Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager. I was looking for something that allowed me to use more than just RDP.

Previously, I used RDPMan for the RDP connections, PuTTY for SSH connections, and a variety of different applications for various activities, such as VMware Client for vSphere Server administration, WinSCP for FTP/SFTP/SCP connections, SQL Server Management Studio for database connections, and Cisco VPN for VPN connections. While many applications still require installation, RDM can broker and manage the connections to individual machines, systems, or locations.

Yes, a folder with several .rdp connection files and PuTTY. 

I switched to have everything in one location with the cloud sync option to save everything across all my work devices.

Was using ASG Remote Desktop but they changed their licensing model to be a subscription with much higher prices and if you stopped paying product stopped working.

We started with Excel.

No.
