>A full Tunnel Access (including Crossconnect and Backconnect possibility).

          OpenVPN has full tunnel access, read the article first your exaxtly the incompetent admin he is talking about. Its client just as easy if not easier then any java appelet.

Bidirectional Traffic Control inside the Tunnel

      OpenVPN has it and you can even control bandwidth. since the tunnel looks just like another interface.

Full Control of the accessing Endpoints

        This doesn't make sense since I don't know what youo mean by "control"??? I will assume you mean actually setting up the tunnels which is the function os the program.....so yes.

Different Levels of Access per Access Zone

      Getting tired of typing see 2 answers up.

Data Protection mechanisms like Cache Control if you access from a foreign Browser

          If you really believe that you can be "Secure" on a foreign browser by clearing cache then Aventail might want to re-think who they allow to endorse their product.

Cross platform support

      OpenVPN - MAC, Windows, Unix...sorry your apple newton or timex sinclair are not supported....oh wait thats right source in available so you can compile even for those....bet you Aventail will not run on those...

The ONLY thing that openvpn is lacking for enterprise is a central easy to configure large number of clients/networks. But again you're not paying $25,000+ for similair products!
