    As a IT specialist we have some servers we need acces to. I like to use Remote Desktop Connection Manager because it feel like you are on the computer. Is feel very trusted. Some colleagues use the Azure remote desktop version but I always recommend the windows integrated option. We also have our primary business application running on a server so they use a remote desktop connection too to log on to the server.

    SupRemo is well-suited for scenarios such as remote IT support, collaborative work, and training. It excels when IT teams need to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues on remote computers, as it allows for efficient, real-time control and support. In collaborative work, SupRemo enables multiple users to work on a shared computer simultaneously, making it valuable for project collaborations. Remote training sessions also benefit from SupRemo's capabilities, ensuring effective onboarding and skill development for remote or geographically dispersed teams.However, SupRemo may be less appropriate for extremely sensitive or highly regulated environments, as it requires careful configuration to maintain strict security standards. Additionally, it might not be the best choice for organizations with limited bandwidth or unreliable internet connections, which could hinder the performance of remote sessions.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • When trying to connect to a server/machine, and it doesn't connect, there is a "Disconnected" message that is displayed in the thumbnail. There is no information beyond this that explains why the server/machine did/could not connect. It would be helpful to the IT Administrator to know this information, even if Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) kept a log somewhere where this information can be analyzed.
    • There doesn't seem to be an option for connecting to a server that is usually only able to be accessed from a jump server. This will not connect if the server is set up as a server/machine within RDCman. This would be a beneficial feature to have within RDCman. Maybe one of the missing options is to be able to set this in the prospects for the jump server (within the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) window).

    As alluded to in previous responses it is a very functional tool. It allows me to do my job quickly and efficiently every single day. There are little to no issues using the connection on a day to day basis. It handles everything you need from a remote connection perspective.

    Plenty of information and support online, and with many things it's pretty straight forward for the average tech to navigate and work with. But with most things online you're not the only person that's had the issue before, and using a search engine you should be able to figure it out.

    RDCMan outshines TeamViewer in every possible way. It’s fast, more reliable, and easier to use. I have had frequent crashes and issues when using TeamViewer, while none with RDCMan. Screen responsiveness also seems much better with RDCMan versus TeamViewer. I would often experience lag issues when using TeamViewer.

    SupRemo and AnyDesk are both remote desktop software solutions, and they share many common features and capabilities. The choice between SupRemo and AnyDesk depends on your organization's specific needs and priorities. If you prioritize a user-friendly interface and robust security features, SupRemo might be the better option.
