l have greatly appreciated everyones input on my question. It has been very informative.

Whilst most of the usage will be browser based for our Windows, Mac & Linux users, we also use SSL, DB management and Secure FTP software as well Does this change the selection at all?

no. juniper ssl has something called network connect taht will allow your users full blown network access if they need it (in order to run other applications that are not browser based)

the SA also supports to run Remote Desktop Protocol and SSH via a Java applet that they provide.


It seems to me from what l'm hearing here that the Juniper is market leader for a reason. It seems that Checkpoints options are lagging behind in usability and options, even though they are improving and catching up over time.

hardly.


Please correct me if my analysis of the responses were incorrect.

It's Checkpoint's lack of true support for Mac OS (6 - 12 months VPN software lag after OS upgrades) and lack of Linux VPN client that is driving this search, and while we're at it Ray l will be recommending an RSA SecurID sidekick to the project to beef up security for our users using Cyber cafe's (l know they will no matter how many times you warn them) and other public networks.


Check Point uses an ActiveX control in the browser. This should tell you allot of what browsers are supported with their Connectra software. For Linux the latest secure client kernel module is for RedHat 7.3 and they don't seem to care that there are a lot of linux users in the world.
