    If you have lots of servers to manage, lots of credentials, different protocols, documents, other files, and need a single tool to manage it, this is the tool. Active Directory integrated, user and groups permissions, audit everything, keep data in encrypted files or in a database, customize everything, even the installer,

    SupremeViewer is best for troubleshooting technical issues on remote computers. You can do connections all over the world without any configurations. Just run or install and connect. It is secured and works behind NAT. The easy installation process without additional configuration helps a lot when our customers need to run the server.

    Cons
    Devolutions
    • Occasionally there is a UI bug where the sidebar goes missing and you have to delete some files in %localappdata% to bring it back
    • Would be great if it could also connect to serverless SQL instances like Azure SQL
    • If computer sleeps and wakes with Remote Desktop Manager open it will comtimes ask you to re-login for no reason - as when you close and reopen Remote Desktop Manager it works

    I've been using RDM for about 10 years now. I started with the free version, which I used for a few years, and eventually switched to the Enterprise version. I can never go back now! I use this tool for everything and cannot see doing my job without it! Whenever we have someone new come in or bring in a vendor/contractor, they always ask me what RDP tool I'm using. Once I explain about it's features and all, they're usually instantly sold on it. :)

    Usability
    Devolutions
    Due to the way our business works, the use of Remote Desktop Manager is limited to the IT staff. For that reason have given it a rating of 8, but only a limited number of employees benefit from this solution as the bulk of our consultants that support customers can not benefit from this solution due to security mandated separation between internal and external systems

    I've never had to use support as I've never had an issue. That said, you can open a support ticket right from the UI. The user forums are active, and there are thousands of threads covering many topics. Very easy to get support if needed. This is an easy ten.

    VisionApp is not in the list. This is the application we used before we got introduced to RDM. VisionApp was great but it did not have the same features as RDM did. Perhaps VisionApp has had some updates but we haven't found any reason to switch applications again

    At the beginning we used Windows Remote Desktop service. The main problem with Remote Desktop was that the remote computer needs a publicly visible IP address which will allow us to connect to that PC. For that reason we started using TeamViewer. TeamViewer works great behind NAT and with its free option was best solution for small company as ours. I think that now they are mainly targeting corporate customers and the price of their products is too high for us. This led us to look for other solutions. That's how we discovered SupremeViewer.

    • A common place for storage for all users. Instead of employees using multiple different password management systems, they all use Remote Desktop Manager to store them now.
    • We don't have to buy licenses from multiple vendors when everyone uses Remote Desktop Manager.
