mRemoteNG vs. Parallels Secure Workspace

mRemote is well suited if you need to manage multiple types of servers and/or network devices. Instead of opening a dedicated Putty session and having to manage all of the windows, mRemote can handle all of this with different tabs. If you only have a few devices (less than 10), mRemote could be overwhelming for the need and not quite match up with what you are needing.

In situations where we didn't need to pass through local disks, we found Awingu to be a good fit. Especially the multiscreen options in an HTML5 browser are pretty unique to them. The extensive options to do MFA are also very user-friendly.

• Tabbed Views. Each server remote desktop is viewed in its own separate tab, similar to a web browser. This makes it much quicker and easier to switch between them than using separate windows.
• Storing credentials. You can configure it with log on credentials for each system, saving time on accessing as you don't need to enter a password each time.
• Multiple connection types. I use the traditional RDP the most, but mRemoteNG allows many different connection types, similar to Putty.

Incentivized

• The most fully featured HTML "remote app" experience
• Very extensive SSO / MFA support (for example : Azure AD)
• Multitenant capability
• Multiscreen capability

• Sadly not seeing much in the way of active development these days.
• Have had a few issues where the config file has been messed up (so learnging to back that up was key).
• Interface is functional but not pretty and can be a bit clunky at times.

Incentivized

• Being only/mainly an HTML5 solution some resources can't be passed through (file shares)
• Publishing apps to local desktops would be nicer if there was a "add to desktop" shortcut.

It's very easy to setup and use. The tree structure organizes the multiple connections in a hierarchical manner which makes it easy to browse and the tabbed browsing make it simple to switch between multiple ongoing connections You can even export the list of connections and import it to another setup.

Never actually needed to use support so have no idea - honestly it's simple enough to use I'd be surprised if anyone really needs support with it.

mRemoteNG is far more useful than LogMeIn when on the same network, or VPN as the servers, as it allows multiple server screens open in multiple tabs. LogMeIn is much more useful when working out of the office for its ability to connect anywhere, but each system accessed is in a separate window making navigation a little tricky. Sometimes I use them in tandem however, LogMeIn to access a machine in my network, then mRemoteNG to access multiple machines from there!

Awingu has more features in its HTML5 offering, which is the main advantage it has. Parallels RAS also has a local application which gives it some additional features (passing through drives)

Incentivized

• Very easy to hand over connections to new starters.
• Having multiple remote protocols in one place is a massive time saver.

Incentivized

• Users picked up the new way of using the CRM right away, no long process to migrate to the new system
• Almost no support cases when switching to Awingu
