    RustDesk is a remote desktop server and client solution, Royal TS is a management "suite" for already existing connections. Different category altogether.

    Royal TSX does much more than RustDesk. It's like comparing Word and Notepad.

    PuTTY is not really a remote connection management software in the way Royal TS is, which also does RDP, VNC, FTP and many many other things.

    Putty only does a small fraction of what RoyalTS does. I like how RoyalTS allows you to list all your servers, then you can choose how you want to connect ad-hoc (SSH, SFTP, VNC, Telnet, RDP, etc.). I usually connect via SSH to my servers, but occasionally I need to transfer files via SFTP/SCP or test the GUI via VNC or xRDP.

    WinSCP is for managing SSH, (s)FTP and SCP connections, but RoyalTS combines a ton more features than just that such as Websites, RDP, ESXi/vSphere Management etc., this is not a good alternative suggestion.

    This is not even remotely similar! What kind of spreadsheet powers this website...! Better suggestion: Keepass. More secure, truly free, enormously flexible.

    Really good remote management suite, including many protocols and built-in tools. My only complaint might be it was slightly buggy for specific uses, but the support team was very responsive.

    mRemoteNG has most of the features of RoyalTS including ability to RDP to multiple computers in tabs and the same for SSH sessions. The only failing I find is lack of SFTP, no LastPass/Keypass integration, and no tabbed connection to VMware. However, considering that RoyalTS costs $47+ for more than 10 connections, this is a great cost effective solution.
