Overall Satisfaction with MobaXTerm

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used to use Putty for managing network switches, then I came across MobaXTerm. It was a game changer, I'm able to keep all of my network switches neatly organized. I can push out commands simultaneously and easily save output. Everything opens in a tabbed environment, it takes almost no system resource and all connections can be backed up.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to use GUI
Saves passwords for SSH Sessions
tabbed environment
has a portable version
session management is great!

Cons

Change the color of the text
the GUI could use an update, it looks a little dated

Return on Investment

It's made my team much more efficient
We share configuration files between techs
It's inexpensive

Usability

It's very easy for any IT administrator to use, it's highly customizable and you can download it free for personal use. It supports every protocol you can think of, has built in power shell and allows for drag and drop of SFTP file browser. I recommend this tool for any IT professional.
