Awesome idea, good realization! Easy to set-up, easy to use. Sharing both controls and audio of the connected devices. Never found anything that can replace it. I'm praying for devs to make versions for UNIX and Mac OS.
as commercial tool, there is lot of free alternative that has better functionality than multiplicity
While it works for the most part, it does have stability issues.
Especially the KVM feature is unreliable. Sometimes it works fine and sometimes you only get an image but you're unable to interact with the target system.
Both systems are on the same network, connected using cables. I see no reason why it shouldn't work properly all the time. Especially when transferring the video feed always works perfectly fine.
If you do not need KVM functionality, I highly recommend going for an (often free) alternative.
Primary functions
The good
For a full list of functionalities check their website. These are the ones that I considered useful for my use case and that work well.
The bad
Overall
It's a great software, mixing both KM and KVM functionalities in LAN. But I DO NOT recommend Multiplicity if all you need is a KM mode, or if you need KVM but don't need it to be on the same LAN. Simply because in these cases there are better free alternatives. I DO recommend Multiplicity if you need KVM in LAN.
Site lists free (trial version) as expiring after 15 days, then you need to pay $29.95 for the standard version.
Now it says 30 days, and that is a lie. Mine expired after just 2 days, right after rebooting the PC. Maybe if I hadn't rebooted / closed the software it would keep working for the 30 days, but com'on, who leaves their computers turned on for a month straight?
First one out of all the other alternates that I could get working properly right away after install with no issues so far. The free version does exactly what I wanted to do, use two laptops with one keyboard and mouse between them for a dual display.
