If you need to check them for malware, up to date anti-virus, etc., you
cannot use Check Point. The Integrity Clientless Security component is only
implemented via an ActiveX.
I've used both Connectra R60 - R62 and Juniper's SA 2000 product. The
Juniper box supports a lot more third party security product checking
(firewalls, AV, etc.) and also has a built-in "WebEx" type of meeting
capability. It also has a cache cleaner to automatically delete files
deposited on the client during the session. (your licensing may vary)
If you don't care about checking the clients before they connect, Connectra
is the better product as compared to SNX. And it's licensed for concurrent
users, so you don't need near as many licenses. If you're going to allow
Windows computers, there is no way I'd allow it without checking them first.
I've seen too many failures where Connectra's ICS flunked them big time.

Subject: [FW-1] Trying to decide between the SSL Extender and Connectra VPN
over SSL solutions
Date: Wed, 30 May 2007 21:23:00 -0500
Hi Guru's
l think l understand the basics of the 2 products, but l'd like any actual
users for their opinions of these products.
We have a number of Linux and Mac (all OS variants) users, as well as users
who wish to access our services from various remote machines, and we'd like
to be able to accommodate them via VPN over SSL.
Many services will be accessed via a web browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and
older Mac browsers), but our more technical users will require SSH, FTP and
other non web broswer based access.
Which would you recommend and why? Are other VPN over SSL products
superior?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Alan
