Combining the two-subjective observations and objective measurement-is messier, but leads to better and more comprehensive analysis. If we relied entirely upon objective measurements, it would be trivial for a vendor to game the system by inflating particular stats. If we relied only on our hands-on observations, we'd miss the features that make each service unique. To review these products, we consider a VPN's security, performance, and features to produce reviews that are factual and useful to our readers. This is especially true for virtual private networks, or VPNs. At the same time, giving a positive review to a flawed product risks putting people's privacy and even their safety in danger.
Too many security products trade on fear, uncertainty, and doubt among customers and the media.
