We do not have a lot of either machine (250 Wyse 3300's, 80 Neoware
3000c's) but the level of frustration with Wyse is absolutely
unbelievable.  Of those 250 machines we have issues with about 30-40% of
them compared with 5% of the Neoware.  I have used both the Rapport and
EZ manager tools and Rapport is atrocious.  I can configure 80 Neoware
machines in less time than 5 Wyse boxes.

Wyse tech support is non existent and when existent is practically
useless.  I cannot say anything about Neoware support as I have not had
to contact them about anything.  We took a long hard look at replacing
every single Wyse box we have with Neoware and despite our best effort
at creative financial management could not afford to do it.  

If you have the choice now and can afford either you will be making a
mistake choosing the Wyse boxes.  My $.02

Subject: [THIN] Battle of the Thin Clients - Neoware vs. Wyse

Hi everyone,

My company is soon to be going to a thin client solution and we'll be
expanding our Citrix environment to accommodate.  I've been searching
the net trying to find any product comparisons between Neoware and Wyse
terminals.  We haven't decided which exact models, but we're looking at
the Neoware eon e100 and the e300 and their Wyse counterparts (all
running XP Embedded).

Does anyone have experience with both Wyse and Neoware or have/know
where a white paper or PDF comparing the two may reside on the net?
What about Wyse's Rapport Management Suite versus Neoware's ezRemote
Manager?  Any differences or benefits to one over there other?  How's
customer service for each company?

This is all new territory to me, so any help, advice, comments, etc. are
appreciated.
