	December 8, 2006 The Forrester Wave™: SSL VPN Appliances, Q4 2006 Juniper Networks Leads The Pack, But Aventail And Citrix Are Closing In by Robert Whiteley with Simon Yates, Christine E. Atwood

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Forrester evaluated leading SSL VPN appliance vendors across 57 criteria and found that Juniper Networks maintains its SSL VPN leadership thanks to its superior reverse proxy technology and focus on secure mobility. Aventail trails close behind with its fully integrated endpoint security and similar strength in mobile device access. Citrix Systems and Microsoft also provide leading technology that focuses on access and acceleration for corporate apps. Caymas Systems rounds out the Leaders with an innovative approach of combining remote and local network access control. F5 Networks, Cisco Systems, and Nortel Networks are all Strong Performers and round out the evaluation. Further integration of F5's technology into its application switch should nudge it into the Leaders category. Cisco and Nortel — with less application-oriented strategies — remain solid alternatives for firms that simply want to offer IPsec and SSL termination in a single appliance.
