What do you like best about Termius?

Cloud synchronization of Vaults

Ability to save hosts, users, groups, tags, ...

Built-in Terminal (Console)

Views in tabs

History of connections and commands in Terminal

Snippets (autocompletion/aliases for commands)

Key management

File transfers using SFTP protocol

Nice simple design

Feels fairly light on resources

Various light/dark themes to choose from

Fairly well integrated into the system

Available as Flatpak and Snap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Termius?

Generally a commercial product

Automatic light/dark theme switching does not work in KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland) - Requires user interaction with it

It is not open-source; the source code cannot be (re)viewed . . .

There is no official RPM package for Termius, only DEB; Can be used mine:

Unsure if the theming fits better into QT or GTK

Confusing & missmatching changelogs - Websites mentions version: 9.10.0 - 2024/12/20, but the latest possible version to obtain is 9.9.0 - 2024/12/05 from the DEB package/Flatpak or Snap.

Prices of the paid features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Termius solving and how is that benefiting you?

None,

It is a great addition to already many other terminals/consoles available for Linux . . . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Termius?

After using the earlier versions, the current iteration is fantastic and provides enough online access to my servers and keys. From a previous install, Termius imports all servers and ssh keys, which is a plus for a barebone operating system reloading/updating. I have set up my Macbook to work with a fine Termius version, so I do not necessarily need the latest version, although there is an auto-check anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Termius?

Termius, while charging people a $29.99/year subscription rate is not that bad, there is sometimes better efforts in the open source community. I use linux predominantly for freelance work as well as browsers like Firefox and Safari, and Termius does not have a presence in the linux communities I inhabit.

After about 20 years in the high technology sector, I spend more time in volunteer and freelance stints. Maybe Termius can do more foundational respresentation to make their profit, but they continue to be trend-setting for most people's work. Good job Termius, for your mainstream users and longer-lasting users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Termius:

To see an iteration of features, look at the historical website posts, or view the github-like archives in various sites around the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Termius solving and how is that benefiting you?

Termius seemed to have matured in its sftp usage and troubleshooting updates, and I have been using the beta version of Termius on macOS primarily. There is a fair amount of work already done with their Apple Macbook, macOS interface. For the mobile device, this version has contributions from Termius's developers that suggest a more refreshed work, such as percentage upload completed and free transfers for established servers for the free version. Well and good, but the ability to monitor the internet speed connection could be more verbose, for those with a limited speed and connection due to personal hotspots and external internet service devices.

What do you like best about Termius?

Termius is simply a requirement for large or even small develoopment teams that need to coordinate remote access. For our team it's even more critical as we deal with both remote access to cloud services as well as multiple remote devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Termius?

I haven't found much to dislike, and I credit that to smart design decisions made by the Termius team. There is NO fluff here. There are some UX improvement opportunities especially in the Host management screen but that is minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Termius solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our problem was having to access multiple deployments of our product across cloud, virtual and physical devices, and termius allowed us to track and share access as well as manage access easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it for organized remote access (connect with one click + I can name and group the hosts) and easy file transfer (GUI file explorer) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Termius?

I've never found so many desirable features in a single software. Centralized credentials? Check. SFTP? Check. SSH? Check. Command snippets!? I didn't even knew that I needed it before Termius. This piece of software has improved my job quality and reduced the tediousness of managing multiple across multiple providers.

I've been using this software daily for the last two and half years, and I will keep using it and paying the annual plan, it's worth every penny.

I've used multiple softwares before, and this one came to replace all of them with incredible ease. It was a joy to implement Termius in my job tech stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Termius?

After a few WindowsOS patchesTermius sometimes get silently uninstalled and have to re-execute the installer in order to use the software again. The other thing that they have been improving is the tab navigation. Now you can opne multiple hosts as tabs in the same software window, but, it only can be done for SSH and not SFTP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Termius solving and how is that benefiting you?

Termius provides lots of useful features in a single package. It's developed by developers for developers. It's easy to use and very very powerful.

What I like the most is the capability of securely store my credentials in order to access the hosts I work with from any platform so I can manage them whenever and wherever I am.

Another feature I really like is the possibility to open multiple SSHs in a single window, that has been one of the greatest upgrades that the software has received in 2024.

Also, from a security governance standpoint, I am able to see when a host has been accessed usig the access history that Termius provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Termius?

La simplicité de son design, ainsi que les nombreux raccourcis que Termius propose et la gestion SFTP, sont vraiment un plus. Cela me change de PuTTY ou d'un terminal classique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Termius?

L'offre pro qui peut être un peu chère pour un utilisateur autodidacte qui gère ses propres serveurs domestiques, mais qui ne voudrait pas avoir à tout retaper manuellement ses sessions d'un setup à un autre. Pourquoi ne pas proposer une offre un peu plus limitée et moins chère ? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Termius?

What I best like is it's sleek interface and the extended features of Termius:

1) The "snippets" is my favorite one, I could not live without it anymore. The snippet feature is a game-changer for efficiency. It allows users to save and reuse command sequences, significantly reducing repetitive tasks. This feature is indispensable for streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity.

2) The "Termius mobile app" is a powerful extension of its desktop counterpart. It enables administrators to manage servers remotely via VPN, ensuring that they can respond to issues promptly, regardless of their location.

3) "SFTP" feature for file transfers between hosts and clients. This capability simplifies the process of managing files across different systems, making it a hassle-free experience.

4) A feature I don't use because I'm alone in the comany, "Personal and Team Vaults". The app offers personal and team vaults for storing credentials securely. This feature ensures that sensitive information is protected while still being easily accessible to authorized users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Termius?

Honestly, I can't personally find any major drawbacks with Termius.

There is one minor aspect that some users have noted on the support forum, the new "Tab Layout". Some users have expressed concerns about the recent change to horizontal tabs in the latest release. Although this change works well for me, it might be beneficial to offer users the option to switch between horizontal and vertical tabs. This flexibility would cater to individual preferences and enhance user experience. If this feature hasn't been implemented yet, it could be a valuable addition in future updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Termius solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clearly the snippets that saves us much time in executing multiple instruction or scripts on several machines. Also the ability to remote management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Termius?

Where you can arrange multiple session windows as you like and use them.Where you can arrange multiple session windows as you like and use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Termius?

It does not remember the state set of multiple sessions laid out, so after each startup, it is necessary to recreate each screen one by one.

If even one session crashes, all displays become invisible due to the reconnection screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Termius solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's very convenient to be able to configure multiple sessions, such as routers, OS, NAS systems, etc., all in one screen at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Termius?

I love almost everything about it. Few QOL should be added tho Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Termius?

I use termius on windows for many linux instances and i have 3 things that are annoying.

1. When I have a tab of my linux instance opened, GIVE ME an option to right click the tab and SFTP to same instanace . Othewise i have to open SFTP TAB then FIND the instance then CONNECT etc. Really SLOW process.

2. When in SFTP and connected to a server ,for GOD SAKE ALLOW input from keyboard to go AUTOMATICLY into filter so i can search through folder/files normally without clicking.

3. ALLOW for a keybind to be disabled , for some reason i wasnt able to disable a keybind shortcut.

Rest is cool i love it i use it everyday. Thats it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
