    It's very good for QA of applications where geolocation is a variable. Additionally it allows us to access resources only available in certain regions. In terms of market research, it allows us to review ads displayed by competitors in a certain locations.

    • If you are on a budget, this is one heck of a tool for the price (including the ~$200/year for the Pro subscription).
    • If you are OK with maintaining and updating open source tools, this is a great tool.
    • If you are afraid of the Linux command line or live in a Windows-centric world, this might not be the tool for you.
    • If you can't stand things occasionally not working, this is probably not a good fit.

    I loved the NordVPN dedicted IP and p2p and the vast region this tool covers so without doubt this is a greata tool and I would recommand everyone to use it even for personal or proffessional use! This is a must have considering all the security and AI led warfare attacks are going on at the moment!

    It's open source. Your mileage may vary. Sometimes the provided documentation is beyond frustrating, other times it's right on the mark.

    NordVPN has a number of partner companies, e.g. Revolut, N26, etc. which all offer NordVPN as a perk. I use it for that very reason. I haven't seen other products have a such a wide network of partners.

    I haven't used other products that are similar to Observium. Observium is an open tool, with a robust feature set. There are elements of comparable monitoring across other tools, but nothing I've seen that is a complete parallel in terms of feature set and visualizations. If I were asked, I wouldn't have another tool to recommend over Observium.
