Overall Satisfaction with mRemoteNG
My development team uses this to manage various remote servers, mostly RDP, some VNC, and a few console\terminal devices. Makes organizing and accessing servers very easy, along with being able to share between the team any new infrastructure setups very quickly. Were mostly a Microsoft house with only a handful of non-windows appliances but this app helps bring all the remote management together in one convenient place.
- Easy to organize and group servers.
- Many different protocols for remote access.
- The ability to make use of external applications for non-directly supported protocols.
- Servers can inherit settings from nodes above so you can set up properties once making adding new servers/devices very quick.
- Easy to export and share config with new team members (be mindful of what you do with passwords though).
- Sadly not seeing much in the way of active development these days.
- Have had a few issues where the config file has been messed up (so learnging to back that up was key).
- Interface is functional but not pretty and can be a bit clunky at times.
- Very easy to hand over connections to new starters.
- Having multiple remote protocols in one place is a massive time saver.
- Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan), Radmin Remote Administrator, Chrome Remote Desktop and Remote Desktop Manager
Every now and then I do look to see if there is any other software that can bring together multiple remote access protocols in a single interface that can contain multiple connections to remote devices with image scaling to mage use of a windowed interface and have yet to find an alternative that does all that but doesn't cost a huge amount. Don't get me wrong I would happily pay for an alternative that could provide an overall better, more convenient experience, but I have yet to find one that has made me think it's worth jumping ship from mRemoteNG.
