EM-Soft Sistemi’s Challenges
Prior to discovering Remote Desktop Manager, EM-Soft Sistemi’s engineers routinely struggled with several frustrating challenges:
- They had to store credential data locally on a specific computer; if that computer was replaced or there was a problem accessing the information, they had to re-populate the credentials.
- They could not access credential information outside the office.
- All devices had to be used through the sameapplication.
- They had to use a confusing mix of tools for different devices and connection types.
EM-Soft Sistemi tried to resolve these challenges with various tools (e.g. Microsoft products, mRemote, ASG-Remote Desktop, etc.), but they were ultimately unsuccessful. According to Elvis Gustin, Owner and System Engineer at EM-Soft Sistemi d.o.o., “Each of the tools we tried wouldn’t allow us to connect different users with their own unique credentials to the same database. ASG-Remote Desktop wasn’t bad, but we found that the features and functions were limited for what we needed.”
EM-Soft Sistemi’s Solution: Remote Desktop Manager
The EM-Soft Sistemi team discovered Remote Desktop Manager and quickly identified it as the solution they had been looking for. Since implementing it, they have overcome their challenges and are leveraging additional benefits, including the ability to:
- Securely store credentials for different users in a centralized repository.
- Access credential and machine information via the cloud from any desktop, laptop or mobile device.
- Control all switches, firewalls and services from a single console.
- Set permissions for connecting to services and devices.
- Use a single application for all types of connections.
- Work with different requirements and protocols in the same window, e.g. PowerShell, Hyper-V, RDP, SSH, ILO, etc.
- Integrate with other systems in their environment, e.g. ISL Light, Mikrotik, etc.
Elvis Gustin, on his company’s decision to choose Remote Desktop Manager:
“Remote Desktop Manager is ideal for increasing productivity and security. It has become our central tool, and because it’s cloud-based, the information we need is always available.
