Very suitable for educational purposes or for training new employees on a virtual system. It is also very suitable for making initial designs for networks and presenting them to clients before starting implementation. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for network testing and penetration testing. Also, it is not possible to add Firewall devices from other companies.

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.

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