RDM Potentially the best :-)

Enjoy it very much part from the passwords vie and the permissions management (subfolders - no traversal)

Functionality

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.

Reasons for choosing Remote Desktop Manager

Did not like the support and that it did not have a desktop client at the time.

Managed config-once remote access

It is a bit of setup, but honestly not much more than one person would do anyway... save your team a *lot* of effort and do get this set up *just once*.

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

The team-accessible database of connections is amazing. I can't tell you home many businesses I've seen get this wrong--every IT person using they're own solutions... so much wasted time and effort. Here we can get a new guy set up in about 10 minutes and he has easy access to servers/switches/aps with a simple search.

Cons:

I don't have a feature I don't like about this, so the only thing to say is... gee, it could be cheaper.

RDM Empowers Operational Effeciency

RDM has significantly reduce the operational overhead of session and password management. Team members have access to what they need without having to 'discover' resources.

Customer support

Functionality

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.

Reasons for switching to Remote Desktop Manager

Lack of centralized session inventory and rbac controls.

A dedicated software for Teams Managing Multiple Connections

My overall experience with Remote Desktop Manager has been very positive. It has significantly streamlined how I manage multiple remote connections, VPNs, and credentials by centralising everything into a single, organised console. The ability to securely store and share credentials with team members has improved both security and productivity. I appreciate the wide protocol support and integration options.

Pros:

You can keep all your remote connections (RDP, SSH, VNC, etc.) in one place. Connections, VPN settings, credentials, and other settings can be organised through a console. This simplifies management.

Cons:

It is slow when the software is first started or when working with large databases (many connection definitions, VPNs, credentials, etc.).
