OpenVPN Access Server vs. Proton Mail vs. Virtru

OpenVPN is great for anyone who needs to access internal company resources while away from the office. For us, it's useful for our office staff if they need to work from home for a day or are at a work conference. I can see where it would not be helpful if you didn't store much on your intranet, but we do, so it's very helpful.

Good if you like privacy and not having your data mined for advertizing and AI training.

Of all the products out there that integrate with Google, we found Virtru to be the most user-friendly for both our users and the recipients. At the same time, its logging capabilities provide the trail we need for sensitive information. This is one tool for us that has generally been "setup and forget" which helps with the I.T. Dept workload.

We've never had any issues with usability. The UI is very intuitive, and our general user base (which is not very tech-savvy) can use OpenVPN with two clicks since we have SAML set up. It's the easiest thing ever for them, and I don't know how we'd even begin to improve on it.

Mostly intuitive and easy to use. A bit harder if you stick with two passwords (one for the account and one for the encryption).

We found OpenVPN to be more cost-effective vs Azure. In addition, it was easier to install, deploy, and manage

Proton had a wider offering of products like vpn and drive. I ended up paying for a yearly subscription, I liked it so much.
