MobaXterm Alternatives for Windows

cmder

Cmder is an open-source replacement for the Windows command-line. It relies on ConEmu , extending it with the power of clink and some great looking defaults including a Monokai color scheme and custom prompt layout.

• Cmder manages local consoles, MobaXTerm manages remote sessions over a range of protocols. While you could use Cmder and then open an SSH from the local commandline, to call it an alternative is a bit of a stretch. Guest • Jul 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Mobaxterm simulations a whole host of protocols and console emulator is only a tiny portion of what it can do. Guest • Mar 2019 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• They do entirely different things. Guest • May 2018 • 15 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree

Alacritty

Alacritty is the result of frustration with existing terminal emulators. Using vim inside tmux in many terminals was a particularly bad experience. None of them were ever quite fast enough. Even so, Linux does have some decent alternatives. For example, urxvt and st give good experiences. The major downside with those options is difficulty of configuration and inability to run on non-X11 platforms.

• 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. Guest • Feb 2018 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree

SecureCRT

SecureCRT combines rock-solid terminal emulation with the strong encryption, data integrity, and authentication options of the Secure Shell protocol. SecureCRT provides secure remote access, file transfer, and data tunneling for everyone in your organization.

• SecureCRT is a good alternative to MobaXterm, because you can run Python, Java or VBS scripts and macros to extend the functionality of the software or to automate repeatedly used functions! Good support in the forum! tiborw • Apr 2018 Disagree   Agree
• It's just an SSH tool. No support for VNC, RDP, X etc... Misses a lot of features as well. Doesn't support much more then the built-in terminal.app on a Mac. Where MobaXterm is soo much more.
