Effective and Seamless
What do you like best about the product?
Once it is set up, it's super easy to use, seamless, almost invisible yet effective. The customer support is excelllent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really nothing to dislike. As for most services, direct customer support is slightly hidden as they "encourage" the user to make use of docs, faqa, and automated assistants. But once you do get to customer support it is outstanding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Serves nicely as a VPN.

Modern VPN Solution that supports 365 SAML and MFA
What do you like best about the product?
I wanted to avoid using RADIUS for authentication and this ticked all the boxes so I can setup authentication through 365 SSO and MFA.
It works well and their support has been pretty helpful in my experience.
OpenVPN Connect works great for Windows and macOS

OpenVPN Connect works great for Windows and macOS
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had a GUI client for Linux. Currently you have to use OpenVPN3 cli. Network Manager doesn't support the pop up windows for SAML authentication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved the problem of needing MFA and integration authentication with 365/Entra ID. This allows us to not need another on-prem server just to handle VPN authentication.

Plus, its robust encryption ensures data protection while maintaining stable performance across various devices and operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
While OpenVPN Access Server is a powerful and flexible VPN solution, its licensing model can be a drawback for some users, as it limits the number of concurrent connections unless additional licenses are purchased. Additionally, while the web-based management interface is convenient, it may feel somewhat basic for advanced users who prefer more granular control. Initial setup and configuration can also be slightly complex for those unfamiliar with networking concepts, especially when dealing with firewall rules and routing. Despite these minor drawbacks, it remains a solid and reliable choice for secure remote access.
