That is a fair point, if they gave away the CSG functionality for the price
of the hardware there would be a lot of shops that would be happy to move to
the new platform. These users could then become VPN users in the future-
point well taken.......
 
BTW, the hardsware is $2495 and the licenses are concurrent so I doubt you
would need 3500 licenses!

That's pretty crappy. I'm still paying $3,000 for the appliance, to replace
a Windows server that's running free software. I have 3500 users with access
via the CSG, and obviously, there's no way I'm paying $350,000 to replace
our CSG's. Too bad for Citrix, as they could potentially have gotten a
foothold in our VPN space via the CSG replacement.

Yes it does require licenses. It is a replacement, but not a free
replacement. Once the user connects you can configure whether you give them
a full VPN tunnel, hand off to WI (CSG),  or kiosk mode. Any combination of
these features requires a CAG concurrent license. The good news is that box
performs extremely well, is wel integrated with all the CTX products. The
even better news is that it is a hardened LINUX OS and not Windows
pretending to be a security device!

In addition to being a SSL VPN, the CAG is being positioned as a replacement
for CSG. Does anyone know if the CSG functionality requires a CAG license?
 
Thanks,
