We looked through 196 user reviews, to identify which products are mentioned as Access Server integrations, and what is the users perception.

Integration rating: 4.0 (1)

We use Azure as our IdP so integrating it with OpenVPN for SSO is critical for us. Other than a couple of small gripes mentioned earlier in this review, it's excellent.
