Is Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) Outdated?
RDCMan creates a single location for IT administrators to organize, group and manage connections, so they can manage multiple desktops. It was designed by the Windows Live Experience team for their internal use. However, RDCMan has some major limitations that IT pros searching for a viable remote connection tool should be aware of. If you are looking for RDCMan alternatives, we recommend you to download Devolutions’ Remote Desktop Manager or mRemoteNG.
