    Well suited to environments where IT staff need to access multiple servers/systems at the same time, cutting down on time wasted opening multiple windows. Not so useful for users that only need to access one system remotely, as most of its functions are largely unused in that case.

    Based on my experience, I can provide specific scenarios where Stackby is well suited and others where it may be less appropriate: Project Management: Stackby is an excellent choice for project management scenarios. Its ability to create custom databases, track tasks, assign responsibilities, and collaborate in real-time makes it highly effective for managing and monitoring project progress. CRM and Sales: Stackby is well suited for managing customer relationships and sales processes. Its customizable database structure allows for organizing customer information, tracking leads, managing deals, and generating reports. The ability to integrate with other tools further enhances its usefulness in CRM and sales workflows. Content Planning: Stackby is a great fit for content planning scenarios. Users can create databases to manage editorial calendars, track content ideas, assign tasks to team members, and monitor content performance. Collaboration features facilitate seamless content collaboration and ensure timely publishing.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • Easy to organize and group servers.
    • Many different protocols for remote access.
    • The ability to make use of external applications for non-directly supported protocols.
    • Servers can inherit settings from nodes above so you can set up properties once making adding new servers/devices very quick.
    • Easy to export and share config with new team members (be mindful of what you do with passwords though).

    • Ability to collaborate with team members on the same spreadsheet
    • Ability to integrate multiple tools for centralized utilization (i.e. Facebook, Google Analytics, project management, etc.)
    • Ability to send SMS and messages using integration with Twillio and Whatsapp
    • All spreadsheets/databases securely saved in the cloud instead of on local hard drive(s)

    Cons
    Open Source
    • The user interface for configuration is a little basic, and not obvious for a new user to set up connections. It could be a bit clearer how to do that.
    • It does not seem to automatically update itself to new versions - though older ones work fine, you can miss out on some new functions if you don't check for updates manually.

    • Implement the same views available on desktop into the mobile app
    • Internal automations (like Airtable)
    • Ability to implement and display info as a dashboard (like Airtable)
    • Polish up the formatting of formulas, inputting them causes user frustration due to the formula input cursor jumping around
    • Better intelligence and ease of inputting data in bulk i.e have the fields automatically identify what data is being input and format appropriately (like Airtable does)

    Usability
    Open Source
    Because it is easy to use once installing. The interface is very intuitive and there are help files available for anyone needing further set up assistance. For someone who is currently overwhelmed with managing too many things in too many places, mRemote simplifies this and puts the power back in the administrators hands with their intuitive interface.

    Stackby is overall pretty easy to use, especially if you're used to something like Airtable or SmartSuite. Some of the pages seem like near exact clones (though they put their own creative spin on things). I'd prefer a slighty fresher interface (like SmartSuite), but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the better price and great customer service.

    Never actually needed to use support so have no idea - honestly it's simple enough to use I'd be surprised if anyone really needs support with it.

    Extremely responsive, helpful, and friendly support (unlike many other SAAS teams out there).

    Every now and then I do look to see if there is any other software that can bring together multiple remote access protocols in a single interface that can contain multiple connections to remote devices with image scaling to mage use of a windowed interface and have yet to find an alternative that does all that but doesn't cost a huge amount. Don't get me wrong I would happily pay for an alternative that could provide an overall better, more convenient experience, but I have yet to find one that has made me think it's worth jumping ship from mRemoteNG.

    I have also tried Ora.Pm. Infinity has better graphical interface, but nowhere near as many features and the UI isn't as effective (i.e, moving around with keys). Grist has a much more technical interface and it comes from being more of a database/interactive spreadsheet vs Stackby. Grist has much more functionality in terms of formulas, but is much harder to learn to use and less other functionalities. Ora.PM is more of a test at a task management app, and doesn't compare - Stackby is much better.

    • Very easy to hand over connections to new starters.
    • Having multiple remote protocols in one place is a massive time saver.

    • Positive impact on organising my marketing so I contact advertisers in an appropriate time frame and don't lose hours figuring out what's happening.
    • Positive impact on organising challenges so that people feel more connected and supported, leading to future sales.
    • Positive impact on understanding data so that I can use it more effectively.
