[c-nsp] A good SSL VPN Solution ?

[Jason Shearer]

Keep in mind that Cisco's AnyConnect solution requires a client to be installed.  It has a pretty small footprint but a client nonetheless.  As Chris stated it is cheap.  Like an additional $750 list for a 5520 which will support 750 concurrent sessions.

If you need only a client VPN that tunnels to your network. ASA with
Anyconnect Essentials license works well and is inexpensive. If you a
more advanced setup that will give your VPN users a "Portal" with
links to things such as intranet pages, remote desktop sessions, file
shares, etc you should definitely check out Juniper's SSLVPN SA-XXXX
(IVE) devices as they are incredible boxes:

The downside is that these devices are only SSLVPN endpoints, not firewalls.
