Centralize, manage and secure remote connections
IT departments are responsible for managing and controlling access to an ever-growing inventory of on-site and off-site servers, computers and devices. Yet relying on multiple remote connection tools and password managers is inefficient, frustrating and unsecure. Instead of being treated to streamlined clarity, IT pros, sysadmins and help desk technicians struggle with ongoing chaos. The solution is to centralize remote connection technologies, remote machine data, password management, and access control on a platform that is secure, scalable, and refreshingly simple to use.
What is Remote Desktop Manager?
Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) centralizes all remote connections on a single platform that is securely shared between users and across the entire team. With support for hundreds of integrated technologies — including multiple protocols and VPNs — along with built-in enterprise-grade password management tools, global and granular-level access controls, and robust mobile apps to complement desktop clients for Windows and Mac, RDM is a IT toolbox for remote access. RDM empowers IT departments to drive security, speed and productivity throughout the organization, while reducing inefficiency, cost and risk.

Active directory integration with Remote Desktop Manager
Remote or in the office, too many IT workers ask the same question how do you organize and securely manage connections?
Instead of late nights tracking down the latest password, what if you had a single solution combining many different connection types paired with automation and strong security? Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) brings your connections, credentials, and critical data together under one roof.
Perhaps your organization uses Active Directory (AD) to manage accounts, so why not make your job easier and integrate RDM with AD? Keep user creation, user management, and folder permission settings in sync.
You deserve less time looking for that password hidden under a keyboard from a long-forgotten employee and more time fixing the latest fire quicker and easier!
Combining Remote Desktop Manager with Devolutions Server
As powerful as Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) is, what if your organization needs enhanced reporting, role-based permissions, and web-based access?
It’s no secret that managing credential and connection access has become complicated with so many remote workers. Protect your organization by using the in-depth auditing and reporting of Devolutions Server to ensure every connection is authentic. Make access easy with a modern web-based console, yet take connection management to the next level when paired with RDM.
Gain peace of mind with the strong security of Devolutions Server paired with the productivity of Remote Desktop Manager. Stop worrying about your password management, and focus on the work!
Combining Remote Desktop Manager with Devolutions Gateway
Does the mere mention of a VPN to your IT department cause anxiety to break out?
As many IT professionals know, traditional VPNs are notoriously difficult to set up and manage. Remote IT workers often need access to only a few resources. What if you could pair Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) with an easy and secure just-in-time (JIT) connection to private network resources without all the setup and overhead a traditional VPN needs?
With Devolutions Gateway, secure RDP, SSH, VNC, and other connections on-demand. Seamlessly integrated with RDM, Devolutions Gateway makes highly secure connections to private resources that are quick to set up and manage!
The automation and seamless credential benefits of Remote Desktop Manager
As an IT professional, does managing, automating, and securing your session and credential management bring on a cold sweat?
Keeping a team in sync is difficult, with an environment having many different endpoints and credentials. Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) centralizes your many connections while saving time with automation through macros and PowerShell scripting. Onboard your entire team, securing resources to only those necessary through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Take control with comprehensive user management with Active Directory integration via Devolutions Server.
Lower the IT attack surface by seamlessly connecting RDM users to endpoints through secure credential injection without ever revealing the password. Then stay on top of your environment through in-depth audits and reports.
RDM offers a flexible IT toolbox that the entire team, management included, can be rest assured will keep your environment safe and secure!

"Remote Desktop Manager and Devolutions seems like a "nerdy" company meaning that it feels like there is not a long way from the end user to the developers. If you run into an issue, you will get quick response from Devolutions. Suggest a new feature and you might see it show up not a long time later. And long release notes with lots of details. I not just love the product but I'm also a big fan of Devolutions themselves. Remote Desktop Manager is very versatile, meaning that it can be configured for a wide range of situations. It can run on many different databases or in the cloud. For each connection you have many configuration options so most things can be configured for your exact needs."
