Remote Desktop Management made simple

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a global company with (virtual) servers located in many locations and different domains, keeping track and logging has become a simple solution with Remote Desktop Manager.

Each server or group of servers can be setup with individual credentials making this process a matter of seconds versus the pre Remote Desktop Manager solution where it mend looking up the server info, and credentials etc.

By linking Remote Desktop Manager to our password manager system, we maintain full security while making it simple for our IT staff to connect to whatever virtual server needed.

Pros

  • Signing on a server with a simple double click
  • Grouping servers in groups/domains and locations
  • multiple usernames/passwords

Cons

  • simple way to adjust the window size after starting Remote Desktop Manager with small window
  • option to logout of servers automatic when closing down Remote Desktop Manager
  • support more password managers

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

RDM best Password manager

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a password manager, password vulnerability checker for all my access to websites, social networks, news portals, payment sites, etc., and also as a software license control and expiration checker. It's a robust, reliable, and flexible platform. I can log into any site without remembering any passwords with auto-login, and it offers the option to export accounts and also import user accounts from JSON files.

Pros

  • Password Manager
  • Remote Work
  • Remote Assistance

Cons

  • Multiwindow

Likelihood to Recommend

To better manage user accounts and software and web app licenses, with full control over user registration and passwords, a password analyzer, password expiration dates, and a comprehensive password generator with XML support.It allows me to have full access to all accounts even if I can't remember the passwords, using data connections like remote desktop. It's better than most solutions on the market.

Great remote manager

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have many virtual machines (some windows, some linux some even FTP) and Remote Desktop Manager lets us seemely connect to each of them without having to contaly share details or logins...

Pros

  • Easy to connect to any sort of endpoint
  • Makes passthrough of devices or locations to that machine easy
  • Credentials are securely stored (or not) with many options as to how to best secure them for your needs

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Great centralized management of remote connections and the credentials for said connections - so makes repetitive tasks a breeze as you can just say "RDP onto the build server" without having to share or lookup all the details each time.

Support for a petrola of connection types makes it able to connect to just about anything, and it makes duplicating existing connections (to say log in to the same machine under a different user) as easy as a right click.

How Remote Desktop Manager Streamlined My Remote Access Routine

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

I currently use Remote Desktop Manager to access servers on my network. With Remote Desktop Manager, I can organize all my servers and share them with my team. Throughout my experience with the Software, I have never encountered any problems, but I have consistently had great agility in accessing my environment.

Pros

  • Secure password sharing.
  • Constant updates with improvements.
  • Devolutions PAM is configurable in Remote Desktop Manager.

Awesome remote session manager with a great free tier

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Remote Desktop Manager helps me easily access all of the remote instances I typically need to access. This includes several SSH sessions, some Remote Desktop sessions, and some web portals. The software makes it extremely easy to save passwords and duplicate entries needed. It is extremely convenient being able to access all of the machines I need in a single platform.

Pros

  • It is good at saving SSH sessions and the needed credentials so it is a single click to connect after the first connection.
  • I have used it to create multiple Microsoft Remote Desktop entries. This has saved me a lot of time over using the native Windows application.
  • The platform offers a very easy to configure cloud backup for your vault entries. I have migrate through several machines and done many resets and it is super easy to import my entries again by just signing into my account.

Cons

  • Really I am not a big power user so I don't have a lot to offer in this area. The only thing I always like to see is additional theme options. It has light and dark which is fine but more colors are always nice.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think the platform is very good if you are often accessing several remote machines through a variety of methods. I access several SSH sessions, a handful of RDP sessions, and some web portals. If you are only accessing a couple of sessions then this may be more of a hastle than it is worth to use.

Be the manager of your enterprise network

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The main reasons I used Remote Desktop Manager, is to manage all my servers and network appliances under one platform. It provided me with all the tools I need to manage properly. The feature to make a profile and access a group of devices with one user and password with proper security is every Network engineer dream.

Pros

  • Listing all devices under different groups for better arranging of zones.
  • Different access method like SSH, Telnet and HTTPS.
  • Creating one profile to access a group of devices with one username.
  • Accessing more than one device in a multiple window.

Cons

  • Managing profile sometime gets confusing with multiple devices.
  • When working with multiple windows it's hard to keep the windows open and manage other windows.
  • The option to add Switches and routers to be managed is great.

Likelihood to Recommend

Remote Desktop Manager is the daily app that I use to manage my day-to-day tasks and activity. It makes me access all my servers and computers with one click thanks to the profile that manage the access details.

Opening multiple servers in multiple windows and jump between them saved me so much time when managing multiple servers for multiple sites.

Remote Desktop Manager is the best app for any System and Network engineer in enterprise organization.

Remote Desktop Manager

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a Systems Engineer, I remote into servers daily, several at a time and several times a day. Remote Desktop Manager helps me keep my server list organized and each server easily accessible. I can safely store my list and sync it between machines without having to rebuild it or export/import on each machine where I use Remote Desktop Manager (RDM). I cannot adequately convey how much I appreciate RDM and how much it has improved my daily duties.

Pros

  • Microsoft Remote Desktop
  • SSH (Putty replacement)
  • Organization of connections

Cons

  • RDM for Linux lags slightly behind the Windows version in stability.

Likelihood to Recommend

I have hundreds of servers that I need quick access to, Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) makes that possible on any machine that I am using at the time. It does not matter what type of connection is needed RDM has it built in.
