    Functionality is very limited in comparison. Is like saying an old 2G phone and a Samsung S25 are the same.

    Putty is light weight and runs as a standard for all the platform, so no trouble switching the OS.

    few features are not there as provoking some other software as Citrix or some other web browsers. button for shortcuts are not there. basically the GUI features are missing but that would be the cost for lightweight i guess...

    I have tried all alternatives. Yes Putty stands out for simplicity and speed. But no advanced features. ZOC and Xshell are good but MobaXterm stands out. Its free with minor annoyance and no important features missing. It can be customised and is an all in one place for RDP , SSH ( which I use ) and others. So I regard this as the best alternative.
