### "Terminal Emulation for Computing Professionals"

January 13, 2022

4.0

Previously, I had to use many terminal programs to suit all of my requirements, which was quite inconvenient. But after I started using SecureCRT, it become much easier because I was able to get all of the features, settings, and tools that I needed in one program. My SecureCRT terminal emulation experience was really rich, and I consider it one of the best in this field.

Pros

One of the greatest terminal apps I use to access network resources and services. The most important features of this program are:- Multiple sessions can be opened in a single window. The ability to highlight commands with a variety of colors. The ability to send commands to all sessions.

Cons

First: is the high cost in comparison to competitors. Second: the software is incompatible with some browsers by default, so you need to make additional settings or modify some registry values.

### "Great and easy connections Telnet and SSH"

May 6, 2023

5.0

As a network administrator, I've been using SecureCRT for several years now, and I think SecureCRT is the best of the alternatives. Here you can easily add multiple devices. You can customize the interface that the terminal presents to you. In the process of work, sometimes we have to connect to several devices at the same time, of course, if we use an application to connect to each device, it can be both tedious and confusing. That's why SecureCRT is the best.

Pros

My favorite thing about this app is that it's just as easy to add devices. In addition, we can build the terminal in any form we want.

Cons

Using this application makes the work of an IT engineer very easy, so using this application feels very good.

### "You should definitely try SecureCRT."

June 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

If you mostly work with ssh connections, the software you will use should definitely be Securecrt. You can record session and provide fast and easy connection by saving user name and passwords with it. Session recording feature can save life :).

Cons

It doesn't have a feature that I don't like. It got full points from me.
