Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It gives us an easy one pane of glass program to access our servers and critical computers in the business. We also are able to do updates to our networking equipment with one command instead of going through them one at a time.

Pros

  • Program layout
  • Speed
  • multiexec
  • tons of options

Cons

  • password manager is a pain to get to
  • when I sign out of an RDP session, the tab should close on its own. If I lose connection, then the Reconnect option can be shown
  • It should be able to update on its own, not through download and basically a reinstall

Return on Investment

  • better efficiency with a range of user and project tickets
  • one pane of glass for a very fair fee
  • easier management
