Très bon produit !

  • March 01, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- l'applicance est très fiable : jamais eu un seul bug (sauf quand je me trompe de paramétrage)
- facilité de mise en place
- peut-être mise à jour facilement
- support client réactif
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficulté à jour l'OS à jour en dessous en revanche :
j'ai dû plusieurs fois restaurer la VM à cause de bugs, et du coup j'ai préféré remettre une appliance de zéro
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Permettre à mes clients de se connecter de façon sécurisée à leur postes de travail

Je dirais que comme évolution, il faudrait une solution pour pouvoir limiter les accès client à certaines IP... mais c'est peut-être là une limite structurelle au VPN ?!

VPN Simplified

What do you like best about the product?
Extremely fast and easy to get setup. We use OpenVPN across our infra running in multiple locations. It's nothing but solid, we've never had a problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
Definitely having to install a new version each time an update happens. It does also jump from free to pretty expensive quickly for smaller companies.

Providing secure access into our infrastructure.

  • February 29, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

We've been using OpenVPN Access Server with 2FA for about 3 years now and it's been working flawlessly.

As a startup, we are more sensitive to price. A startup discount would be appreciated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote secure connection to our internal services.
Mandatory 2 factor authentication for remote access.
Synchronization with on-prem Active Directory.

OpenVPN is part of our infra life

  • February 16, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use OpenVPN to connect to our servers and applications which are hosted on the AWS cloud. It provides us with a broad umbrella where we put all of our cloud instances and also other automation securely. The one thing I like about using and managing OpenVPN is the simple UI and easy-to-follow steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Admin UI could be more in-depth and fancy. I am an admin and there is nothing complicated to manage or maintain. It satisfies my purpose and goals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a need where we wanted to manage all of our servers hosted in the cloud and other automation under a very secure environment. We came across OpenVPN and configured it on our production environment. It's been close to 5-6 years now and there have been zero issues or even thoughts to worry about it. It provides a secure tunnel for us to SSH into the EC2 instances. We use Jenkins jobs, python scripts, and what not but it works well with all of our infra. As an Admin, it is very easier for me to manage thew user groups and their permissions. Just a few clicks and done.

Best VPN service provider

  • November 14, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are using it with initially 10 users but we have increased it to 20 users. Happy with overall services along encryption.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a slowness when we connected to openVPN... they need to fix this problem otherwise even if we have high speed internet we are not able to access the online application seemlessly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has resolved our security issues while we are accessing our certain application whose exposure to public domain is not safe. So we use OpenVPN to resolve this problem.

Secure your GCP assets through a this deployment in just a few clicks!

  • November 06, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It was very easy to install and configure through GCP's deployment marketplace. I've rarely contacted Customer Support, since it works smoothly out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not much about the Access Server but more about the lack of elasticity in its implementation as an instance. Running as a containarized solutions should fix this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure access to our internal GCP assets.
