### "Love having all my remote connections in one software"

March 12, 2018

5.0

Love this software and use it daily, also makes it easy for setting up our new users and to know they have access to all the servers they may need.

Pros

Having all my remote connections in one place and have it save all my information makes accessing our servers much easier. Also very very easy to back this up and send to other users so they can input their credentials and gain access to remote connections

Cons

Lock your station if you have this software saving your passwords otherwise they will be very easily accessed by anyone walking by your work station.

### "Providing convenience between home and work"

January 1, 2023

5.0

Pros

It is big convenient for remote desktop solutions with providing access to the credentials. It always comes with me. Also many times it handle my works when I am on the way. Also I use Devolutions Web Login too, and don't forget the android version which is one of the real helper when we are not neither at home nor work.

Cons

It has always slow opening at first start.

### "Great software for remoting into anything"

June 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

This software simplifies remoting into anything! Servers, switches, desktops, you name it. This is our primary tool for remote controlling everything in our environment. We love the simplified interface and the organization it allows. We can do everything with the free version but we will be evaluating the paid version for AD integration.

Cons

Setting it up can be intimidating for first time users because of the numerous options. Free version does not allow a shared database, which is understandable.

### "must have"

July 2, 2019

5.0

Pros

This really is a must have piece of software, we are able to connect/disconnect quickly to different servers with ease. You can store the logon credentials if needed which really speeds things up. It's really easy to set up and configure, users of all ability have been able to set up this up with minimal support. My favourite feature is that you can share connections with other users, this makes our day to day life easier when we employ new staff.

Cons

Nothing, yet to find something we don't like.

### "Remote Desktop Manager is the most comprehensive remote session manager I've used"

September 12, 2017

5.0

This software makes doing my job significantly easier. Rather than having SSH, SCP, RDP, etc. sessions strewn across different apps, I have everything integrated into a single interface, and all my passwords are saved (encrypted) for ease of connection.

Pros

As a SysAdmin, this is literally one of my most-frequently used applications. It's fantastic being able to save different remote session types into one interface and being able to keep them all consolidated. When I install updates in environments where we manually deploy, I can open 10+ connections at one time to save myself time. I couldn't recommend this application more!

Cons

Every once in a while, the software will lock up on me, causing me to lose my current sessions. But it's very rare.

### "Five Star Tool!!"

January 30, 2019

4.0

Me being an IT professional , this is a must have tool on my System! Customization of the work place has made My life really easy.

Pros

Remote Desktop Manager is easy to Use on any platform- Windows , MAC, Linux. etc. This is a Must have for any IT person or a technician . This is the best software I can think of that Manages a Bulk of systems with any remote Protocol .The most useful feature is the Key pass Integration. Session Management , Credential Management and App Management are being done in the best possible way.

Cons

There are no cons that I can actually think of to be very Honest, importing can be slightly harder however it is still the best if I compare it to the other similar products. Also, too many options are available in the GUI which might not be required by everyone.

### "So much easier"

February 1, 2019

4.0

This has same a ton of time for our team as we are no longer needing to manually manager connections which takes a ton of time.

Pros

The ability to consolidate our 240+ RDP connections into a single tool with credentials management for them is easily the best feature of this software.

Cons

This seemed to be a little more difficult to set up that we expected for team use. It proved to take a bit of time and effort when it could have been easier.

### "Remote Desktop Manager Review"

April 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

Quick and easy to connect to remote servers. Easy to sync with dual authentication. Works well with older servers not up to date with the connecting computer.

Cons

Slow process to change credentials to a different user. Also RDP session window does not often fill the display screen correctly. Difficult to use on a smaller laptop.

### "It's the product to beat for system administrators looking to manage remote resources"

August 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

Every now and then, a piece of software comes along that genuinely saves time and makes things easier. Remote Desktop Manager is absolutely one of these products. I've been using RDM for many years and it's my single go-to application for managing not just remote desktops, but SFTP connections, cloud resources, online applications, printers and more. It's very customisable. The product has many built in connection types, but you can also create your own with scripts and chain commands together.

Cons

There's very little I'd say I dislike. The program isn't the fastest to load, but I spend all day within its user interface so it's not something I experience often.

### "For a more versatile workstation"

May 16, 2020

5.0

Essential for IT, but flexible enough for more creative applications. A great cure for the Mac vs PC blues.

Pros

Gives me PC access from a Mac, allowing me to run multiple processes across different machines. A great solution for when OS exclusivity slows things down.

Cons

Clearly intended as an IT support tool, and therefore a lot more intuitive for the IT department. I'm an editor, so while I get a lot of mileage out of the software, I usually need to call in some support for connectivity issues.

### "RDM organizes the lift of any Sysadmin or Network Admin"

November 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

Remote Desktop Manager is by far the best tool out there to organize all of your remote sessions. RDP, Telnet, SSH, FTP, SCP, Web browsers etc... there is a way to fully integrate with just about every single protocol out there into a single interface. The free versions work great, but the paid versions work great for a team. Without RDM, I wouldn't even know where all my devices are located or how to connect to them.

Cons

Sometimes I wish RDM was easier to use. There are so many options it can sometimes be difficult to find what you want. Often you are presented with a dozen different ways to do something, but which is the best way? Hard to know.

### "RDM is the tool every IT team needs."

July 15, 2019

5.0

The ability to manage hundreds of remote resources from one console.

Pros

RDM allows easy access to all your remote resources. It has a full library of connection tools so you can connect and manage your resources. The ability to share your connection info with others, and their cloud storage tools are very useful as well. The software is updated often, so you always have the latest connection tools.

Cons

RDM works and is decently priced. There aren't really any cons to this.

We use this process in our company from starting and it is really helpful.

Cons

I dind find any cons for this but surely it required to fix some bugs while connection.

### "Great software When working remotely"

November 16, 2019

4.0

Its a great software that makes working remotely convenient

Pros

It provides an avenue for me to work from home and still have access to my work files and even some of my systems and databases without compromising the company information.

Cons

The software requires a large amount of space. So if I have a laptop with limited memory and I prefer to work remotely, I would have to either upgrade or delete some of my files in order to accommodate the required space.

Cons

Could have translation to Portuguese Brazil.

### "In a galaxy far, far away..."

January 26, 2019

4.0

I'm connected to my clients 24/7/365, and I can't always rely on just a mobile app for the information I need. It's such a great experience to be able to log in to my desktop remotely and know that all my clients' information, all my tools and resources are right there when I need them. I can't afford to be left stranded and in turn leave my clients stranded, and the RDM makes my reliability possible.

Pros

I love being able to connect and work remotely on my projects from anywhere in the world without going through any complicated IT/networking training.

Cons

The preferences and feel isn't identical to being at my desktop.
