I use the community version of Vyatta across three sites, and it's been really 
stable. We have static VPNs between the three sites, and mobile users on two of 
those. Failover links are supported (and work, I've used 'em).

We use the native VPN clients on Windows and Mac and have it authenticating via 
radius to AD.

That being said, I wish it had a few more security features like better IPS - 
they had snort, but removed it, and some of the NGFW stuff, and a socks proxy 
would be nice as well.

It does seem the small-medium business with security needs is very poorly 
served by vendors. Bruce Schneier quotes Mark Rothman  
(http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/02/all_those_compa.html)

"Back when I was on the vendor side, I'd joke about how 800 security companies 
chased 1,000 customers -- meaning most of the effort was focus on the 1,000 
largest customers in the world. But I wasn't joking. Every VP of sales talks 
about how it takes the same amount of work to sell to a Fortune-class 
enterprise as it does to sell into the midmarket. They aren't wrong, and it 
leaves a huge gap in the applicable solutions for the midmarket."

Actually, I'd like to start a discussion about that. Maybe I'll open another 
thread.
