"It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."
"Setup and installation was simple."
"It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password."
"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."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
"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."
"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."
"Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users. It's for supporting a workstation where you want the person on the other side to see you moving their mouse, and you can work with them."
"The most valuable part of N-able Take Control is being able to remotely access your customer's site. You are able to view their network. Once you have it set up, it's always available. N-able Take Control can be used even when other remote access controls have been made."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service."
"The dashboards I do not use because there are issues. The solution monitors your antivirus and other programs but it does not seem to work well."
