VisionApp is not in the list. This is the application we used before we got introduced to RDM. VisionApp was great but it did not have the same features as RDM did. Perhaps VisionApp has had some updates but we haven't found any reason to switch applications again.

From a multi-user perspective, we felt Remote Desktop Manager outperformed mRemoteNG and RDCMan as both of those tools required we copy/share their datafiles to keep everyone up to date.

Being a mostly Microsoft shop, RDCMan is the standard method of connecting and managing Windows servers. It knows its job and does it well. It's rare that I experience problems with the app. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Devolutions' product. Devolutions' Remote …

Remote Desktop Manager does everything that LogMeIn does and much more. It accesses more systems than LogMeIn can and it cost way less than LogMeIn does. It is a win-win situation. Logmein does the connecting from the web but sometimes you don't want that overhead because you …

Remote Desktop ManagerLogMeIn Rescue
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for employees (IT folks) that need to connect to multiple servers frequently and switch between those servers. in particular if not all are in the same domain or use the same OS (Windows/Linux, etc.) Less appropriate for users that only connect to a single remote device in particular if that is less frequent. The standard RDP solution is more than adequate for those users

Accessibility is there, and it is easy to instruct our clients on setting up a remote session; however, it always gets in the way if the client's PC requires a system admin username and password just to install the app. It would be great if the no-download version had all the same capabilities as the remote control session to avoid this.

Pros
  • Customer service delivery, whereby you can connect to clients to assist and resolve an incident.
  • Working from home logging onto office based machine.
  • It helps to attend to a problem more quickly, thereby saving the cost of relocation and commuting to distant places.
  • Speed and cost elements are critical here.

  • The rescue lens feature has come in handy to save us plenty of times. being able to have eyes on the end users' side to see how things are actually physically connected.
  • Having the ability to collaborate with other technicians is a feature that I have not seen in other applications. normally the other person has to connect as well which results in lowered connection speed on the end user's side since 2 connections are running.
  • The tools to be able to locate and audit sessions are also very valuable for measuring the performance of my technicians.

Cons
  • Occasionally there is a UI bug where the sidebar goes missing and you have to delete some files in %localappdata% to bring it back
  • Would be great if it could also connect to serverless SQL instances like Azure SQL
  • If computer sleeps and wakes with Remote Desktop Manager open it will comtimes ask you to re-login for no reason - as when you close and reopen Remote Desktop Manager it works

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. :)

We may continue using Logmein as it is the best remote support application in terms of connection latency and control. However, since several of our client sites have stricter security policies they block this application and we have to switch to other ways which is inconvenient

Usability
The software is easy to use and intuitive for a team that already works with Cloud or Infrastructure, and it is easy to adapt for teams that use it. (TR) O software é fácil de usar e intuitivo para uma equipe que já trabalha com Nuvem ou Infraestrutura, e é fácil de adaptar para equipes que o utilizam.

Sometimes connecting with a PIN has a delay that confuses users. If there is a way to minimize the delay, that would be ideal. If the user's individual account does have administrator permissions, the user has to click on elevated prompts even if administrator credentials are on hand. Yes, except if the user's individual account does not have administrator permissions. I have never gotten the option to input the admin credentials and start as system server to work across hundreds of sessions. I absolutely dread using LogMeIn Rescue during this type of scenario and may even need to use an alternative temporarily. Frequently clashes with users' security software. Otherwise, I love the application.

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.

I'd say support for LogMeIn is ideal because I haven't ever been in a situation where additional support was necessary. The program runs so efficiently and simply that nothing was needed beyond initial training that was provided by my company. I am saying this as a user that strictly uses the technician console

Alternatives Considered
I could detail what each one does, better or worst than Remote Desktop Manager, but the main thing is, RDM (Remote Desktop Manager) does everything other tools do, faster and more integrated than others. And still saves credentials that could be used by one or more connections, in a better way than other tools.

  • 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.

  • This has helped to provide us with a functional way to help clients use the software we provide.
  • LogMeIn Rescue helps to transfer sensitive data to clients machines directly instead of emailing the information.
  • Helps us document issues and record videos of things happening that are hard to prove to development
  • Sometimes LogMeIn Rescue closes out or will not allow you to login to a computer but works on another day without an issue. This is difficult for clients to understand and causes friction with relationships
