Apache Guacamole vs. Rocket Remote Desktop

Apache Guacamole is well suited for providing remote access and controlling administrative servers/devices in small to medium-scale deployments. Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application, to use it you only need any modern web browser. In my opinion, the developers' choice to use Tomcat/Java made the application somewhat heavyweight with too many dependencies. If we manage to resolve the stability issues we would likely use it for employees' access to their workstations company-wide.

If multiple sets of credentials and User Directories are involved across the servers you're connecting to, this is a huge help in organizing them all and managing changes over time. Having multiple concurrent server connections in tabs instead of separate windows is also much more convenient. While we're only using RDP, there are multiple connection methods to facilitate a mixed environment.

ASG-Remote is very flexible and with so many options available it makes the configuration you want for your setup super simple. Other products do not offer the extra features for database and reporting. As well, it offers all the connection types you can possibly think of. The ability to automate tasks for regular servers and workstations is amazing!
