Top Rated Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager Alternatives
Our office is undecided on which RDP manager is best. I personally prefer Devolutions Remote Desktop Connection Manager, but others here prefer Microsofts own Remote Desktop Connection Manager 2.7. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
What I like is the Microsoft Office 2010 feel of Devolutions Remote Desktop Connection Manager. Everything is grouped up nice and orderly.
You are also able to add much more in the way of connections into the application. TeamViewer Connections can also be added to and easily connected to.
In my opinion, it just has a much better user experience over its competitors, even if they offer very similar features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few aspects that I have had an issue with. When I had to reinstall the application when I refreshed my laptop, I took a backup of my connections. When I then reimported everything, all the of passwords that I had stored on the local computer were gone. I would recommend storing the password in the database if your Data Protection Policy will allow it.
Also, by default, easy RDP you add does not allow you access the clipboard from your local computer. You need to enable this on each connection by right-clicking on the connection and heading to Properties>Local Resources>Clipboard. It would be nice if this was a default setting.

It has all the features i need to help me in my day to day business need. I find it very intuative and easy to use. Installation is a breeze. I use it on a daily bassis for my personal and business use. I'v only used customer support once, because i lamost never have issues with RDM but when i had to support was very helpful and friendly.

I have not foiund anything is dislike in the product so far. I've never had an issue with the software and it keeps upgrading on aregilar basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that it can do much more than just RDP / Remote Desktop sessions is what i like best about Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager, ive not had to look at another app for my day job since i started using it a few years back now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There hasnt got to be anything i dislike about Remote Desktop manager, i fell in love with it at first sight! lol Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the fact that it has multiple connection options, the ability to backup/restore from the developer's cloud, and the ability to securely contain multiple credentials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With all the available options and abilities it does create a large memory overhead. It could be sluggish on a system running 16GB of ram.
Update: I have been running RDM on a laptop with 32GB of RAM and I have not seen any sluggishness at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The number of features it has and the protocols it supports. I also like a lot that it is frequently updated, which gives me confidence on the software. It has a long list of other products or services it can integrate with. It is easy to use and great tool for teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The performance of the software itself isn't all that great and the options so many that menus get chaotic. Also, when combined with other Devolutions software there are a lot of overlapping features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great at grouping connections together along with all their requirments such as connection to a VPN, the presence of a private key and/or password etc...
Also supports a huge number of connection types e.g. RDP, SSH etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be great if it had the option to download the update in the background and update automatically on close - rather then promting to install as soon as you open Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really appricetate the fucntioanlity in RDM as i like below points
Centralized Connection Management:
RDM allows users to centralize and organize remote connections, including RDP, SSH, VPNs, VNC, and more, into a unified platform.
Users can structure their connections using folders, tags, and custom icons for easy navigation.
Credential Management:
Securely store and manage login credentials for various remote systems.
Support for credential inheritance, allowing users to manage credentials hierarchically.
Activity log
RDM keep all activity log and we can do fetch the report of the log as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
RDM crashed by frequently once get connect any remote desktop and try to go back on the dashboard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Remote Desktop Manager is the ultimate tool for aggregate multiple connections most needed to fulfill everyday job. It's very easy to setup and configure and in matter of minutes we can setup our connections no matter which protocol is used. Also iit is very simple to import created connections accross Operating Systems which allows to always have a manual import for each OS or simply sync all connections with a online Devolutions Account.
I use it everyday to solve myproblems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunatelly it still lacks Linux support. The most recent version doesn't allow to do basic operations such as a duplicate connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Options that are all required for various departments/matters that are required for our work.
Devolutions tries to integrate all personally requested applications or functionality if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No real disadvantages, perhaps the performance when more than 10 k sessions in 1 vault (which we achieve 'well'...)
I think they had this on the 2023 roadmap? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The number of features and functionalities that the tool has are incredible, which makes server management much simpler. Having Devoluutions RDM is essential for good management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I believe that the high consumption of the application is one of the negative factors. In my view and experience, the tool sometimes crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
