Setup for the Aventail ST2 is simple. You just have to configure the interface through a console connection and you can access the web-based setup wizard. This is easy to follow and guides you through the creation of the administrator account.

Review: Caymas 318

Review: Caymas 318

Designed for use on the Java platform, Caymas Systems' offering in this category has a web interface called the Launchpad. This is intuitive, easy to navigate and well organised. We had no trouble at all setting up users and creating user access policies. Generally, this appliance boasts the types of features that administrators like. It is easy to set up and maintain and requires little ongoing maintenance once it is in operation.

Review: Centrify DirectControl

Review: Centrify DirectControl

Centrify is a fairly young company, founded in 2004, but the problem its products seek to address goes back further than this. It is the perennial issue of providing an integrated and centralised approach to access control across disparate platforms, such as Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac. The issue is heightened by regulatory compliance obligations and associated audit requirements. Organisations with a large, mixed infrastructure can find themselves with a heavy workload in order to meet requirements in this context.

Check Point's appliance allows for both web- and network-based SSL connections via a web browser. It allows users to access information through its own, customisable web portal.

Review: Security Center Lite

Review: Security Center Lite

There are many approaches to vulnerability scanning and intrusion detection, depending upon the scale of your enterprise and the lengths to which you wish to go. Security Center Lite offers a relatively low-cost introduction to such tasks for infrastructures with up to 100 network nodes. For larger organisations, Security Center Pro can support an unlimited number of network nodes.

Review: SonicWall SSL VPN 2000

Review: SonicWall SSL VPN 2000

Once the interfaces are configured for the network in a quick and easy setup process, the SonicWall appliance is administrated via the web interface. This interface starts with the system dashboard, which shows all system information in a user-friendly layout. The web interface organises all tasks on the left side of the screen in several tabs.

Review: webNetwork

Review: webNetwork

Although this product is easy to use, it requires a lot of configuration. The main program is set up on a server via a simple-to-use wizard. Once installed, its interface is organized with a clumsy tree menu to the left and a configuration menu on the right. The menus can be confusing and awkward to work with.
