I can't speak for anybody but us, but we've used it for a while. I can say
now that they had numerous security issues in their implementation, and I
spent time talking to them about it to get it fixed, which they did
reasonably quickly.

It left me keenly aware that any time I deal with a vendor rolling their
own code I should assume it's broken and insist on auditing it.

That appears to be much more extensive than when I used it, so I can't say
what it all says at this point.
