    If you want to design a network that contains devices from different vendors and you want to implement and monitor this network and make sure of the stability of this network before actually implementing it physically, then this is the right program. It allows you to design a complete network with different components and from different vendors with the possibility of integrating various devices and also linking them with network monitoring programs.

    SecureCRT is well-suited for anyone who maintains and operates a large number of devices or needs access to many systems. It makes connecting to these systems easy, rather than having to find or remember node names, IP addresses, login credentials, etc. This applies even to smaller device counts, as it just keeps the organization and connections simple to access.

    Cons
    GNS3
    • In my opinion, the program consumes a lot of device resources, especially when using the iOS version.
    • The program does not contain network devices, so you need to search for the network devices that you need and add them manually.

    SecureCRT can be configured for more than just remote desktop connections. I store RDP sessions, CLI interfaces, and FTP connections in the application.
