User Testimonials
	GoodAccess	OpenVPN Access Server
Likelihood to Recommend	GoodAccess If you have a widely distributed team that needs to access a secure network based on a fixed IP address for whitelisting restriction, GoodAccess is the right tool for you. As a robust all-purpose VPN solution, we have not tried that so lack experience to comment, but it can likely do the job well, too. Adrian Hsieh, PhD, PMP Senior Director Read full review	OpenVPN We used it to connect our two offices together. It aids in secure file transfer for remote users. Some of the 3rd party software is only allowed to run on specific IP addresses due to the license and this is a way that remote users can utilize that software without being on-site Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Marcus Arvidsson Head of Product Read full review	OpenVPN Secure Easy setup 2 free users automatic updates Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Marcus Arvidsson Head of Product Read full review	OpenVPN 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	GoodAccess I was tired to find good VPN service and want to help everyone to find real good quality and team. Want to advice Goodaccess to everyone, just try it, you'll see yourself. price is good, quality is the best and what is important, when you are buying package, you know what you will get. ZJ Zviadi Jangirashvili IT Read full review	OpenVPN No answers on this topic
Support Rating	GoodAccess 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenVPN No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	GoodAccess It's better suited for companies and small teams than for individuals, so we chose GoodAccess. Also, we are happy to have advanced technical support and we are able to talk with someone from the company if needed. Access logs and other features are must-haves in our security policy and we can see our usage in company. Petr Jirásek Co-founder & CTO Read full review	OpenVPN We found OpenVPN to be more cost-effective vs Azure. In addition, it was easier to install, deploy, and manage Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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.
