Thanks again for the input all.

iNViCTuS,

Thanks for offering to answer a few questions, I am seriously considering requesting a demo, and hopefully an evaluation on my network for one of these appliances, and want to pre qualify them a bit before I put my name in front of some bulldog type sales people. I hope I am not asking for too much time. If so, I understand if you can't answer any/all questions.

1. If using the Secure Email Client Option, does the client have to stay connected to the IVE via their browser the entire time they have Outlook Express or Eudora open, or can they connect once, and download the plugin/whatever, then have the mail client just use the plugin whenever it wants to connect without having to leave the browser open(or even open it at all after the first session)?

2. Licensing is done by concurrent users?

3. Have you used the Secure Terminal Access Upgrade? If so, are there any issues(over and above the traditional terminal services issues) with screen refresh or other lag issues?

4. Are you authenticating to Active Directory? If so, have you tried authenticating users from a domain that has a trust relationship with the main domain you authenticate to?

5. Were you involved in the evaluation of Neoteris, before purchase? If so, would you mind just giving me a brief(very brief I dont want to take up a lot of your time) explanation of why you chose that over any of the competitors?

Thanks again for your time, I really appreciate it.

EDIT:

One more...

Is the portal that the user is presented with after login customizable? Logos, colors, etc?

Thanks,
