What do you like best about XShell?

Multiple Linux Terminals can be connected and viewed in multiple tabs in single Window when is not available in tools like Putty. It is really fast, reliable. One other most liked feature for me is creating duplicate Sessions in Xshell which helps when multiple Instances of same connection needed. It could be useful during System Test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XShell?

Nothing major which I disliked about this tool. It serves the purpose very well.It could be better if auto reconnection is provided when there are network fluctutations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

User friendly Interface for remote connecting multiple Linux Machines simultaneously. Duplicate Sessions helps in System Test and improves productivity. Example: SIP call flow Orig and Term flow need multiple instances of the Terminal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about XShell?

User friendly interface, and have all the must have features as on the standard Unix/linux variants. Good to have tool for windows and especially for people coming from terminal, putty, mobaxterm kind of stuff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about XShell?

One potential issue with Xshell could be its user interface, I find outdated or less intuitive compared to other terminal emulators. Additionally, Xshell's licensing fees feels to be relatively high compared to other similar software. Xshell does not have the features such as advanced scripting or automation capabilities, which could limit its usefulness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
