Pros
Pro Comprehensive

Cons
Con Limited details available on the site itself
AlternativeTo excels at showing you options, however it doesn't really tell you why one option is better/worse than another. It lists options by the number of likes it has received, but to directly compare the options is relatively hard to do.
Con VPNs are not for privacy
Anyone telling you otherwise is either incompetent or lying.
Con Only focuses on VPN and Email services
Con Not a lot of actual reviews
The site owner seems to review on the basis of random choice - the reasoning behind that can be understood, but there are some clear contenders that the community wishes they would just hurry up and review, instead of slogging through tons of random options.
