BURSU Connection Manager vs Royal TS

BURSU Connection Manager brings remote connections, credentials, and teams into one workspace. It supports SSH, WinRM, RDP, VNC, AppleRD, Telnet, Serial, Web, FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. Sessions open in tabs with an embedded terminal, SFTP file panel, and remote desktop. SSH tools include chained ProxyJump hosts, local, remote, and dynamic SOCKS5 tunnels, plus tmux sessions that can be rejoined after a dropped connection. Its SFTP manager provides two-pane browsing, drag-and-drop, and queued folder transfers with progress. The app works offline with local storage; an account is needed for sync and sharing. Credentials can be encrypted in a portable AES-256-GCM master-password vault or protected with Windows DPAPI on Windows. Teams can set view, edit, and password-reveal rights by nested folder. Connections can be imported from named connection tools and configuration formats, including OpenSSH config and .rdp files. The desktop app is free to download and use; BURSUcloud sync and team sharing are optional. iOS/iPadOS requires version 17 or newer.

Royal TS is a remote management solution for organizing connections to remote systems. It supports RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet, FTP, SFTP, SCP and web interfaces, among other listed protocols. Integrations include TeamViewer, VMware, Hyper-V, Windows Events, Windows Services, Windows Processes, Terminal Services and PowerShell. Users can share connection documents while keeping personal credentials in a separate private document. Sensitive document data is encrypted, and documents can be password protected or locked. Command Tasks, Key Sequence Tasks and PowerShell scripting can automate repetitive work and document management. Its Secure Gateway uses SSH port forwarding to tunnel supported connection types. Dynamic Folders and Dynamic Credentials can bring in external data and retrieve credential properties when a connection opens. Shared documents can be synchronized through a file share or cloud service such as Dropbox without a SQL database backend. The free Lite plan is limited to 10 connections, 10 credentials and one document. The Single User License costs €49 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription or annual fees; a 30-day trial is also available.
