I looked on that page and I see that it integrates with SSH and can use
SSL natively. Does NX have any advantages beyond that over VNC?
I'd say nx wins on security, speed, and admin hassle-factor, at least based on my limited experience and for my needs (small research lab in a university). for mac users (including me), there was not an obvious vnc client that had ssh built in. I figured out how to do vnc over a ssh tunnel from a mac. it was secure enough but a bit clunky, and harder for me to enforce that users connect securely. so having ssh / ssl integrated in nx was a win. there are some windows vnc clients with ssh (these may or may not be free, I forget). beyond security, I found NX to be slightly faster than tight-vnc (and much much faster than regular vnc). also, because I have users connecting from mac, PC, and linux, I found NX easier to admin as a solution because the nxclients are all very similar. vnc clients seemed to vary a lot across platforms whereas for nx its basically all the same.
