What do you like best about the product?
one of the few good working MFA vpn on-premise solutions

you cannot buy 3 or 7 licenses and need to go for 10 users bundle, which is discouraging small customers. if you have need for 5 it is extremely unfair to pay foor 10 just because there is n other way

Simple but effective VPN solution (though needs a better web console)

  • February 13, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We don't have too many login issues or dropped connections with OpenVPN. I've used other vpn services in the past and they can be a bit shaky at times causing disconnecitons or issues with users being able to log on.
We have had issues of those kinds with OpenVPN but they are usually solved quickly and happen fairly rare.
I'm also happy about the speed of the vpn network. I don't notice any significant delay's when on the vpn vs when off.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am the admin and the web-based gui console is very limited. You have to do things like reset mfa codes through a terminal. I wish I could just locate a user's account in the web console and reset there.
Seriously OpenVPN, this is something that should be possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenVPN allows us to protect our IP and our customer's data behind the firewall and heavily restrict the access to outside users.
We are a fully remote company and without a solid VPN, we would not be able to function.

OpenVPN est un outil plutot fiable, qui a de rare probleme est une haute avabilite mais il manque q

  • February 13, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
La resilience, avec deux serveur, il est tres rare deplus avoir deux serveur disponible.
Cela permet de fournir une haute disponibilite, ce qui est important quand on a de l'astreinte dans une entreprise
What do you dislike about the product?
Les mises a jours sont pas souvente, et des fois sont buggue, les beta ne doivent pas etre assez long, certain option en entreprise sont pas fini, comme le SSO qui est tres important mais indisponible a la connexion au panel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cela nous permet de nous connecter aux serveurs on prem de notre infrastructure, et ainsi evitez d'exposer au public des serveurs

Good product

  • February 13, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's quite stable and we rarely had any issues with the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
What we don't like is that we have to maintain the VM/server by ourselves. A complete end-to-end managed solution, which is easy to integrate into our existing VPC, might be in our interests for the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to access services hosted within our VPC on GCP on client applications.

Overall easy to setup and configure. Online documentation is easy to follow and helpful support!

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Support was quick and direct to the point to resolve issues. Documentation is detailed. Configuration is easy to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot really think of any, other than pricing was very competitive until 2024, when there was a drastic increase, thus forcing us to decrease our licences compared to what we used to have, and then incrementally increasing licenses to fill our max needs versus having extras always available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easilly allowing users to remote into the corporate network to access items not available otherwise.

Simplicity at it's finest

  • February 13, 2025
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's simple and just works. There are plenty of settings you can adjust, but by default, either choose full-tunnel or split-tunnel. Set your private network CIDRs, setup authentication, and you're good to go!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm sure others offer more advanced features, but I haven't found a great need for any of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Access to private networks is made a breeze
