We use OpenLDAP because it meets our clients first requirement - it is free. The downside, for LDAP beginners, is that it is not particularly user friendly, meaning that, if you aren't an LDAP expert, and you don't know precisely how your organization needs to be structured, you will do it wrong. Hopefully, by the third redo, you will have it right.
I used to use the Netscape (now Sun ONE) directory server, which was much easier, but is now (post Netscape) frighteningly expensive at about $1.25/user for large, no cash organizations. My client has about 100k users, and budgets about $0.005 per, which allows for a hefty linux box and a small stack of LDAP books. BTW, add me to the list of happy Softerra LDAPBrowser users.
