PuTTY vs Royal TSX Comments
Top Negative Comment by EpicLPer · Oct 31, 2022
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.
Negative comment by luptron · Jan 18, 2024
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.

Positive comment by Guest · Nov 18, 2021
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.
