Overall Satisfaction with NordVPN

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's very useful for website QA as it dynamically updates based on the geolocation of the user. I really like to Chrome extension as it allows me to promptly switch between different locations as we perform our testing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Fast connection
Available as a phone app, Chrome extension, etc.
Ability to select a particular city of the server

Cons

Pop ups as I try to connect to a server can be annoying

Return on Investment

Reduce bugs with the ability to perform QA across various locations
Present the client with detailed location-based research
Able to handle 50% more clients that I otherwise wouldn't due to my geolocation

Usability

I use it every single day. For business use as well personal use. It's very easy and intuitive to use. I can connect to a chosen server with very few clicks.

Alternatives Considered

Surfshark

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.
