DeskRoll Remote Desktop vs. Remote Desktop Manager

During the pandemic, our company worked remotely. Various staff in our company had technical difficulties or needed assistance installing software in order to work. DeskRoll Remote Desktop helped us to make this process seamless. Rather than deal with the aggravation of trying to walk someone through something over the phone, we were able to get things established in a simple, easy way.

If you have lots of servers to manage, lots of credentials, different protocols, documents, other files, and need a single tool to manage it, this is the tool. Active Directory integrated, user and groups permissions, audit everything, keep data in encrypted files or in a database, customize everything, even the installer,

• Ability to remote in at any time
• Can support unlimited clients with hardware and software issues
• Multiple remote client logins
• Cost!

• Customer service delivery, whereby you can connect to clients to assist and resolve an incident.
• Working from home logging onto office based machine.

• Speed and cost elements are critical here.

• It could be more cost-effective.
• It could include better "help" or "how-to" sections for people who are not as tech savvy.

• I would like to see advanced auditing in the Devolution's drive data source like there are in some of the others. But that's just something I'd like to see, it doesn't hinder my using the app.
• I would love to see even more addons available from even more software and service developers, but again the addon manager is great already so it's not a hindrance what so ever.

I've been using RDM for about 10 years now. I started with the free version, which I used for a few years, and eventually switched to the Enterprise version. I can never go back now! I use this tool for everything and cannot see doing my job without it! Whenever we have someone new come in or bring in a vendor/contractor, they always ask me what RDP tool I'm using. Once I explain about it's features and all, they're usually instantly sold on it. :)

I use this tool for almost everything in my day to day job. I launch the VMware VI Client from RDM. I launch vSphere Web Client Sessions from RDM. I RDP from RDM. Access Dell iDRAC and HP iLO via RDM, as well as Cisco UCS Manager and iKVM. I have saved SSH Sessions to my VMware hosts. I have URLs saved to get to things like IPAM, etc

I've never had to use support as I've never had an issue. That said, you can open a support ticket right from the UI. The user forums are active, and there are thousands of threads covering many topics. Very easy to get support if needed. This is an easy ten.

1. The types of sessions. You are not limited to just RDP sessions, you can do SSH, Web Browser, iLO, or really any session you can imagine that you might use to connect to a remote service
2. The extensions, add-ons, and features of RDM. You simply can do a lot more.
3. Automation - There's additional things you can do that help automate your workday to make things easier
4. The interface - It's easier to navigate and deal with multiple sessions at a time.

• It saved time, which always saves money!
• It allowed us to save money on additional software licensing - we now use Quickbooks through the use of DeskRoll Remote Desktop.
• DeskRoll Remote Desktop allowed us to transition to work-from-home easily, which saved us valuable time during the pandemic.

Incentivized

• A common place for storage for all users. Instead of employees using multiple different password management systems, they all use Remote Desktop Manager to store them now.
• We don't have to buy licenses from multiple vendors when everyone uses Remote Desktop Manager.
