Overall Satisfaction with Remote Desktop Manager

We have many virtual machines (some windows, some linux some even FTP) and Remote Desktop Manager lets us seemely connect to each of them without having to contaly share details or logins...

Pros

  • Easy to connect to any sort of endpoint
  • Makes passthrough of devices or locations to that machine easy
  • Credentials are securely stored (or not) with many options as to how to best secure them for your needs

Cons

  • Occasionally there is a UI bug where the sidebar goes missing and you have to delete some files in %localappdata% to bring it back
  • Would be great if it could also connect to serverless SQL instances like Azure SQL
  • If computer sleeps and wakes with Remote Desktop Manager open it will comtimes ask you to re-login for no reason - as when you close and reopen Remote Desktop Manager it works
  • Removed the hassle and security risk involved with sharing remote connection details
  • Enhanced the speed at which one can quickly RDP into a machine to debug or investigate an issue
Great and simple interface that is pretty customizable making tasks intuitive and easy to carry out.

Would you buy Remote Desktop Manager again?

Yes

Great centralized management of remote connections and the credentials for said connections - so makes repetitive tasks a breeze as you can just say "RDP onto the build server" without having to share or lookup all the details each time.

Support for a petrola of connection types makes it able to connect to just about anything, and it makes duplicating existing connections (to say log in to the same machine under a different user) as easy as a right click.
