F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) vs. Norton Secure VPN

I think that the platform is well suited to many Remote Access VPN solutions, but I also think there is a lot of room for improvement on the backend. If you are hoping to deploy your APM solution across many different datacenters or colos, it may not be the best choice for the final solution.

This was bit of a bummer but not too cumbersome. Next in the area of not recording my browser history I believe that this is were the software excels.
