What do you like best about the product?
Ease of standing it up and general stability. Authentication integrates well with our SSO and the user portal is easy for users to navigate to get the right agent and profile to get connected to the VPN.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to manually manage its updates, etc. But that's why this is the more economical choice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a simple, inexpensive way to keep our people secure on unsecured networks. OpenVPN Access Server was quick and easy to stand up and worked seamlessly so we didn't have to spend a lot of time supporting users who were trying to use it.
