Considered Both Products
MobaXTerm
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.
Chose MobaXTerm
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 …
Chose MobaXTerm
The list is not working, but comparing is not so great to other. The great best think of MobaXTerm is the unifing of the various program into one. The organization by folders, the storing of keys, the licence managemnt for teams. I liked much and was a plus it have some server …

Much better product than above. Screen control is more comprehensive, better connectivity through reboots.
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
We basically selected this for our one of the SolarWinds Project. In that we needed to take remote session and screensharing and do the analysis and troubleshooting. In our initial analysis itself we got the excellent result, and it was too quick. We were very much inspired …
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
overall, we have been loyal to Solarwinds Dameware in the past, so moving to Dameware Remote Everywhere w=once it became more mature was a no-brainer.
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
Dameware DRE is a powerhouse tool that in my opinion blows these other products out of the water. Each of these competitors offer great services but at a cost as they require multiple subscriptions or a pay to upgrade to the latest version (TeamViewer). DRE is a simple "one …
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
The overall experience was more enjoyable using DRE over LogMeIn.
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
DRE is in a league of its own.
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
Its integration with Samanage and cost were the key deciding factors over TeamViewer (which can be VERY expensive despite how easy and nice it is to use) and it's just far more functional and less limited than VNC or RDP or Chrome Remote Desktop options or even the screen share …
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere tops Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager and Remote Desktop Protocol. It's feature set far outweighs the competition and is infinitely more secure than RDP.
SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere also allows access to other operating …
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
Teamviewer has better screen sizing - but the connection is not as good. SolarWinds definitely feels more secure and gives me an environment that I feel is more functionally pleasing.
Chose SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
A very similar product, both deliver nearly identical functionality. The interface for Dameware is easier to manage.

There was one project wherein we wanted the fast result, and the deadline was quick for one day. We used SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE) as a virtual network remotely. We took RDP of that and took connection. The result what we got was too quick like within some hours. We showed the same to our clients and received their appreciation once it went LIVE. Thank you so much team for this. Apart from this I never found this less appropriate

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.

Its integration with Samanage and cost were the key deciding factors over TeamViewer (which can be VERY expensive despite how easy and nice it is to use) and it's just far more functional and less limited than VNC or RDP or Chrome Remote Desktop options or even the screen share with Microsoft Teams (which only works when using the installed Teams app). It's important to note the deployment methods are nice and powerful too and support has been great so far.
