The question we ask the vendors:

1. What's the name of the offering/product addressing the remote access.
   
2. Describe your overall architecture at a high level (ideally with a picture) - POPs, HA, bandwidth requirements, or restrictions.
   
3. How do you license your product? (seats, devices, concurrent connections, bandwidth).
   
4. How do you tie back to the User Identity and MFA?
   
5. Describe end user access options, clientless/client (People relying these days on their browser for performing their day to day job activities, what are the options you provide to such users).
   
6. What kind of protocols your remote solution supports; VOIP, FileShare, Printing, SCCM, Password changes.
   
7. How would your solution work on slow networks or when the user is roaming between networks?
   
8. Educate us more about your product’s reporting and alerting options (including UBA).
