Overall Satisfaction with Radmin Remote Administrator

Secure remote access for IT Staff to network devices is a basic requirement for administration. We use both Microsoft RDP and Radmin for that effort. We have use cases for the use of both, but the primary reason we use Radmin is that it allows IT staff to access users computers without the need to end/suspend their active session. I believe Microsoft has recently released a shadow feature that allows this now, but we still use Radmin as our go to the corporate user network administration.

Pros

  • Remote access use and speed is good
  • Remote access allowing multiple sessions
  • Remote access logs are easily accessible
  • AES256-bit encryption

Cons

  • More detailed log information for security investigations
  • Securing access to logs
  • Prefer company ownership to NOT be Russian based
  • Cost is good for smaller companies compared to competitors
  • Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan)
We actually use both products, but our primary tool for corporate user access by our IT staff is Radmin. We use Microsoft RDP for access to our network servers since we can better secure our server access with Microsoft's product.

Do you think Radmin Remote Administrator delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Radmin Remote Administrator's feature set?

Yes

Did Radmin Remote Administrator live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Radmin Remote Administrator go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Radmin Remote Administrator again?

Yes

Basic network administration for unclassified systems is appropriate. I would never use it in a secure/classified environment based on its company ownership. We do not use the current version 3, so any improvements made may not be addressed in this review.
