Usability

I have been using MobaXterm for over 5 years, and I use it to manage network switches and configure new switches by using SSH or serial connection. It was an incredible tool, especially the color terminal output and the graphical SSH. For the large configurations on multiple devices, I used the Multexec feature, which saved a lot of time. Undoubtedly, I will recommend MobaXTerm to any organization as a primary tool for configuration changes.

Alternatives Considered

SecureCRT

The colorful terminal in MobaXTerm is a great feature, especially when reading multiple outputs or logs. These small, colorful highlights could lead to solving network issues or help with troubleshooting. MultiExec feature is a huge feature that only a network engineer with a large organization can appreciate the work it can do and the time it can save when doing big configuration changes on the whole network.
