Overall Satisfaction with MobaXTerm

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 and Cons

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

Usability

It does everything I have ever or will ever need for remote management of our server environment and access to our networking equipment. I can get in easily and quickly. Setup take some time but once one person sets it up, it's easy to clone to others so they all see the same thing.

Alternatives Considered

We did not review anything to compare to this. We had colleagues discover this tool and let us know to try it out. We did for about 2 days and immediately paid for it and several seats.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works great for system admins to be able to have quick access to all endpoints they wish to keep track of. We use it to update configs on our Cisco networking equipment all at once, which saves tons of time.

I can't imagine a scenario where this wouldn't be helpful outside of the level of user who could have access. If there were a centralized management structure for deploying this to an IT team, then it would scale to almost any situation.
