What do you like best about Windscribe?

It has a great selection of servers to connect to and actually works. The pricing model is also great for larger teams and the admin can easily manage user accounts on the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

The support can be tighter. It takes them quite a while to get back to us when we need support (a user doesn't work, there are downtimes, etc.). There should be online support as a business depends on connections in this remote work age. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us unify our company location in a remote setting. We need fast, secure connections to ensure our team can perform at their best away from the office, and Windscribe delivers perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windscribe?

I have been using Windscribe for the last two years, and it's one of the best VPNs available on the web that includes a free plan (offering 10 GBs of data every month). The speed is good, and it opens the door to blocked websites. The most beautiful part about Windscribe is that it takes no time to connect with the servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

I'm happy with the overall performance of Windscribe as compared to other VPN services. Though there is nothing to dislike about the product, I wish if they could add some extra data in the free plan and provide access to a few more servers (locations) as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Windscribe lets me connect to the internet securely and anonymously, it offers encryption and provides access to tons of streaming websites. I can easily connect with my ftp server without worrying about data breaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windscribe?

First of all, it is free. And the free tier limit is enough for testing. It is easy to use and working stable. You can pick one of the many available countries from the list. It supports many platforms that you can use across all of your devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

Price a bit high, and there must be more countries to pick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Windscribe:

If you need a stable and trustable VPN solution, I recommend you use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windscribe?

Windscribe has been a great access point for me to start utilizing the features that a VPN can provide. The ability to switch between multiple servers across the US (and around the world) makes a rich feature set, especially as somebody who is not that familiar with the intricacies behind the scenes. It's also a huge perk to be able to use this service on all my devices (laptop, desktop, phone, tablet). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

Windscribe does not offer router-level VPN protection. However, this is not a huge ding against it – very few VPNs offer this level of support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to protect my data security regardless of where I'm working from. I am confident that using Windscribe allows me to safely protect my data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windscribe?

Love the VPN. The overall security for your system with readily available servers as per your liking. I purchased the US region subscription for two dollars and I have never experienced a connection drop. I also wanted to venture into drop shipping so visiting websites is a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

The connection button can be a little troublesome some times requiring manual input for connection. It might be the incompetence of my system but I think it can be fixed easily. I face a problem every time I turn on my laptop and connect it to the router. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Windscribe:

Use it if your budget is constrained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Region blocked content is a real trouble maker which is why I opted for the subscription. The VPN also utilizes my connection speed to the fullest despite the throttling placed by my ISP. Earlier I faced issues while downloading the updates for visual studio and other Microsoft programs that are connection intensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windscribe?

This is one of the most generous VPN app I have come across since it's inception. I have been a user for over two years and the app has always given me reasons to stay in touch. It works great for me with excellent bandwidth. The developers are unarguably topnotch. This is evident in the beautiful UI design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

My reservations are quite few.

I noticed that the free trial is only for particular servers.

There is not much difference between the premium package and the free package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Windscribe:

If you need an excellent VPN app, I highly recommend Winsdcribe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Winsdcribe always gives me a 100% privacy protection guarantee when I'm using it. I usually feel safe with this app and it has greatly impacted my business positively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windscribe?

Windscribe is a very practical and easy-to-use VPN, with an acceptable variety of countries available for quick connection, in addition to having an excellent ad blocker that makes it even more interesting. It is very beneficial to encrypt our IP address to be able to browse the web safely and without worries, Windscribe takes care of keeping us anonymous and protecting our information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

I can notice that the connection becomes slow when the VPN connection is activated and hinders the processes that are intended to be carried out. Additionally, it should add a greater variety of servers to connect to and increase the amount of megabytes to browse monthly for free, as they tend to be used up even in a single day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Windscribe:

Recommended, Windscribe is accessible and meets all the necessary requirements for anonymous browsing. It is worth the investment in its paid version since the trial version is very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windscribe solving and how is that benefiting you?

The use of a VPN is essential to protect our IP and personal data when browsing the internet in the company, therefore Windscribe has become indispensable in everyday use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windscribe?

Winscribe is used in our organization as firewalls and VPN servers and we use it in the main Internet connections since the cost of windscribe is significantly lower. The SSL client-server VPN is used as a client part on PC and Mac computers. Windscribe subscription services are used for webasi filtering protecting the security of our company files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windscribe?

Something that I would like to improve is that they almost don't have many servers even in popular locations like the United States. Maybe they could offer more servers and different locations and provide users with more location options like other VPN service providers do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Windscribe:

Due to the daily use of information an integral protection was necessary, with that the vpn system has been perfect without any failure with the theft or loss of data or information, it is for that reason that I am happy with the services offered and I recommend it to users so they can try and see their tools.
