### "My ExpressVPN Experience"

June 23, 2022

3.0

Okay experience.

Pros

Their desktop and mobile applications are sleek, modern looking and easy to use. Even a first time user who doesn't know what a VPN and is now learning will be able to get it up and running in no time. Packages are competitive and are decently priced. They even have a 30 day money back guarantee. Decent selection of locations to choose from. Company is privacy centric. No collection and retention of user date, which is something I look for when choosing a VPN provider.

Cons

Connections can be sluggish sometimes. Needs more locations.

### "ExpressVPN Review"

July 26, 2021

5.0

Personally, ExpressVPN is the most accessible and convenient VPN that I used. It gave me opportunities to be able to watch television shows that are not in my country's vicinity. Also, I was able to download applications from different locations that were useful for school. It may be expensive, but you really get what you pay for. As of now, there are no problems encountered upon using this software.

Pros

ExpressVPN creates opportunities for individuals to access applications from one location to the other. Consequently, it assures you that your network is private and safe as soon as it is turned on. It is much more cheaper and secure than other plans that involve security. By using this, it unblocks other contents that cannot be accessed within the country. It is a convenient software that is reliable and easy to use. ExpressVPN creates opportunities for flexibility and accessibility. Therefore, it is trustworthy, preforms its services well, and it still lives up to its reputatio up until now.

Cons

ExpressVPN's services are not cheap and is costly among other VPN's out there. Also, the software only contains a few access to settings, configurations and options. It also has limited approach for customer service as ExpressVPN only receives complaints or inquiries through email or chat.

### "Express VPN"

October 28, 2020

5.0

My overall experience is that despite it being so reasonably priced, it has helped my a lot with my work, especially when it comes to websites I want to go, but due to my country's restrictions, it has allowed my to bypass that in order for me to continue working and accessing more info if I need it.

Pros

I've been using this software on my laptop and smart phone, and I must say this software has really changed my life. from its easy to use functionality to its quick and easy deployment. For year's now, I've been looking for an inexpensive VPN for my laptop, and now I have. unlike most VPN's, Express VPN doesn't bombard you with a lot of questions before you use it, which I must say is fantastic.

Cons

One thing about it is that I wish it was a little more secure, there are times where pop up AD's appear even though I turned on the AD Block function.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing ExpressVPN

Express VPN'S price was very reasonable. Some Softwares may be a lot more expensive, but fail when it comes to the services.

### "Perfect VPN for personal and professional use."

August 17, 2021

4.0

Overall I will recommend this VPN to anyone who is looking for a secure and fast connection for their personal and professional use. The VPN doesn't save any logs and gives complete privacy.

Pros

The installation process is very simple and the interface is very smooth. We get a very good speed with this VPN. There are many servers we can choose to mask the IP and it unblocks almost all content or websites easily across any country. The advanced security is good and the customer support is very active and helpful.

Cons

The application is too expensive even when compared with other competitors. There will be forced disconnections and sudden speed drops too often which is a major drawback as it results in download/upload failures. The overall speed is good but can be improved when compared with other paid VPN out there.

### "Easy to use and effective software to protect your identity"

April 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

ExpressVPN is as simple to use as anything on the market. It's large "power" button interface and it's automatic disconnect feature that cuts off your internet connection if the VPN loses connectivity make it simple for people with no networking or VPN experience previously. It effectively protects your IP address and identity at a time when that kind of private information is bought and sold through online companies for advertising and other purposes. It is also useful in viewing content that is regional specific or logging into work networks that require a local IP address as you can select what region you want to be in. It takes the complexity out of a relatively complex approach to online interactions. Even the simple included Speed Test is a nice touch for making sure your VPN is an optimal distance from your actual location.

Cons

The only drawback is the price. There are other, cheaper options available if you know a little about VPN's already. However, I would add that this is still the most intuitive and practical interface available. So in my opinion it is worth a few extra dollars.

### "Best and Fastest VPN on Mobile and Desktop"

November 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

You can't go wrong with the ExpresVPN quality, the speed and security are very reliable that it even connects on low networks. It allows users to choose their preferred network connection protocol and there is no IP leak (even webRTC), it takes care of everything automatically.

Cons

Shutting down or Sleeping a PC can cause a big disturbing issue if you are connected to an ExpressVPN location and have network lock on. It doesn't disable network lock automatically, you have to do it manually and it might not be easy.

### "The most reliable VPN"

October 11, 2023

5.0

Very easy to use and simple dashboard to operate across all devices.

Pros

Ease of use across all of my devices allowing access without the need to keep logging in by using the App on mobile devices.

Cons

There are limited choices of locations within countries to connect to. Greater choice would help in connecting quickly.

### "Fast and Reliable VPN but at a cost"

October 13, 2023

5.0

Pros

This is one of the best, if not the best VPN out there. It does not affect your internet speed and you would not even notice a difference between being connected to the VPN and not. With a strict no-logs policy they have, it is one the most secure VPN and I could not recommend it more.

Cons

It is very expensive compared to other quality VPNs but it provides you your value for such high price.

### "Essential for Multinational Organizations!"

August 25, 2019

5.0

My overall experience with ExpressVPN has been pretty solid thus far and I believe that this is the service that I will continue to be using for a while for my VPN needs. I would reccomend for others to give this a try if they require such a service.

Pros

ExpressVPN is a great tool for any organization that has operations in multiple countries. As a nonprofit organization that operates programs in multiple African countries, a lot of traveling happens throughout different countries. As a result, we must rely on ExpressVPN to continuously be able to use services and websites that we rely on despite wherever we may be. What I really like about ExpressVPN is how we can choose what country we want to be set in so that we can continuously get reliable VPN service.

Cons

What I liked the least about ExpressVPN is that sometimes it can be unreliable and during these times, I turn to free alternatives that sometimes work better. I think that for a service that charges a pretty high subscription fee, ExpressVPN does need to improve its service for some locations so that it can be more reliable for users. In addition, it can also take a long time to connect to a VPN at times.

### "Great Solution / Exceptional Customer Support"

March 3, 2024

5.0

Apart from a seriously good App/Solution the guys/girls at ExpressVPN have an incredibly good customer service in place! Each time you contact them via chat or customer support system they get onto it and immediately get either an action or solution in place. In case of actions they do (unlike many other companies) keep sending updates. I wish every company was as customer focussed as ExpressVPN!

Pros

Ease of use and exceptional customer support

Cons

It is not (anymore / yet) working for live views of the Formula 1 races in 2024 via ServusTV. Guys are working on it though.

### "It does its job well"

October 17, 2019

5.0

Overall it is a great application that does basically one thing. Hide your IP. It doesn't need to do anything else.

Pros

Basically it is what it is. A VPN application that you can use to hide your IP as you are browsing the internet and it does its job so well without any issues whatsoever. It is basically great.

Cons

If you do not update it you might face some issues with your application. I have faced issues with half of the app was black.

### "Protect Your Online Privacy with ExpressVPN"

January 31, 2023

5.0

Pros

As a freelance content writer, I work from various locations, and ExpressVPN has been a lifesaver. It allows me to securely access my client's websites and content, no matter where I am. The connection speed is fast, and I've never had any issues with connectivity. I also appreciate the 24/7 customer support, which is always helpful in case of any issues. I highly recommend ExpressVPN for anyone looking for a reliable and secure VPN service.

Cons

Nothing to report as of now. This app is amazing!

### "This is the one "

February 5, 2019

5.0

I've had nothing but positive experiences with ExpressVPN - would not do without it.

Pros

I tried a couple of VPN providers but Hulu and Netflix were outwitting them. Discovered ExpressVPN on a search for a solution. Wow it is great. Easy to configure and run (I have tablets, laptops and Apple TV). Great online support when I stumbled. Highly recommended.

Cons

Well cost is always a downer, but this is reasonable value.

### "The Best Vpn"

May 5, 2020

5.0

I like Express Vpn, and I will recommend my friends and relatives who seeks vpn services to use it.

Pros

This Vpn is the best one, I have tested it on many websites and no website discovered my real country using this vpn, don't doubt to subscribe to express vpn you will what you paid for, i have used many paid alternatives and this vpn really amazed me even it's doesn't affect internet connection speed .

Cons

The subscription cost is relatively high, and there's no trial plan to test their service, I suggest the monthly paid plan should cost maximum 3$ for the first month at least and then make the customer pay the normal price after this month ends.

### "ExpressVPN - Easy VPN Solution"

December 13, 2018

3.0

Pros

ExpressVpn is an easy to use VPN service. It is relatively cheap, and supports multiple platforms. Its servers are mostly not blacklisted, and provide almost complete protection. Each subscription supports up to three cross-platform simultaneous connections and multiple subscriptions can be purchased per account for connection of more devices. They have one of the best online customer support services, and various payment methods, ranging from credit and debit cards to bitcoin.

Cons

3 devices is a bit too few for the price of a single subscription, 5 devices being the norm for most VPN providers. Also, even with VPN connected some sites which are location specific still don't load even when that location is connected to.

### "Fast And Reliable VPN"

May 15, 2021

5.0

Overall ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there. It protects your identity and at the same time gives you a fast and reliable connection.

Pros

I love the number of locations ExpressVPN provides. You can connect to an endpoint at anywhere around the world and it gives you a fast connection.

Cons

It seems like all VPNs just got blocked by Netflix. I wish there was a way around that but that's not ExpressVPN's fault.

### "Online Anonymity "

December 5, 2020

5.0

I am glad I started using this VPN. I have noticed that I get less pop up ads and less email spam. I just wanted to use the internet without being constantly reminded that I was being watched and ExpressVPN has let me accomplish that.

Pros

Convenient install and set up. ExpressVPN's UI is simple to use. Multiple available VPN locations to choose from ensures local traffic will not effect speed.

Cons

Not a con just an observation. Connecting to available ExpressVPN locations is quick requiring only a few seconds, but sometimes disconnecting can take up to a minute. I would think if anything it would be the reverse. Not a big deal.

Alternatives considered

[NordVPN](https://www.capterra.com/p/166743/NordVPN/)

Reason for choosing ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN's consistent speed outpaced NordVPN's offerings. Speed matters and ExpressVPN offered a better solution.

This vpn service has given me a real sense of security and was easy to get going.

Pros

I was able to get the vpn on all my devices in a matter of minutes. I was really impressed by the chat help when we tried to get it on a router.

Cons

Sometimes on my phone the vpn blocks calling out. But I only have to restart the app and it works fine.

April 19, 2019

5.0

Helps me hide my IP addresses due to the nature of my work. My anonymity is very important and thanks to Express VPN.

Pros

I constantly need VPN to hide my IP address due to the nature of my work, and Express VPN has been up to the task. I have used some other VPN services in the past, but this is by far the best for me. Anonymity is very high and consistent as well.

Cons

I think the price is a bit high, my personal opinion though. And I would love to have a lifetime access deal sometime in the future.

July 10, 2021

5.0

Overall, my user experience and the money I pay are commensurate though. However, I still hope the fee can be lower.

Pros

The severs of ExpressVPN are stable, so I can continuously connect via more than 90 countries around the world. I could not watch many online movies before I started using this VPN (Free VPN service is not stable and slow). This VPN is also compatible to Netflix and Roku. Also, their network can keep my identity secure. I also like the customer support who can answer my questions quickly.

Cons

Comparing to other VPN services, I would hope the price of ExpressVPN's service can be lower. Overall, this is a good VPN besides price.
