    Open Source
    FreeRADIUS is completely scalable and supports both large and small user databases. Because it doesn't take up a lot of server resources, FreeRADIUS is well-suited for organizations with small budgets (it's in the name!) and limited networking hardware. While there is a port of it for Windows, FreeRADIUS is native to Linux so that would be a limitation for many companies who don't use it.

    Transmit Security
    Transmit Security hides nicely in the taskbar until needed. It works behind the scenes. It is seamlessly integrated into the Macs functionality. Transmit Security has helped us keep our systems secure while helping make our job easier all round. We would not change it for anything else now. It is our go-to FTP client.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • FreeRADIUS requires a 3rd party interface to make it easier to access (we use Daloradius) - it would nice if it was built in.
    • Installation and configuration are pretty easy and straightforward but does require connecting to a database which can be cumbersome.

    Transmit Security
    • Updates were not happening as often, but that could be because they were not needed.
    • Some settings were being lost and had to be re-entered, but that has since been resolved.
    • Interface has improved tremendously since first it launched.

    Transmit Security
    It has seldom been we needed any support with Transmit Security, but when we did, they were on it. We got help in minutes rather than hours or days like other suppliers in this marketplace. Indeed, their support convinced us in the beginning that we had made the right decision.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • We previously used Microsoft Network Policy Server for our RADIUS authentication which works ok but was pretty clunky and requires Windows Server. Switching to FreeRADIUS brought our cost down to zero.
    • Because FreeRADIUS works natively in Linux it's easy to setup and works with all distros.
    • FreeRADIUS allows us to have user authentication for wifi which is much more secure than a simple shared password solution.
