    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.

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