Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager Reviews & Product Details

I use Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager daily for accessing the various 100 plus servers our company manages. It helps me keep them organized and I don't have to remember a bunch of passwords, allowing me to save my default credentials. It's a great team tool, letting everyone access servers using either a service account or their own credentials, and have the up-to-date list all the time. I appreciate the ease of organization and access to multiple servers. I'm able to run scripts against a bunch of Linux servers and update them, access our Windows servers several at a time, and perform maintenance. It gives us a centralized list of servers plus an easy way to connect. The initial setup was very easy as well, simply importing a list of servers from the Microsoft tools.

I do have occasional crashes, but it's rare. And they seem to have improved that in recent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that all of my connection credentials and remote desktop connections are kept in one place, and can easily be linked to each other or shared with other team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that the application takes so long to load the first time it is required each session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Senior Technical Consultant, I’ve worked with countless remote access tools over the years, but Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) by Devolutions stands out as a true powerhouse in the realm of remote connection management.

From the moment you launch RDM, it’s clear that this isn’t just another remote desktop tool—it’s an enterprise-grade solution designed to streamline and secure every aspect of remote access. Whether you're managing a handful of servers or overseeing a global infrastructure, RDM centralizes all your remote connections, credentials, and access controls into one intuitive platform.

Security is paramount in today’s IT landscape, and RDM delivers in spades:

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensures that users only access what they need.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and account brokering add layers of protection.

Integration with top-tier password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, and LastPass makes credential management seamless and secure.

RDM dramatically reduces the time spent connecting to remote systems:

One-click access to over 50 protocols including RDP, SSH, VPN, VNC, and more.

Session grouping by domain, location, or function simplifies navigation.

Offline access and mobile apps for iOS and Android ensure you're never out of reach, even on the go.

RDM isn’t just about remote access—it’s a full-fledged IT management suite:

Detailed logging and auditing for compliance and transparency.

Custom macros and automated workflows to eliminate repetitive tasks.
