    Getting remote users to the internal network without compromising the internal network to many different IP whitelistings. This was our case. We were able to get that going very easily and our internal team workload decreased dramatically managing internal network access. All we have to do is provide VPN to the users, approve their devices and we are good to go

    If you looking for a reliable, light weight and secure VPN server, than OpenVPN Access Server is the one. Easy to install and manage, OpenVPN will provide secure remote connections, with a very good integration with almost all LDAP directories, for user management. With my experience, I don't see any scenario that OpenVPN won't be able to handle.

    Pros
    GoodAccess
    • Ease of use/onboarding, it's very easy for an IT admin to deploy to users
    • Simplicity, their management interface is dead simple to use and still powerful
    • Static VPN locations! We were looking for a pretty specific place, and they offered many of our second choices as well.

    Cons
    GoodAccess
    • I believe the pricing model could use some better math for scalability, but it's still highly competitive and simple to upgrade with. For a mid-startup it will be harder to choose a company I believe, but for a 2-10 person organisation, there won't be any better.

    • some times error logs are not clear
    • Configuring 3rd party apps can sometimes be problematic
    • Limited functionality for iPhone users, but I believe that is due to an apple issue.

    It was easy to setup, is easy to use and a great product for the price. It is not the fanciest or the most complicated VPN on the market, but it does exactly what our company needed it for and it does it very well. We would recommend this VPN to other companies in our situation as well

    Whatever console or firewall you are running OpenVPN Access Server, it's configuration is very easy to do. You can create multiple tunnels, with different pourposes and authetication methods. It also has a quick and easy view of the connections opened, with possible actions, such as a very efficient kill switch and reconnect options.

    We have hardly had any incidents because the service works very good, but when we have had doubts about the implementation of the gateway to connect ours clouds, the GoodAccess service has been fast and efficient. We have been able to implement and deliver our infrastructure faster with their help.

    GoodAccess specifically addresses our need for a static IP gateway. Other products come with too many features irrelevant to us. We have very specific needs that must be enabled in a very short time frame and GoodAccess was good for us like that, basically, turn key. GoodAccess connection also shows good connectivity speed and that was good enough for us.

    OpenVPN had a better UI and usability for our team. It was more straightforward, had better SAML integration, and allowed our team to be on the VPN and on our network in seconds. We had some issues getting Nord to work for our use cases, and have run into pretty much zero issues with OpenVPN.

    Return on Investment
    GoodAccess
    • Thanks to this solution, we were able to secure access to our cloud resources and stop threats that we received frequently.
    • GoodAccess allows us to grant and withdraw access to our resources in a very simple way, in the event that there are changes in personnel in the work teams or contractors.

    • Great for work at home or BCP events.
