Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze."
"Initial setup was very straightforward."
"The ability to have all the connection information in one location saves so much time from trying to manage the same information across different applications."
"RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another."
"With the integrated VPN providers you are able to link the VPN entry directly to the session or entire folders, so you no longer have to configure the VPN manually on the machine."
"Makes me instantly more focused on resolving the issue rather than getting to the issue."
"It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password."

"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
