That's not entirely true. It depends on what you are trying to achieve =
with your portal solution.
MSAM is just as stable as Web Interface and just as easy to setup and =
maintain.
I do how ever concur that there are better solutions out there for less =
money. The most elegant one is from Novell (Novell Portal services) it =
does everything that MSAM does but also includes things like workflow =
management.=20
But if youre already a Citrix shop and and am wanting to extend the =
capabilities with your citrix farm, and have no in house developer =
skills then MSAM is probably the easiest and less complex solution.

Hi,
Unless you are planning to use SAM portal functionality, CSG with former =
"NFuse" is a more stable, scalable and secure solution for MetaFrame =
access.
It is true that "out of the box" capabilities that SAM offers are=20
interesting, new software development kits/tools that target .NET or =
JAVA=20
deployments provide inexpensive way to manage and maintain elaborate =
portals=20
with NO per user/connection fee related to the portal itself. As =
example, my=20
organization is discontinuing PlumTree in favor of in-house portal=20
technology. And, as you know, PlumTree (www.plumtree.com) was on a =
high-end=20
as compared to SAM.
One thing to consider is combining free portals like PostNuke=20
(http://www.postnuke.com) with NFuse (I know, they do not call it NFuse=20
anymore ;) and CSG.
