Absolutely. Citrix Access Gateway is a far more versatile and cheaper solution. IBM is a very large Aventail customer. All employees use it when working from home, customers site, etc. I have no complaints. VPN over SSL is a great solution. However, do yourself a favor and engage Citrix to do a demo of their product. You won't be disappointed.

I think Aventail is a direct competitor to the Citrix Access Gateway, although the Aventail kit used to be a managed service with a monthly fee. I would look into the CAG stuff too if you are doing demos/evaluations.

Of course I hear of it last minute and they want to know how it will (or will not) work with my current published applications and Web Interface\NFuse. Anyone looked at deploying and are there any things to look out for? Thanks! ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor: triCerat Inc. You need Day Zero Protection!
