Limitations are only the effort you want to have to configure it (correctly).

MobaXTerm shines when executing commands for large numbers of Network appliances like Switches or routers. As network Engineers, when managing an extensive infrastructure, we need tools to reduce time and work. MobaXterm Split and MultiExec features helped me push configuration changes for more than 100 Switches within a few hours.

Cons
Apache
  • We have experienced some stability problems (mostly Tomcat related).
  • The interface could be a little more user-friendly.
  • Certain keyboard shortcuts used by Guacamole GUI are impossible to use in the Firefox browser in out-of-the-box configuration.

We have been using MobaXTerm since a long time in our organization and it is user friendly not just for the developers but also for the application support team. It provides a one stop interface for connection to applications running on remote servers using a wide range of networking protocols. We are using it highly for running applications in GUI mode using the X11 forwarding feature which makes installation of applications easy.

The colorful terminal in MobaXTerm is a great feature, especially when reading multiple outputs or logs. These small, colorful highlights could lead to solving network issues or help with troubleshooting. MultiExec feature is a huge feature that only a network engineer with a large organization can appreciate the work it can do and the time it can save when doing big configuration changes on the whole network.
