    The UI was not user-friendly, so MobaXterm contain à lot of more features. But MobaXterm is closed instead of mRemoteNG who is open source !

    Most alternatives mentioned here have nothing to do with what MobaXterm provides as features. This is the ONLY real alternative for MobaXterm. And no, i have nothing to do with Royal TSX and i hate that it's not open source.

    It is very similar to MobaXterm at least on Linux. It can save sessions with nice GUI.
