Evaluating SSL-Based VPNs?

Saqib Ali asks: "There are numerous SSL based VPNs available in the market. They all offer same basic functionality, but a varied set of features. I am currently evaluating a few of these of SSL based VPN solutions. Compared to a IPsec based VPN, SSL based VPNs are fairly easy to test and evaluate, since no client installation is required for the SSL based VPNs. One way to evaluate is to test all of my applications against the each product. I am also planning to test support for various browsers. I was wondering if Slashdot readers have some suggestion/ideas on what else to include in my evaluation matrix. Are there any features that are a MUST, or things that I should watch out for while evaluating SSL based VPNs?."
