List of OSC customersPublic comments and ratings on Freshmeat.netMore quotes from some of our Radiator customersThese were all unsolicited comments gleaned from email and mailing lists. These are all real people with real authentication problems solved by Radiator. "Radiator is a wonderful product and the setup process was almost
too easy. The configuration options are clear, flexible and powerful.
Just wanted to drop you a note that it's one of the most powerful yet
easy to configure RADIUS servers I have ever encountered. All the support
files (/goodies) and script tools are complete and easy to use. Overall
I had a wonderful experience with your product." "Radiator #1 - Bar none. Radiator is always my first and only
recommendation when a Radius server is required. Simply the best solution
available, and, I dare say, possible." "I just want to add that I am a huge fan of Radiator - I have
never been able to find anything that I cant do with it and the support
you provide everyone on the mailing list with is exceptional. We replaced
our previous (very expensive) Radius product on our 10 Radius servers
with Radiator a couple of years ago and we have never looked back. In
short, I believe Radiator is the best Radius server on the market !" "In advance, I'm sorry if this sounds like a commercial for the
Radiator radius server. We use the aforementioned super amazing spectacular
great... Product. I've never found something it couldn't do." "Radiator is awesome. There aren't very many other software packages
or companies out there that provide the compatibility with equipment,
unending customisation and the awesome support structure that Radiator
and OSC provide. I want to thank you for producing such a product. It
has benefited my company and my staff immensely." "As I see it Radiator has all that is needed to secure your WLAN!
Radiator is the "Porsche" around the other Radius servers and the price
is fair, that's what I like!" "You're product is great. It's complex but it also outperforms
everything else and I'd much rather have the open source ability to make
changes and modifications to meet our needs/requirements than be locked
into a closed source environment. Microsoft should take notes from you
guys." "I would ask you to extend my compliments to the development
team - I've used (and demonstrated the advantages) of Radiator for years
now, and it's always been the easiest RADIUS server to integrate with
_anything_ (and often the only one that could do what we needed" "Flexibility is the key. No matter what are your RADIUS system
requirements, Radiator does accomplish them all. Join to the fact that
OSC has the best technical support I have ever seen on the net. You have
a superb product. We are proud of distributing Radiator and recommend
it to our customers" "I must thank you guys for an excellent product! Please keep
up the good work" "Love it... My favorite piece of software ever!!! Keep up the
good work" "It is a very powerful and flexible tool. Nice configuration
files examples, nice manual, etc. In conclusion, excellent software." "I am now a fan of Radiator. This can do a lot more than other
solutions we have used." "Great - it worked - the upgrade went smoothly. Thank you all
for making such a superior product in every way. Feel free to use me as
a reference or whatever!" "I like Radiator very much. It is like an example for the world
how a piece of software can be developed. Its licensing is not like Microsoft's
:). Its code is open, clean, stable, very flexible and readable. It's
easy to write your custom hacks'n'hooks :) Its architecture is clear.
It's easy to install. It runs on UNIX. Its documentation is complete for
end user and even for developer. Its distribution is one of the best (no
cdroms, etc). It's very helpful to keep touch with friendly developer
team and with other users (mailing list). It feels very good when customer's
patches are incorporated into the product :) I have a warm feeling like
being a part of the team (oneness) and not feeling like with other products,
where one has to communicate through salesman, etc (separatedness). It's
great to see how quickly customer's suggestions are poured into the code.
I (as an end user) never saw a better software development. I'm completely
satisfied with it, I can do everything with it, even ... 'roast an egg'
:)" I am glad to say that Radiator has never once failed in the three
or four years we have been using it. Your products rocks! Radiator works great with Microsoft SQL servers and Cisco routers.
We tested few other products which did not work. Big thanks to Radiator
from Finland! - I _HIGHLY_ recommend radiator RADIUS. http://www.open.com.au/radiator/
It was the most feature rich package, came with source code, is very portable
between platforms (written in Perl), and has worked flawlessly for us
here. The setup was very simple, and it has one of the most complete and
professionally done manuals I've seen for any package. The tech support
is provided through their mailing list (not that you should even need
it), and answers come very quick from the actual software developer. They
are constantly working on any bug fixes and updates that anyone requests.
After spending months looking, this package was a very pleasant surprise.
And the best part? It was also the cheapest one... around US$600 for a
single CPU license, or US$900 for the site license. I've been very happy
with their product and have no reservations at all about recommending
it to you. I want to take this time to personally thank you guys at OSC. Radiator
by far blows away any other RADIUS server software on the market today.
I've implemented large scale .... RADIUS servers in the past and I can't
believe how much Radiator makes .... look like a worthless piece of junk.
My hats off for creating the most flexible RADIUS server on the market
today. Your support has been great... Keep up the good work! This is my personal opinion and I am sure others will have them as
well but we are using a product called Radiator. It is an excellent radius
server that runs on NT and Unix. The URL is http://www.open.com.au it
interfaces with Platypus extremely well both for serving up radius requests
and also inserting the accounting right in to the platypus database. It
has extremely good flexibility and functionality. I would recommend it
to anyone out there. We have approx. 15,000 active users and both Radiator
and MS SQL loaf with these two products. It is a DREAM! I can't believe how easy it is to do things that used
to take me hours to program. By the way, Radiator is an awesome product! It was a snap to implement
and it has worked very well so far! We have been using Radiator for the last year and half. Our NT based
system constantly requires some sort of attention with the one big exception
- Radiator. Once we got it up and connected it to our SQL database we
have found it runs and runs ... with no problems!! The support has been
great and you can tell Open Systems are seriously dedicated to the customer.
This has been the best software investment we've made!! ...radiator is working as advertised!!! We are extremely happy with
the product. After messing around for 3 years of just about every radius
product on the market, I can finally say we have found a solid solution
in Radiator. I highly recommend this product to every ISP out there. Take a look at Radiator, Mike and Hugh are brilliant guys they helped
me just the other day with this and it will not cost you an arm and a
leg for the software.... It will intergrate directly with Platypus, plus
if you need to something very custom you have the source code so you can
hack it up if you need to do so. I'm not that fantastic at programming
so I'm just using the standard Radiator, however I had a problem with
routing "any call without a matching DNIS" the other day and the guys
at radiator added a feature for me to be able to do that in 2 days and
about 3 emails. If you need any help with Radiator and DNIS I'll help
you on the Radiator mailing list if Mike and Hugh do not get in first.
Radiator grows with you where other Radius servers seem to get stale and
outdated much too quickly. Hi, You might want to look at Radiator (www.open.com.au). It integrates
with plat, and can do just about anything you want ... Medium (600.000 customers ) ISP in Spain. One radiator 0 problems
in 16 months. 0 problems. Several services arquitechted using radiator
facilities. Several ISP's migrated pretty easily. The best radius server,
of course. You just can't beat Radiator. The fact that you can add your own code
to fit your needs makes the product 100 times better than anything else.
As far as I am concerned.... Steel Belted and some others (Like Shiva
Access Manager) don't come close to the potential power of Radiator. I want to state that I've never got such good and fast response from
any software company or group, open or close, that, in fact has less delays
in make repairments than those that I have installing and testing them. As an aside, let me complement you on your clean coding style; it
makes it very easy read or change. That's why (....) we've decided to
go ahead with this product; if I can maintain and modify it quickly and
cheaply, it will pay for itself. We are very happy with the products, and we find it both flexible
and fast. I've been really impressed with Radiator, I've had plenty of sleep
lately and I can't seem to find anything that kills it. It's the swiss army knife of RADIUS servers. ... just want to thank you again for a wonderful product.. I would suggest you test out Radiator for yourself. You'll find that
it is by far the best Radius product out there. Thanks for all the help Mike, we are very impressed with the support
and will happily tell anyone that. Its great to see an Aussie product
in there too. Well done. Your radiator product was the best purchase we have made in a long
time, it has to be the best radius server on the market or in the public
domain. Once again, can I just say how good it is to have an Australian product
that works as well as Radiator, and has the great support that you offer.
PS - Mike, so far I'm REALLY impressed by how well designed radiator
is, and how flexible. Kudos! ... the radius server has passed it's first successful test (24 hours)
and is proving to be a great product and I am extremely pleased to have
purchased it. Radiator is extremely nice, and if you're handy with PERL you can
add things to it and customize it as you see fit. Cistron Radius has also
worked really well for me when purchasing a radius version was out of
the question. But if features are what you want, you'll love Radiator.
It's worth every penny from my experience. You can't go past Radiator and MySQL or mSQL. Radiator is -by far-
the best radiusd -anywhere- -- It's written in perl, can authenticate
off virtually anything, runs on everything, and talks to every terminal
server known to mankind (almost 8-). Thanks again!! Great product, Great support!! Congratulations!!
We use platypus, 3COM TC, and Radiator for radius. I wholeheartedly
recommend it. It will even authenticate out of platypus if you are so
inclined.. Radiator is awesome.. Thank you very much for all the great support you have given me with
Radiator. It has now been active for over 2 months and is proving to be
a real winner. I would like to take this opportunity to say that you have
a great product on offer and hope you have greater success with it in
the future. Excellent! Thanks!! Radiator is an excellent product, and its support
is even better! Congratulations! :-) I still view this as one of the best radius products I have ever seen.
Keep up the good work! :-) Your radiator package seems to be flawless - We have IPASS/GRIC/UUNET
running against it and also our national modempool without a hickup.
A Big thank you to the Radiator team for this great product. We've been using Radiator for our state-wide (Tennessee) dialin network
for the past couple of months now. It seems that there is very little
that Radiator is not capable of. :) We are pleased to announce that we have implemented Radiator on a
new ISP here in Argentina. It was easy and fun to set up. Congratulations,
it's a great product...!!! Radiator is good too. it's commercial, but you get (perl) source code.
very flexible. more features than you can poke a stick at. http://www.open.com.au/radiator/ I have just joined XXXX, I was previously with XXXX where we had over 1 million radius accounts, I can't recall an occasion where Radiator caused us a service outage and it's amazing flexibility allowed us do some neat stuff using CLI but also to work around most of the numbers changing at the same time. It's a credit to your code and documentation that I never really needed
much in the way of email support to do this. |
