IPSec is a suite of protocols, which are implemented by various vendors, in varying degrees of quality. When you said you tried IPSec, what do you mean by that?
I'd also like to know what your issues were with OpenVPN, as it's something I'd like to try at some point myself. Anyway, check out the offerings from Watchguard or SonicWall, I suppose. However, they will most likely be implemented in IPSec. I've used much older stuff from WG - their FB IIIs worked quite well, but they are long past EOL, so we moved on to Sidewinders for reasons other than their VPN technology.
