No they are not, see for yourself:

http://www.open.com.au/ordering.html

If you want to limit yourself to 2 servers (vs. unlimited for
freeradius) OK, you can knock the price down. Let's compare apples to
apples.

I tried to get a demo from them but their sales group was less than
enthusiastic. After getting grilled via email they determined it was
not really what I wanted for 2 RAS and 11 AP's and I did not get the
demo. When pressed they said "I guess we can let you have a demo if you
really want one." Jeeze, all that for a lousy download. I declined.

They don't even have a demo of radmin or even a friggin screen shot or
two. Strange company.

But, glad to hear you have good support from them.
