I just went through the archives looking for generic information on 3270
emulators.  There is a lot but no specific to my requirements.


So here goes.

 

What are - say - the top 5 emulators everyone uses out there.

 

I have in my list so far

 

Hummingbird

Bluezone

HOD (Host on Demand - IBM) - an I am not sure what other software is
required to run this (Websphere or other?)

!Extra

Pcomm

Rumba

 

 

However, I was wondering if there were others.

 

My requirements are support (well supported), cost, encryption and usage
across a wide platform (z/OS, Linux, Windows, etc.).  And it has to be
deployed via Citrix.

 

I am not sure what anyone else is using out there for this type of software.
I love Vista3270 but I am not sure that my company will even look at it.

 

Is there a preference out there or is it just a random acquisition - kinda
like I like the pink one?

 

Or does someone have an evaluation analysis write up on this type of
software that they would be willing to share?

 

I am not usually in the front in the RFP but this time I am and it would
help me to know what to look for when selecting a 3270 emulator.

 

Thanks
