Overall Satisfaction with Remote Desktop Manager

It is used to access our electronic displays remotely. I can run around and plug in a keyboard into each of the PCs that run our electronic displays and work on them directly but it is way more efficient to log into the backend of each and make the change on each of them at the same time. I also use RDM to connect to servers and make changes on them as well. The servers have no local access because they are VMs but I can remote into them and make changes. RDM makes it possible to have all of those connections at the same time on different tabs so I can get a lot of work done is a short period of time.
  • You can connect to many different types of systems, RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, VPN, WebDAV, FTP, ARD and more.
  • Your session data can be stored in a cloud system to move them back and forth on multiple devices.
  • You can also send commands to the systems via actions, so if you have repetitive tasks it helps make it quicker.
  • The system takes a bit of screen real estate.
  • It takes a bit to set it up when you have many different systems that you want to connect.
  • There are more features than I will ever find and I wish I knew them all but I can't even expect to find them all.
  • 50% more efficient in deploying changes to remote systems.
  • Reduced overhead on travel.
  • Easy access with less danger.
Remote Desktop Manager does everything that LogMeIn does and much more. It accesses more systems than LogMeIn can and it cost way less than LogMeIn does. It is a win-win situation. Logmein does the connecting from the web but sometimes you don't want that overhead because you connect to systems all the time and Remote Desktop Manager does that.
If you use any system where you connect remotely and have to get into the system from time to time. RDM makes it so you can just make all those connections and never have to input them again. Just click the server/connection you want and you will be able to make changes.
