Over the years and doing consulting work for several different companies my favorite is TN3270 Plus by http://www.sdisw.com/. It is cheap works great and with Citrix I have never seen it deployed with Citrix. I connect using Citrix to 2 different clients then use TN3270 for my emulation.
Another emulator is Passport.

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.
