Excellent application, before I was using Putty but this application seemed more pleasant and intuitive, what I liked most about this application is the configuration since I can configure it to my liking and save it, I recommend it to all those people who connect to a server or a router to do their work remotely.

The truth is what I don't like is that I can't connect to the remote desktop, it would be great if it allowed me to connect to my session on my Windows server, this would help a lot with remote work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used multiple terminal emulator software in my career as an embedded software engineer but I found TeraTerm as the best and most elegant software due to its simple and easy use user interface. It has to-the-point features without any tantrums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have found nothing that I dislike. It has got all features succinctly developed to be perfect. Although it sometimes misses detecting USB when a device is connected through a USB hub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


The software is light and stable. Lets you save the session and you can open multiple terminals in a high speed manner and organize them quickly
using the macros makes it easy to configure the nodes through the terminal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the software does not allow to type across multiple sessions together. I feel if there is an option to enter the same command in multiple windows it would be great and saves time when it is required to configure more nodes simultaneously Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TeraTerm is very light compared to other terminal emulators in the market but it does everything what it is supposed to do. Most impressive thing about TeraTerm is that, it can automatically detect the serial port even if you use serial to USB converter unlike PUTTY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I feel that there is a small delay in TeraTerm specially when using the serial connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It offers features such as file transfer using X/Y/Zmodem and Kermit. It can replay recorded sessions which is very helpful during support calls with vendors/customers. These features are normally found it commercial offerings. It is also regularly updated and is a small download. A must for any network administrator's toolkit.

I love TeraTerm because it does everything that you may need it to do and it does it all better than PuTTY and other open source terminal emulators Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The default colors are not great, but they can be changed so that's an easy fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a responsive software that shows the incoming data on the edge or terminal software. We can now set serial port connection without any hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It does not have any convert option and shows the conversion format in hex or ascii format only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The history of this terminal application lends well to it's overall reliability. I've only recently started using it (after finding it on an Open Source list) and have found it to be useful, and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not as fully-featured as some terminal applications out there, but overall it's a nice little tool to have on hand! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
