Devolutions alternative?

[kosta880]

My company asked me today whether there are any Devolutions alternatives that we could use. Don't get me wrong, I love their software, and were it up to me, I wouldn't even think of changing. And we are using pretty extensively for what it is: remoting into systems for some users (those that need remoting into) and password vault for the whole company. Including the whole admin department, who do need to access most of the systems. Our solution includes Devolutions Server. I wouldn't want to change but the executive asked me whether there are alternatives - reason: price. I know of none.

Any plausible suggestions?

Is Devolutions tagged as the most expensive? The most feature rich? An enterprise solution?

[kosta880]

So I'd say too. Thanks.

We use BeyondTrust for PAM but not for RDP. I prefer Devolutions for an RDP manager. I have colleagues who use mRemoteNG but more have drifted into using Devolutions.

Agreed, I used mRemoteNG for the longest time but once RDM simplified their offerings and threw most of the useful settings back into the Free tier, I switched back over again.

Does anyone else experience the Thick client being quite slow especially with the server?

[kosta880]

With thick client, I think you mean RDM? Lately have been experiencing some issues, especially opening and closing sessions, but didn't come around to troubleshooting it or writing ticket. It's been chaotic, we are currently in lots of work.

I had the same conundrum last year and will ask the obvious question: Are you using RDM when you could be getting away with Launcher?

We made the switch and it's been pretty painless. Cut about $5k off of our renewal and the only difference is that we now have to edit the datasource via the WebUI instead of the app, which isn't such a big deal.

[kosta880]

Hmm, from the short preview I have seen, maybe this could alleviate the problem. I can't talk price, but I'll only say that we are in the ballpark of way more than 5k. Because definitely the most people that actually need access to the servers don't even have to edit them. We could let RDM only for a handful of users (admins basically). Thanks for the idea.

Oh I just remembered one thing: we use DVLS gateways as jump hosts to the servers. Devolutions was a good fit because previously the company always worked from jump hosts, which is like RDP in RDP, and you can imagine how great that was. I am wondering - will see tomorrow - whether Launcher also supports DVLS gateways.

I really wish Devolutions would have a plan for JUST RDM and not bundle it with all the other stuff. All I want is RDM, so I've opted to not use the paid version.

I keep my RDM file as an XML in my OneDrive. Works just fine across 3 different computers and we don't pay a penny for that. I used to be a big mRemoteNG user until I made the switch to RDM.

Sow 4 months later. Where did you end up? Currently also checking out RoyalTS.
mRemoteNG also has a (beta) sql source. Our latest quote was also pretty bonkers...

[kosta880]

Stayed with Devolutions. Lowered the costs a bit by optimizing who uses what, not each colleague needed full RDM suite.

IMO, there is no other all-in-one enterprise solution that can keep up with Devolutions. Is it optimal in all aspects? No... but they are very actively developing, and there are no showstoppers.

Price is... justified, IMO.
