Aachen, February 2, 2022—The German network and security manufacturer LANCOM Systems has confirmed its top position in this year's “Professional User Rating Security Solutions” by the analyst firm techconsult. For the sixth time in a row, LANCOM received the top user rating in Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions and was once again a clear leader in the field of IT security in Germany's largest user survey.
For this independent study, techconsult surveyed over 2,000 security-solution experts in October 2021 with regard to their satisfaction with solutions on the market and their providers. In both the solution and manufacturer ratings, the users gave LANCOM top marks in every discipline. The company based near Aachen, Germany, received top marks for the performance of its VPN routers, gateways, and clients, as well as their range of functions. In the “Solution Benefits” category, too, users gave top rankings to LANCOM for “Mitigating damage from security incidents”, “Better efficiency working through secure solutions” and “Reducing load on the IT department”.
In the manufacturer ratings, LANCOM achieved the top placing among providers rated in the categories “Sales partners”, “Price and purchasing models”, and also “Service and support”. The company also leads the way in customer satisfaction for the categories “Overall product portfolio” and “Manufacturer loyalty”: Users continue to unreservedly recommend LANCOM VPN solutions and would buy them again at any time.
LANCOM founder and managing director Ralf Koenzen is delighted to have taken the top position once again: “The satisfaction of our users and customers is the ultimate reward and the best motivator for the entire LANCOM team. Today more than ever, network security determines the success of any company. We are proud that our VPN routers, gateways and clients ‘Made in Germany’ make such a strong contribution to a secure and digitally sovereign network infrastructure.”
Raphael Napieralski, analyst at techconsult, adds: “Working from home saw an explosion of growth during the Corona pandemic, which made the secure connection of remote workplaces to company networks the key to business continuity. The fact that LANCOM has won top marks from the users for the sixth time in a row is without a doubt an impressive achievement.”
