Of course, RDM can’t replace Amazon’s cloud console. For example, you can view the status of instances and start or stop instances. It enables you to perform some basic management tasks for EC2 instances in Amazon’s cloud. However, in the RDM version I tested (10.0.15), the virtual machine will be launched in a separate VirtualBox window and not in one of RDM’s tabs. You can then start the virtual machine from the RDM interface. For instance, if you have VirtualBox installed on your PC, you can easily add a particular VirtualBox machine to your RDM Sessions database. Not all the Virtualization sessions are about remote management. RDM supports the most prominent virtualization solutions: AWS Console, Azure Console, Hyper-V Console, Oracle VirtualBox, Virtual Server, Virtual PC, VMware (Player, Workstation, vSphere), VMware Console, VMware Remote Console, Windows Virtual PC, and XenServer Console. I will say more about the powerful credential management features below. In addition, you can manage all your credentials at a central place. Thus, when you open a Web Browser session, RDM can load the corresponding web interface in one of its tabs. Also, in many cases, RDM becomes the shell for your remote connections. The point is that you can organize all your remote management solutions in folders and store detailed information about them in RDM’s database. Many applications can be managed remotely through a web interface, and RDM’s aim is to integrate any thinkable remote control solution into one tool. The Web Browser allows you to specify a URL and your favorite web browser that RDM will launch when you open the corresponding session. HTTP is perhaps an unusual protocol for a Remote Desktop manager. ![]() Here is the complete list: Apple Remote Desktop, Citrix (Web), Citrix ICA/HDX, DameWare Mini Remote Control, FTP/FTPS/SFTP/SCP, RD Gateway, HP Remote Graphics Receiver, Intel AMT (KVM), LogMeIn, Microsoft Remote Desktop, PC Anywhere, Radmin, Remote Assistance, ScreenConnect, TeamViewer, Telnet/SSH/RAW/rLogin, VNC, VPN, Web Browser (http/https), and X Window. Remote Desktop is only one of many remote connections protocols that RDM supports. RDM distinguishes between four different types of sessions: Remote Connections, Virtualization, Cloud Explorer, and Other. What I like most about RDM is that it integrates many third-party applications like VPN solutions, password managers, and numerous remote management tools. Namely, how could they pack as many features as possible into one interface without overwhelming users? The answer is the new customizable user interface that counts like MS Office on Ribbons. ![]() Devolutions, the maker of Remote Desktop Manager, had essentially the same problem that Microsoft had with Office. RDM has so many features that I can only scratch the surface with this article. In this article, I use the abbreviation “RDM” to refer to the Enterprise edition. If you want to know which of the features discussed here are available in the Free edition, check out this comparison table. ![]() The previous Standard edition has become the Free edition, whereas the version I tested for this review is the Enterprise edition. Notice that there are two versions of Remote Desktop Manager.
