VPN that is reliable and fast.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that this product can be used with multiple diffrent venders verses just one. Can be used on any operating system and is mobile. Keeps password so you don't have to login every time. Works with iOS even when apple breaks things on each update with Wi-Fi
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup isn't easy and must use the application on all devices. iOS and Android devices must open app to start and end VPN connection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure that when on a public connection that our data stays safe.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you make nots if the setup information on this product. It's a bit difficult to setup on mobile devices and needs a separate app to use.
Very Secure, excellent Value!!!
What do you like best about the product?
That it's free, and more secure than older Cisco products using a <2048-bit key. Don't need any special hardware, and old server will do with a few NIC cards. I highly recommend from an admin/power user perspective, as you have an extremely secure & reliable VPN tool here that is self-healing and can work well in production environments on a shoe-string budget.
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface is very minimal, the Windows client has been improved but is a little confusing for some users since it resides in the system tray and relies on alt-clicking to connect, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network security and remote access. Site-Site VPN with no specialized hardware or monthly fees. Works well across multiple platforms, allows me to connect remote Mac clients, Windows 10, and even Linux all through one piece of software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not super user friendly but it works very well and is completely free. Hard to beat in the VPN segment, given cost/security/reliability.
Works fine for what I use it for. No problems.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can simply connect to the Open VPN. Once I'm connected I have no problem accessing our database remotely. It doesn't disconnect while I'm using it and it doesn't even seem to slow down the data base.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I have such a long password and that there doesn't seem to be an obvious option for having the password stored in the system. I save the password in MS Word and then have to copy paste it to connect. Seems like a waste of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I need to work out of the office and still access the data warehouse I use this tool. It allows me to be more flexible in my work location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Works well. No hassle.
