Chose MobaXTerm
We did not review anything to compare to this. We had colleagues discover this tool and let us know to try it out. We did for about 2 days and immediately paid for it and several seats.

Chose MobaXTerm
The biggest advantage of MobaXTerm against others is ability to group servers in folders (according to the client, for example) and feature that allows you to connect to all kinds of servers: SSH, SFTP, RDP, WSL,

Also, it is relatively cheap.

Likelihood to Recommend
Apache Guacamole is well suited for providing remote access and controlling administrative servers/devices in small to medium-scale deployments. Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application, to use it you only need any modern web browser. In my opinion, the developers' choice to use Tomcat/Java made the application somewhat heavyweight with too many dependencies. If we manage to resolve the stability issues we would likely use it for employees' access to their workstations company-wide.

Cons
  • We have experienced some stability problems (mostly Tomcat related).
  • The interface could be a little more user-friendly.
  • Certain keyboard shortcuts used by Guacamole GUI are impossible to use in the Firefox browser in out-of-the-box configuration.

The colorful terminal in MobaXTerm is a great feature, especially when reading multiple outputs or logs. These small, colorful highlights could lead to solving network issues or help with troubleshooting. MultiExec feature is a huge feature that only a network engineer with a large organization can appreciate the work it can do and the time it can save when doing big configuration changes on the whole network.
