Reasons for Switching to Remote Desktop Manager

Pros

I like that I as an IT manager can centrally manage all remote connections for our users.

Cons

When trying to use it as a password manager, the view is very not comfortable. this is stopping us from migrating our passwords fully to RDM and use it as a central password\secrets management.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Remote Desktop Manager

Pros

The ability to maintain a list of remote devices between multiple IT employees. Lots of customisation available. Save and run scripts.

Cons

So much customisation that you can get lost trying to find the one you are looking for.

Pros

Full of functionality and features. If you think about a vpn, a remote connections this software has the plugin to automate the process. It's also secure because data are centrally stored with rbac config.

Cons

Well.... to heavy , this sw is always slow. I've changed my laptop with a new one with i7 and ssd with 32gb of ram and it's still slow!
It's buggy... i usually skip some version because they add whatever plugin or functionality you probably never use because you will not be able to find it and they broke something you are using.

The ui is confusing, too many options available.

Pros

It has multiple entries and connection types, making it esay to keep all my connections and password in one place and simplify my daily connections.
integration with web browser, powershell, multiple VPN clients and loads of other useful options.

Cons

the IOS version has no datasource capabilities with onedrive.

Pros

Centralized control of session and supporting information. Ability to apply standard session recording and logging policies.

Cons

Low resolution, and no ability to upscale, session video recordings. This severely limits our ability to identify and improve operational workflows. Network scripting is limited.

Pros

The variety of endpoint and credential types it supports.

Cons

Sometimes offline mode does not give you access to credentials.

Pros

- Functionality
- Rich set of settings
- Internal password Vault with a flexible set of variables to password cross using
- Many modules for different session creation

Cons

- Working speed
- Not clear information about program settings and each setting particularly. Not in the program nor in the documentation sometimes.
- Import / Export setting not supported via Devolutions Hub

Pros

It has an iniative interface, using Tabs to handle multiple connections.
also the varaities of connection types, it covers wide range of connectors even team viewer is here.
saving the credintials per connection, folder is wonderfull

Cons

sometimes setup connections to OS's rather than windows is confusing

Pros

Remote Desktop Manager is an indispensable tool for centralizing all your remote connection tools.

Cons

Remote Desktop Manager releases updates too regularly

Pros

One software for all remote access and a richness of options and configurations. Also it supports integration with most password managers, a huge deal for us.

Cons

To get used to it and dive deep takes some time. Also, startup time isn't great although it has been improved over the past.

Pros

I can access all my lab systems from one location. That's including Linux and macOS.

Cons

The RDP on iOS devices could use some work with touch devices

Pros

If for some reason I need to move the Remote Desktop Manager window to another screen while I am remoted into a system, it doesn't start a count down like it is in the process of disconnecting like mRemoteNG did. I can move this without having to worry I will get disconnected from the system I am remoted into.

Cons

When I use Quick connect to remote into a system the only issue, I have is that when I delete something from the system and press the enter key on my keyboard it tries to open another system in my list or goes to another one that I already have open instead of deleting the item. I have to go back to that window and then click yes for it to finish deleting the item. I was able to do this in other remote tools I used. For all I know is that I am doing something wrong or there is a setting I need to enable. If there is a setting that needs to be enabled, please let me know.

Pros

This makes it very simple to log into remote sessions and is far better than the windows option

Cons

The interface can be quite lagging on high resolution displays. This is a common complaint I’ve seen

Pros

Costumer Data aggregation and connection

Cons

better documentation and password management

Pros

RDM is great at managing your remote connections! Whether they are RDP, SSH, VNC, Apple Remote Desktop, telnet, WinSCP, file explorer, websites, Cloud explorers, etc. The integrations with other tools are the key though. They integrate with various password managers, FTP tools, etc! They also import connections from other tools like Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager, MRemote, Putty, WinSCP, RealVNC, Royal TS, and many more!

Cons

I haven't run into a CON yet. My experience has been nothing but positive!

Pros

Ease of use from a day to day perspective and from an implementation/setup process. We use RDM for our cred vault, RDP launching. It's been great to set permissions based on a users role in the company.

Cons

There's a lot you can do with the tool that i can be overwhelming.

Pros

Central database most I like feature

Cons

I like everythings about it

Pros

Its Simple and easy to use. Not any complications. Just connect to VPN and access your remote desktop

Cons

The only downside is some of the features which are available in normal desktop are disabled in remote.

Pros

The ease of use and ability to open multiple sessions with a large number of integrations.

Cons

Nothing not to like in this case, it fits most use cases

Pros

Center data management + be able to authenticate to systems without knowing credentials

Cons

Software license cost is high, particularly paying per user

Pros

Swiss Army Knife of Tools for SysAdmin, a great tool, which includes all the management tools in a single application for System Administration

Cons

doesn't support MariaDb anymore for teams!

Pros

When I started managing my company servers and network Appliances, I was using the local remote desktop and I had to type the ip or each server everytime. With Remote Desktop Manager, my servers were already added and organised by folders. Which made my work easier and saved a lot of time.

Cons

Sometime the opened windows will laf and you have to close and open a new one again.

Pros

It is easy for IT professionals to remote into my computer when there is a problem

Cons

Nothing, it works well and it is easy to use

Pros

It supports about 98% of protocols you need for everyday life as a sysadmin (SSH, RDP etc.)

Cons

The initial setup process takes a little longer than just setting up all your servers. What kind of annoys me, is that once you update the software, everyone else from your team has to update too.

Pros

a very simple way to connect to multiple servers one by one or at the same time and a simply way to switch between servers without the need to sign-in and sign-out all the time.
Integration with password managers to further increase security by avoiding having to store your credentials locally.
There are many more tools, but in my case those are nice to have features I simply don't use (yet)

Cons

when changing the size of the window the remote server screen does not adjust. I use a laptop with 3 external screens 2 x 24" and 1 x 34" and when moving it needs to be resized and you either are left with unused space or scroll bars.
in particular when switching between windowed and full screen, it would be great if it automatically scaled the remote display.

Pros

I do like it better than the standard remote desktop, and can set it up to go to more than one place rather than only one place.

Cons

Learning curve on how to use it and set up, and what piece goes with what, if you aren't use to doing this sort of thing, as this was my first time with a tool like this, didn't even know or know for sure what I needed to download, or how this and others work together.

Pros

The extraordinary flexibility and capability of the tool, both for connecting to systems and storing information relevant to the IT landscape. Additionaly, pairing the tool with their other products such as Hub or Server or Gateway can provide enterprise grade security and functionality whether it be for a single user or a large IT team.

Cons

It would be great if Devolutions could expand the development team working on product enhancements. There is so much potential for the product/s, and it is great to see all the improvements included with the quarterly major releases, however many of the community submitted 'feature requests' remain in the backlog, I suspect due to capacity contraints of the current team.

Pros

Very versatile, meaning that it can be configured for a wide range of situations. Can run on many different databases or in the cloud. For each connection you have many configuration options so most things can be configured for your exact needs.

Cons

Can be a little slow to start but once started it's fast.
Timeout handling to the connected SQL server with the Remote Desktop Database (our configuration, might not be the same for other setups)

Pros

Ease of use and logical layout of the gui. All the different options for remote connections and the embedded web browser to name a few.

Cons

I wish there was a way to set credentials as a variable or template instead of being stuck with standardized naming.

Pros

Ease of setup/use and the many possibilities for use.
Service and feedback for any problems or issues

Cons

I don't have any real negative points to report so far :-)

Pros

Everything an administrator needs in one place and on multiplatform. This enables us to be everywhere :D

Cons

None! Except deciding to edprecate the cloud backup functionality.

Pros

I love the ability to remotely access so many assets at once and save those connections. I can export the file of connections from one application and import it into RDM easily and vice versa. Love the ease of use.

Cons

The URL feature sometimes makes you retype the URL into the address bar as opposed to opening it outright.

Pros

It is one of the easiest ways to organize multiple RDP sessions. I can leave this up all day and keep multiple Servers open and switch between them much faster than using the built-in windows RDP client.

Cons

Unfortunately, there's nothing to NOT like about RDP Manager. I've been using it for over 10 years and it is a fantastic product.

Pros

Having one application to manage all logins, all forms of remote access for every device imaginable, and even supporting documentation is a wonderful thing. Lots of options for back-end datasource platforms, loads of application integrations.

Cons

The application launch seems a bit slower than I might expect, even on a very fast PC, but once loaded it runs great.

Pros

Vero powerfull, sharing with my collegues, vero strong password and connection management
Along Hub Business is a very must have in and IT and MSP organizations (perfect combo)

Cons

I’m using RDM on MacOS: The Windows version is more more fast and reliable..and on MacOS many of the external plugins are not compatibile (Fortinet, Sophos ecc)

Pros

A nice, intuitive GUI and rock solid for our needs.
Regular updates with security and functionality updates.

Cons

A more intuitive method of going full screen for a specific session and back to the main window would be great.

Pros

It has so many features that have saved me so much time having to use multiple different apps for different services and put them all in 1.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a bit much. With all the different features, doing something simple can sometimes lead you down a rabbit hole which usually leads to something great but complicated.

Pros

I daily use Remote Desktop Manager as I need to remote connect to many server and https websites, and it allows me to do these tasks in a quick way and save a lot of time.
First You create a connection choosing the type and filling all the informations required. Every time you will need to connect you will just have to click on open session button. If you need to change anything in the connections you create, just right click on properties and set the new value (e.g. the password).

Cons

The program may take some time to load and may seems to hang
The configuration of SQL source may need some knowledgement
