Smooth expirience
What do you like best about the product?
Works out of the box. The documentation is up to date and has good step by step how to's to get started.
I installed the version for Azure and was ready to go within half an hour. The admin portal is well structured and responsive. I set up a site2site vpn and the customer support was fantastic, friendly, quick and know their stuff.
The server is in daily use and the site2site integrated seemlessly into our environment.

solid product, but no longer budget-friendly
What do you like best about the product?
This paid implementation of OpenVPN is very reliable and easy-to-use. This webGUI makes OpenVPN relatively simple to get running, and makes the common settings of OpenVPN very accessible. The solution runs equally well as on-premise or in hosted environment, and downtime is negligible. The few times I have had questions for customer support, they have been answered quickly and efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing cost has escalated so much over the last 5 years or so that OpenVPN Access Server is no longer a no-brainer solution for small-business VPNs. The built-in VPNs on most firewalls serve basic needs for much less, and more robust solutions with better reporting and equally flexible user access permissions are no longer wildly overpriced. I would seriously compare alternatives before implementing Access Server in a new environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote staff access to on-premise business application servers.
OpenVPN

We found OpenVPN to be a reliable and scalable VPN solution with good security features. The user interface is web based and easy to use. We found the split tunneling feature very useful not having to route all traffic back through our network.

The initial setup and configuration can still be complex and the licensing costs can add up.

Logging in every day is a pain. It could cache the authentication at least for a week.

This solves the issue of accessing our dev and test servers. Secures our environment.
OpenVPN Access Server is a good product
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about OpenVPN access server is how easy it is to spin up a new VPN server and use the client to connect to it.
We have several people using the server every day and there has been very minimal issues.
The integration for an SSL certificate is also quite nice as you can install an SSL directly from the access server's portal.

What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the admin portal within OpenVPN, the support isn't the best, and the documentation can be out-dated. Also, the last time I checked they were not being audited for SOC2 Compliance which can be a big no-go depending on your organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing us with a secure way to connect to outside services and control internal network traffic.

The new licensing model is missing a key feature that would make it work for us. So we continue to use the old licensing model.

Resetting MFA tokens for users seems to only be doable via command line. I have yet to find a web admin portal option to do so.

Many of our users work remotely, and need access to internal services.
