Answers to Common Competitive Claims
Attachmate Reflection 2011 is regularly updated to meet your evolving business needs—from security and productivity to IT flexibility—and that’s why it remains the superior terminal emulator on the market. If you’re wondering whether Reflection 2011 is right for you, find out the facts about how it can keep you ahead of the curve better than other emulators available.
Competitive Claim: Terminal Emulation Is Outdated
With Reflection 2011, you can conveniently access your host resources from a Windows 8 Pro device or a Windows RT device like the one shown here. (Click image to enlarge).
Our answer: It’s not about the green screen. Because of its maturity, terminal emulation may be perceived as a commodity. Older legacy applications are often considered less modern and strategic as newer technologies like cloud computing. But we all know there’s a reason why these legacy applications have been around for decades and why organizations continue to rely on them.
Attachmate believes that with terminal emulation, it’s not just about the green screen. It’s also about everything that goes on around it. With Reflection 2011, we invest heavily in technological innovations designed to give you an advantage in today’s challenging business environment. That means:
- Ensuring that our emulation software works seamlessly with the latest technologies, such as Windows 7, Windows 8, and virtualization platforms.
- Staying on top of the latest security standards and regulations like FIPS, DoD PKI, USGCB/FDCC, Section 508, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA/HITECH, and PCI-DSS.
- Boosting security with privacy filters, data masking on live host screens, unmatched authentication and authorization using the security proxy, and a secure coding and development methodology.
- Improving user productivity with Microsoft Office features like Screen History, Auto Complete, Spell Check, and Recent Typing.
- Simplifying IT management and administration with centralized management and powerful pre-deployment configuration tools.
- Providing expert customer support with one of the top-rated support departments in the industry.
- The simple stuff too—like customized colors, keyboard mapping, themes, customized toolbars, and hotspots.
Competitive Claim: Other Emulation Products Are Just Like Attachmate’s
Our answer: We value R&D more than any other vendor. Other emulation vendors provide only a subset of the features available in Reflection 2011, and most vendors don’t invest enough to make true technological strides.
But at Attachmate, we devote more resources to research and development than any other terminal emulation vendor. Our innovations, like patent-pending security capabilities that enable organizations to adhere to security mandates and advanced productivity features to make users more efficient, along with our close relationship with Microsoft, help make Attachmate the terminal emulation vendor of choice in the marketplace.
