We connect to the OpenVPN using a VPN for any computer not directly connected to our local server. This is necessary because multiple offices need to use the software developed on the local server.

Great VPN product

To be honest, there is nothing we dislike about it.

Provides better latency and connects remotely
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
We use OpenVPN Access Server on every device that needs to connect to the server. It's the best way to achieve better latency and connect remotely.
What is most valuable?
It is easy to use. We connect to the server and launch our software in between.
What needs improvement?
It should automate our processes. Our developers continuously improve the software, but we'll continue using PowerBuilder unless we undertake a significant project to migrate to a different platform, possibly Java. Additionally, we need RPA software. I've also looked into Twilio, which provides automated SMS alerts. We're assessing how useful that service could be for our needs.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We need RPA software and automatic testing software to make any improvements.
We want to scale internationally. To do this, we'll create a blank copy of our software, replicate our database architecture schema, and then prepare it for the new location. Additionally, we plan to implement automation tools, such as RPA and automated testing, to catch up on the technological aspects we've been lagging. Since our current software is built on PowerBuilder, starting from scratch is challenging. Therefore, we'll continue using it while integrating new resources to improve our system.
It is suitable for small to medium businesses. We have three locations: one laboratory and two offices. We have approximately 120 to 130 employees across these locations.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was very easy, and one system administrator did it.
What was our ROI?
It's efficient. Connecting to the local server without it would be much more difficult. Every employee who works from another office has to use it, so it's essential.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is not that expensive. It makes it more efficient for some people's jobs.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
