Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Nortel Networks currently lags behind the other eight vendors that we evaluated, but only by a narrow margin. Its strength is in marrying network-based technologies and a well-integrated IPsec and SSL VPN product. Borrowing from its successful Contivity and Alteon products, Nortel has one of the larger portfolios of SSL VPN options with its VPN Gateway series as the flagship appliance. If you're looking for a product to ease end user migration to SSL, then Nortel provides the best option today. If it continues to execute on its strategy, Nortel should close any remaining gaps — like bolstering policy support with better management tools — to move into the Leaders category.
