As part of a review of utilities for developers and ALM specialists, I\u2019d like to give a brief overview of Radmin (www.radmin.com<\/a>), a remote support software, since I worked with Radmin for many years.<\/p>\n

In many situations Radmin runs faster than Microsoft RDP, and I find it more convenient for sharing screen than Skype, Team Viewer or other webcast software.<\/p>\n

It enables you to copy and paste from the host\u2019s dashboard you share (but it does not provide a keyboard shortcut like RDP provides \u2013 which makes it not so intuitive. I hope the vendor will improve this in the future).<\/p>\n

It also provides a way to share files among the remote and local host (yes, this is quite similar to FTP).<\/p>\n

For those wondering about the security capabilities \u2013 it provides you with an additional security layer by configuring an independent username and password. Alternatively, you can integrate this with Windows credentials.<\/p>\n

If you work with ClearCase (like many readers), you may find this tool very useful if you\u2019re looking for a simple way of working remotely, while the users connect and do the work with ClearCase on a native (\u201cfull\u201d) client using dynamic and snapshot views.<\/p>\n

We used this many years ago as a simple alternative to MultiSite and Remote Clients (while they have some advantages in other aspects), and we still suggest it to our customers if they need an immediate and very simple solution for a few users. It also works well with cloud machines and virtual hosts.<\/p>\n

It costs USD 50 and is well worth it!<\/p>\n
