should improve the connection speed and the user interface. The stability of this solution should be improved as well.

In the next release, I would like to see the user interface become more user-friendly.

I have been using this solution for about one year.

I would rate this solution's stability an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

My impression is that this is a scalable solution.

My impression is that the initial setup is straightforward. It took about 15 minutes to deploy this solution.

The implementation was done by our IT department.

Overall, I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

I would recommend this solution to other people.

We connect to the OpenVPN using a VPN for any computer not directly connected to our local server. This is necessary because multiple offices need to use the software developed on the local server.

We use OpenVPN Access Server on every device that needs to connect to the server. It's the best way to achieve better latency and connect remotely.

It is easy to use. We connect to the server and launch our software in between.

It should automate our processes. Our developers continuously improve the software, but we'll continue using PowerBuilder unless we undertake a significant project to migrate to a different platform, possibly Java. Additionally, we need RPA software. I've also looked into Twilio, which provides automated SMS alerts. We're assessing how useful that service could be for our needs.

It's stable.

We need RPA software and automatic testing software to make any improvements.

We want to scale internationally. To do this, we'll create a blank copy of our software, replicate our database architecture schema, and then prepare it for the new location. Additionally, we plan to implement automation tools, such as RPA and automated testing, to catch up on the technological aspects we've been lagging. Since our current software is built on PowerBuilder, starting from scratch is challenging. Therefore, we'll continue using it while integrating new resources to improve our system.

It is suitable for small to medium businesses. We have three locations: one laboratory and two offices. We have approximately 120 to 130 employees across these locations.

The initial setup was very easy, and one system administrator did it.

It's efficient. Connecting to the local server without it would be much more difficult. Every employee who works from another office has to use it, so it's essential.

It is not that expensive. It makes it more efficient for some people's jobs.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I used OpenVPN Access Server to get into a special network and used some keys to access virtual machines. We also used it to try and run some pen tests.

I like that it's easy to use, easy to download, and not hard to manage.

The connections could be faster and more stable.

I used OpenVPN Access Server briefly, probably for a week or two.

OpenVPN Access Server is a stable solution. But sometimes, it would crash if the connection was left on for too long. But this wasn't a problem for us.

OpenVPN Access Server was scalable for ten users in my team. I don't know how it will be beyond that. 

The initial setup was straightforward. It took about 15 minutes to deploy this solution.

I implemented this solution.

OpenVPN Access Server was free for students. I don't know if you have to pay for an advanced version.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give OpenVPN Access Server a nine.

We are primarily using the solution to access the local networks. It allows colleagues who work from home to access the network.

It works well. The performance has been good. It's stable. 

It's been issue-free since we deployed it.

It helps ensure access for remote colleagues. You can gain access wherever you are. 

The connectivity is very good. 

It is scalable.

The setup is easy.

This solution is open-source. 

We'd like the solution to continue to improve security. We'd like security over the network lists related to OpenSense. 

I'd like to have more control over the users when they are accessing the network. I'd like to know everything they've done while they are on the network. 

I've been using the solution for three years. I've used it for a while now. 

The solution is stable and offers good connectivity. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable. The performance has been good.

It is very scalable. We have 50 people on the solution. 

We do not have plans to increase usage at this time. 

We do not really need technical support assistance. 

We have used other solutions in the past. We did have Cisco AnyConnect and saw that OpenVPN was open-source and free, which is why we prefer it. 

The solution is very easy to set up. It is not a complex process. It's also very easy to configure. There are some tutorials to help you along. 

It took us about half a day to deploy the solution. 

We did the deployment three years ago, and since it was so long ago, I cannot recall the exact steps. 

We have about nine people that handle maintenance tasks as needed. There are managers, two developers, and network engineers that can handle the job.

We can handle the setup of the solution in-house. We did not need any outside help.

This is an open-source solution. 

I'm not sure if we are using the latest version of the solution. I'd recommend the solution to others.

This is a great solution for small businesses. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

The solution is used to connect to the server or network when working remotely.

Security is the most valuable feature.

The interface can be more user-friendly.

The stability had room for improvement.

The scalability has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I give the stability a five out of ten.

I give the scalability a six out of ten.

The implementation was completed in-house.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

The solution is a VPN installed at the customer's headquarters, with three small offices connecting to the main server to open the application and access a specific database.

The most valuable feature is stability.

There is always room for more security features.

I have been using the solution for five years.

The solution is stable. I was able to apply almost the same configuration without having to monitor the connection daily. Thus, the solution is stable and does not require more bandwidth or a more complex configuration. It is simply a link to connect to the specific application on the server and that is all.

The scalability for the four locations is good.

The technical support was satisfactory as I found a lot of information on the network and on the Internet. 

The initial setup is straightforward, provided we have done our preparation. When we attempt to install the solution for the first time, we need to research how to configure it, check the parameters, assess whether other software is more suitable for the customer, and consider the cost.

The deployment took one week.

I first installed the server for the deployment, created the key for the client, and tested it on the external line to check if connecting was possible. Then, I went to different remote sites and deployed their information.

The solution was free of charge.

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

We tested and discussed with the new vendor an application that is almost the same, but it is cloud-based and all upgrades are done on the data center. This means that their new solution does not require any installation on the remote side, just an internet connection to connect to the cloud and they don't have to worry about security as everything is stored on the server. This is the future.

We have ten people using the solution in our organization.

The number of people required for maintenance depends on the scale on which the solution is being used. On a small scale, only one person is required for maintenance.

There may be other solutions that are better than OpenVPN Access Server, but we must assess what we will receive after installation and our requirements in order to find the best solution to meet our needs.

When deploying the solution, we strive to work with it as much as possible. We must consider the possibility of updates and, if the customer has configured the solution, we must make the necessary adjustments. In this case, it is important to involve and attempt to comprehend the situation.

OpenVPN Access Server provides remote secure access. 

OpenVPN Access Server needs to have fewer updates. 

OpenVPN Access Server is stable. 

The tool is scalable. 

The tool's deployment is straightforward. It took ten minutes to complete. 

OpenVPN Access Server is a cheap corporate solution. 

I rate the product a nine out of ten. 

I use OpenVPN Access Server for remote maintenance, enabling secure access to systems. It is also my choice for smart working, providing a reliable and encrypted connection for remote employees. Additionally, I deploy it for site-to-site VPNs, ensuring secure communication between our headquarters and branch offices.

The most valuable thing about OpenVPN Access Server is its ease of use. The user-friendly interface simplifies configuration, and features like reversibility and scalability enhance its flexibility.

One improvement I would like to see in OpenVPN is better adaptability in certain geographical areas, like Asia, where the traffic can face blocks. Addressing this issue would enhance the overall performance, especially for data transfer in those regions.

I have been using OpenVPN Access Server for many years.

I would rate the stability of the solution as a nine out of ten.

OpenVPN is generally scalable, but in certain regions like China, where deep packet inspection is widespread, there are certain challenges. The scalability holds up well, but consideration is needed for environments with stringent stateful inspection, especially in cases like China. Overall, I would rate the scalability of the solution as an eight out of ten.

Setting up OpenVPN is generally quick, both from the client and server sides. The connection setup is speedy. The more time-consuming part is implementing traffic policies, but overall, the initial setup is efficient.

Licensing for OpenVPN is generally hassle-free. Server-side access is usually included, and there is flexibility with features. I haven't encountered licensing issues on the user side either, as proprietary solutions or OpenVPN's built-in options are commonly used without problems.

Currently, we are evaluating solutions from Barracuda, Sophos, and Fortinet.

My advice for those starting with OpenVPN is to ensure you are using the latest version, as the trend is to refine encryption algorithms. Being up-to-date with the software ensures you benefit from the latest improvements and security measures. Overall, I would rate OpenVPN Access Server as a nine out of ten.
