When I was a consultant with my former employer we purchased through Ingram without any hassles. AltTech is fine, but *slow* to get you prices and quotes.

Mike Moy (our Citrix regional rep) referred us to Techdata, Ingram Micro, and Alternative Technologies. Alttech seemed to be the answer since they specialized in Thin. It just worried me as my first dealing with them they could not honor a package deal listed on there site. FYI: it was a Sonicwall TZW 4 wireless SonicWALL pccards and an instant rebate. I just happened to be installing these TZW's at a client. Thanks for the opinions! -Eric S.

That said, I have always heard good things about Alt Tech There's always CDW. They have treated me right for almost 5 years now.

Has anyone had good experiences with Alternative Technologies? We just started dealing with them and they flat out would not honor a package deal they listed on there site. We are Citrix resellers, so we can buy from the major vendors Tech Data etc... Any thoughts would be appreciated, -Eric S.
