Where Older Terminal Emulators Struggle

OnWeb Web-to-Host is an older iteration of browser-based terminal emulation, which means it isn't built for modern environments. This leads to risks and challenges for organizations using this platform for legacy system access, such as operational continuity, aligning with modern infrastructure, and maintaining secure access.

Poor centralized control

With older terminal emulators like Web-to-Host, different users may connect in different ways. Over time, this can make access harder to manage, especially when IT teams need consistent security policies, permissions, and audit controls.

Security and compliance concerns

Evolving security and compliance requirements can make it harder to maintain and validate consistent standards.

Complexity around scale

Managing secure access at scale is challenging with older terminal emulators. When organizations expand, access across users, devices, and environments requires extra coordination and resources.
