Hello,
I didn't understand your question, do you ask what are the vpn services available on Linux or as you title says : what do compagnies and universities use (and then your thread is more like a survey) ?
My university use Microsoft vpn pptp mppe (unfortunately, we need to patch and taint the kernel for that and afaik there aren't patches for the last kernels).
