### "ExpressVPN"

July 19, 2019

5.0

My experience with it is very good. Not faced any problem, and even if there was any it got resolved in few minutes.

Pros

This is best Application by far that i have used. Its actually a blessing for people like me. Its is so easy to use and the connectivity is amazingly strong from all the location. However, the best thing about it is its customer support system. I have not yet come across any customer support system as quick, friendly and active as this one.

Cons

Nothing as of now, i am very impressed by this Application

### "Works in China"

July 27, 2020

5.0

ExpressVPN is well-maintained and its users are actively supported by both the development and the support teams. Pre-COVID, I travelled extensively and often in China.. my work apps and files are all based around Google tech.. ExpressVPN makes sure I can access whatever I need, whenever I need it.

Pros

The uptime and speeds when being used in China are fantastic. Both the mobile (phone/ipad) and desktop apps connect quickly and effortlessly, most of the time. Connection problems are usually NOT related to the app itself.

Cons

Sometimes it can be difficult to find a server to connect to. But this isn't necessarily the APP's problem.

### "ExpressVPN is a very fast VPN application with excellent privacy policies"

May 21, 2020

4.0

We use ExpressVPN to test the loading speed of some software web services across different locations. In addition, it is an excellent application to connect safely and navigate in locations with restrictions by country.

Pros

I like ExpressVPN because it has applications for different operating systems, which allows me to implement it on different computers in the organization. It has an easy to use graphical interface, which allows a connection in a few steps. Another feature that I like is the wide variety of servers it has. Also, it has the most reliable security protocols in existence today.

Cons

The only thing that I dislike is that some locations are congested with the large number of users and therefore they are very slow.

Pros

ExpressVPN is one of the best VPN in the market. Your connection didn't get slow when you using ExpressVPN.

Cons

### "Very good"

May 5, 2020

5.0

For me it is the best VPN software actual that work and that is pretty fast.

Pros

Easy to use and to understand. It is working with all the other software and apps I use daily. It is very efficient and does what we ask it to do.

Cons

Easy to use but it could be even more easy I think, even more through the app. Sometimes you get some bug.

### "Most popular VPN tool on the market for a reason"

March 25, 2020

5.0

ExpressVPN has made working VPNs a sinch. One of the great things has been anytime a disconnect happens your traffic is masked until you reconnect.

Pros

ExpressVPN is the best tool on the market currently for a reason. With the uptime and high dependability of the servers, and quality of their connected apps there isn't a reason to pick a different provider.

Cons

ExpressVPN is the best tool on the market period. Because of that they can ask a higher price than all of the competitors and it is worth it.

### "ExpressVPN - a very useful software for the people who appreciate its value"

October 1, 2019

4.0

ExpressVPN fundamentally has a very limited use case that's noticeable for most people. Unless you have domain restrictions on your internet or you want access to content that's not native to your country, you're likely getting this for "security." It's a bit expensive for my tastes considering I don't exactly have any of the above use cases occurring regularly.

Pros

It's incredibly easy to spin up and use expressVPN and it works like a charm. The VPN experience is pretty seamless and works pretty much anywhere I go. When traveling internationally, it's incredibly reliable as well.

Cons

It seems expensive for the amount I use it. I never really have any restricted domains at work or personally, so that use case isn't very meaningful to me. I sometimes use it to access content not native to the US but that's few and far between. I ultimately probably wouldn't pay the ~100/year fee if I didn't get an initial discount.

### "Trustable VPN"

November 15, 2019

5.0

I have used ExpressVPN daily as VPN tool to hide my IP from straight marketing.

Pros

I like that it is really easy to implement the usage of ExpressVPN, it gives good statistics about data usage, consists of multiple products, changes IP which obviously is the reason to choose this product.

Cons

Nothing really to dislike, always pricing should be better but overall it is a great product if you are interested to not show your real location and be more anonymous online.

### "ExpressVPN from Gamer's ( and QA Tester's ) perspective"

December 18, 2020

4.0

There are some things which require further development, like the Security as it is field which is evolving every day, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone out there looking for some good VPN.

Pros

I like how fast and secure it is to connect, even to the servers who are far away from my location and all of that, without any negative impact on my gaming experience as well. During some of my QA Test, I had to use servers from different countries and ExpressVPN shined in that field as well and I was able to deliver the best service as result. Also, I really appreciate some of the options which ExpressVPN is providing me with, like the Network Lock, which additionally secures my IP and traffic, even in case my connection drops. Additionally, this feature is even enabled from the start in the application for instance, which is really good ( especially for new users, unaware of this feature ).

Cons

I don't have any negative words about ExpressVPN, but it would be nice for instance, if it would come with some integrated Adblocker, which would further enhance overall user experience.

### "I would have chosen another VPN"

August 7, 2019

3.0

It was ok but it did not solve my specific needs. Now, I dont use it because I came back to my country and I dont need a VPN. But in the future, if I need one, I'm sure that I would research more.

Pros

It's easy to associate. You only go to the website and complete a form with your personal and credit card information. And then it's automatic. It's easy to cancel the membership, too. I used it when I was living abroad, and when I have to come back to my country I only finished it. It's a very understandable App. U only have to choose the country u want and then press the "connect" button.

Cons

The worst part was that I could not use Netflix when the VPN was on. And I paid it because my first needed was to see the Netflix of my country (Netflix is really different by country). I read in internet (opinions) that there are other VPNs with which Netflix could be seen.

### "Reliable, affordable, and fastest services."

August 10, 2022

5.0

I was looking for a fast and secure VPN provider to unblock geo-restricted content and websites and I found this. ExpressVPN is a fast, ultra-secure VPN that will let me browse the web freely and privately. The VPN service has apps for all devices and operating systems and allows us to stream everything from Netflix to our favorite shows.

Pros

I've been using ExpressVPN for years because it's reliable, affordable, and most of all it's fast. I travel a lot for work and love that ExpressVPN gives me access to my Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime accounts when I'm abroad. I highly recommend it for those professionals who want to protect their online information and get around geo-restrictions.

Cons

The easiest way to unlock content online. Access geo-restricted websites, banned sites, blocked content, and more with ExpressVPN.

### "Super fast torrenting VPN"

February 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

Just like the title says, super fast for torrenting over VPN. Ideal if you do this a lot, which i definitely do.

Cons

They do keep SOME logs, but they're kept in the British Virgin Islands. The only other con I can think of is that it's more expensive than some of the other options.

### "You get what you pay for."

January 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that you can flash your router with this software and not have to worry about it anymore. Additionally, if, for some reason, the vpn goes down, no traffic goes through at all. You are forced to log into the system to correct the issue - all the time your traffic is secured. If you set up the software through your router, everything is protected without worry of going over the number of active connections.

Cons

The cost is higher than other options although not as efficient as ExpressVPN. Further, you do lose quite a bit of bandwidth using this VPN. Connecting through the VPN yields a speed of ~50Mbps vs ~230Mbps without a vpn on the same network.

### "Express VPN for travelling abroad"

April 9, 2021

5.0

Very good. Connections to channels abroad, especially BBC Iplayer which is notoriously hard to connect to and Prime were good even from China & Mexico. I also felt safe paying my staff whilst away.

Pros

I can access all the UK & Dutch channels as it keeps my banking details safe when travelling abroad. I per whenever I need it when travelling so doesn't cost me a lot.

Cons

No dislikes. It did disconnect occasionally but easily reconnected. I found it slowed down my phone quite a bit and didn't allow access to certain sites ( it worked fine when disconnected) which is a bonus abroad but a bit of a pain when at home.

### "the best VPN solution i've ever used "

November 7, 2021

5.0

since i started using it my life become much more easier, the solution much more accurate than the competitors, great value for money

Pros

Very ease to use, just download and use. Lot's of countries with stable IP address to apply tests and decent bandwidth

Cons

would be brilliant if they will have the option to choose country and city, on some cases this is a showstopper in terms of development and we have to use other solutions.

Reason for choosing ExpressVPN

heard from other friends in industry and after the free trail, it 's answer all of our needs

Switched from

[HMA](https://www.capterra.com/p/170769/HideMyAss/)

the solution was unstable, very thin bandwidth. didn't fit our need in terms of accurate, you can choose Italy IP but instead you other European country

### "Dependable, flexible for anything up to enterprise-grade needs"

October 29, 2019

4.0

We have a client for whom any high-bandwidth connections were getting choked by our Mexico-based ISP. Since bandwidth meant lost-money, this was a problem. The solution was to VPN to a location physically close to the client; however, not all VPNs are made equal. After getting weak throughput from another VPN service, ExpressVPN was recommended. The free trial sustained the necessary bandwidth, as well as giving us the flexibility to deploy the desktop client (send all traffic from a single PC through VPN), as well a policy-route at the router level (send only traffic destined for a specific address through the VPN).

Pros

Fast (enough) throughput Available both for router-level configuration AND as an app Easy to use

Cons

My router tells me that the OpenVPN parameters (supplied by ExpressVPN) are less than ideal Not overly flexible to enterprise-level configurations Router-level config for DD-WRT doesn't allow dynamic server selection (not a big deal, but it would be nice)

Alternatives considered

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

Reason for choosing ExpressVPN

I'd already had trouble with NordVPN, and StrongVPN did not deliver the necessary throughput.

### "Very good VPN service"

July 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

Efficiency satisfies my expectations. Exceptional upload and download time, low latency and strong streaming. You have more than a hundred servers striving to keep your Netflix film a smooth experience. And you can link approximately 3 gadgets in one account.

Cons

I do not actually like the support - client action time. Client assistance isn't really easily offered. Be patience and you'll be served.

### "ExpressVPN Review"

November 28, 2022

5.0

We use it to verify doctor's licenses because often times these verification sites will kick you off after a while. ExpressVPN allows us to keep verifying candidates for our system they've submitted themselves to.

Pros

It's quick and easy to login into. Activating the VPN is as easy as a click. It's simple to use and always works.

Cons

No real complaints, it's easy to use and has not failed me yet.

### "Amazing software!"

May 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

My husband introduced me to this software. It is great as it is very secure and provides a very strong encryption to ensure your privacy needs are met. Also, it allows for multiple users on an account so this is very convenient for our family. The best part is that it unblocks Netflix in the US!

Cons

Has some minor connection issues at times, but not enough to deter me from using this everyday.

### "A bit pricey, but powerful"

October 6, 2020

5.0

ExpressVPN is powerful and full-featured in every respect, but you don't necessarily need everything it offers -- and can pay a little bit less per month for other options that will still work great.

Pros

ExpressVPN has tons of servers, fast speeds, unblocks all the major streaming services, and is one of the few VPNs that will work in China and allow you to bypass government censorship there! It also has a no questions asked refund policy so you don't need to give a reason if you cancel within 30 days.

Cons

Despite being an excellent product, it's a little but pricier than other options. Not terribly so, and totally worth it if you need a VPN in China! But for most users, slightly less expensive but similarly powerful options will do the trick for a slightly lower monthly price.

September 16, 2022

Pros

ExpressVPN is exceptionally fast and secure as well. It covers every country around the globe and that's something we can find rarely in VPN softwares. It also offers streaming connection which works really well.
