Our use case is simple, we don't want ANY application in our company to consume more WAN bandwidth than is absolutely needed. Of course we're using compression like in rsync where it's possible, but that's not possible everywhere and with every application. So we also try to catch those cases by using compression over the VPN links. In case there is no compressible data, it doesn't hurt much, but it can help a lot with compressible data. That's the only reason why OpenVPN was better for us.
