Secure Access Manager is not a requirement for CSG.  You just need an
existing Citrix infrastructure.  CSG is not really that complicated of a
solution and the latest version has all the GUI diagnostic utilities that
earlier versions lacked.   The CSG is now supported on the same machine as
the Web Interface (WI) and the Secure Ticket Authority can reside on any
machine in the internal network.  The CSG/WI box does not need to be a
workhorse so equipment that you are retiring from other uses would likely be
a viable option.  Beyond an ICA client ( 6.3 (Intel/Win) or greater that
your clients probably already have...)  there is nothing needed on the
client machine.  And now to the best part.... CSG costs you nothing...  It's
FREE.

Steve,
 
Thank you for the feedback.  What, in your opinion makes CSG a better
option?  It seems that the complexity of the setup and the licensing costs
of  Secure Access Manager make CSG a hard sell compared to the seemingly
simplistic setup and management of the Netilla solution.
 
I'm just confused about what will be the best solution now and in the future
(with future releases of Presentation Server).
 
One thing I really need is a solution that will require the least amount of
client setup and support.
 
Regards,
Rob

Netilla is a great standalone platform if you are using Terminal Server,
internal Web apps or needs an SSL VPN. However, if you already have Citrix,
Citrix Secure Gateway is a better match.

Greetings,
 
I'm writing to see if anyone has experience with the Netilla SSL VPN
appliance in accessing Citrix publications from the internet.  Please let me
know what your opinions are on this product.  Any information will be
greatly appreciated.
