Devolutions' Remote Desktop Manager is a comprehensive platform for teams – with central data sources, permission management and countless integrations. If you only need a fraction of that, NEO RDP Manager bundles RDP, SSH, VNC and PowerShell locally, with no account and no cloud.

No data sources to set up, no account, no syncing: everything lives in an encrypted database on your computer, and the app only talks to your servers.
Connections in folders, search with filters, sessions as tabs, full screen and detaching – NEO RDP Manager focuses on connecting, day in, day out.
Central management for teams, fine-grained permissions, audit features, mobile apps and connections to many third-party systems. For organisations with those needs it's the better fit.
If you come from a simple tool and are just looking for a vault and more protocols, you switch by import without retyping anything.
No. There is no account, no cloud and no telemetry. The app stores everything locally and only connects to your own servers.
It's meant for working alone. Connections can be passed on as an mRemoteNG file, but permissions and shared vaults are what tools like Remote Desktop Manager or Royal TS offer.
