If you are asking about their SSL VPN product than it's very nice and very capable. Much easier to leave with than with classical IPSEC based VPNS.

Thanks for the reply... Have a queiry regarding the ActiveX client and connecting to Terminal Services via it... Basically we're finding that using this is slower than using the Citrix client - Any views/advice on this ?

Many Thanks

in production we use netscreen ssl vpn boxes and everyone just loves them: admins and users. the term serv client (java or activex) is nice. It uses native windows client when possible and emulates it when it's not available. the speed is very good as long as the connection speeds on both ends are good.

With ssl vpns there are other options for a slow connections. Web based access to files servers and shares is one of them.

btw I forgot ot mention that we only evaluated F5s and do not have them in production
