![]() ![]() Team members should download the trial version of Jump Desktop for Mac and. $30 isn’t really much money for something I use every day. System Utilities downloads - Jump Desktop Viewer by Phase Five Systems and. If you are on the fence then I’d say just buy it. It makes working on my Mac in a Windows environment so much more pleasant and productive. I don’t have much more to say other than I’m sorry that I didn’t spend the $30 sooner. Jump Desktop always sizes the RDP session correctly to make the best use of my monitor without going full screen. The selection of resolutions was pretty limited and never seemed sized right because sometimes I’d be using an external monitor and sometimes I’m just running native on my 11" MacBook Air. With the Microsoft client, if I didn’t want to run in full screen mode then I was pretty much limited to setting a specific resolution. It is also much better at dealing with my dual monitor setup than Microsoft’s RDP client. With a good system of tags it’s very easy to find the server(s) you are looking for. So I can easily click on the tag group to see all the servers in my lab domain, or I can see a group of domain controllers to see all the domain controllers including both the lab and prod domains. Seriously, with it, you can do anything in the office or while on the go and it will not seem like a compromise. It comes with a set of powerful features you would not normally expect from a standard app of such type. One of the best features is that your RDP connections are organized by tags and each can have multiple tags. When it comes to remote desktop manager apps, Jump Desktop deserves a special mention. It was pretty hard to accept the idea of paying $30 for something when I use Terminals for free on Windows but after the initial purchase I haven’t regretted it. Instead I found myself settling on Jump Desktop. It’s strangley blocked by my corporate proxy server, but it didn’t seem to offer much in the way of managing a large number of saved connections so I didn’t bother trying to download it through other means. I looked a little bit at CoRD but didn’t actually even download it to give it a try. I’ve been using Microsoft Remote Desktop to manage Windows servers from my Mac for a few years now and I finally decided I’d had enough. I just wanted to write up a quick endorsement for Jump Desktop. ![]()
