The best of the best. I've been using this in the SecureCRT/SecureFX bundle for years. Yes, it's expensive, but the capabilities are unbeatable for professionals. The scripting and tabbed interface make difficult and repetitive jobs a breeze.
Expensive, but worth it, if you have a need for a full-featured professional product, this is it. I wouldn't be without it. Also, top notch support over the years, and responsive to customer requests for new featured. I've had many I suggested added.
Call me a satisfied user.

Slash the price in half, and this would be perfect. A hundred bucks just for a terminal client software is too expensive for anyone but medium to small businesses.

I've used SCRT for a few years now (since version 4) and will continue to use it. The scripting is absolutely incredible. Imagine having to transfer a file from a one server to a gateway server to an internet ftp site, then to your pc -- a couple of times each day every day. SCRT lets you script that and make into a button.
It's just awesome.

Well, you're right about the speed here and I can also add that the resource consumption are higher than putty's: 15MB vs. 5MB on a fresh connection (minimum lines in the buffer).
Still I'll rate this high because, regardless of the low speed and hight memory requirements, is still the only suitable tool due to better sessions management screen and estra-session automations it provides.
(Is very hard to use putty when working with 195 Unix machines in my case).
4.50 out of 5

I do like SecureCRT features but performance wise I have to agree with TomekLutel. Terminal speed is much slower than Putty, even with fast lines (24Mb).

SecureCRT doesn't come close to Putty, Putty is much faster, try
time cat /var/log/somebiglog
and look at "user time"...
Putty is almost 2 times faster on 1Mb link, no metter of compression settings.
Home and End keys works correctly by default, unlike in SecureCRT.
The same with line wrapping.
Putty wins hands down, and its free.

Works great, as always!

putty doesnt come close, indeed. this is excellent

I bought this. Its the real only option for someone who manages lots of boxes. A bit steep in price, imo, but still deserves 5 stars.

As someone who uses SSH regularly, this program is a must on the Windows platform. Putty just doesn't compare.

Most of my work is on Unix platforms and I rarely get a chance to work on Windows. SecureCRT comes very close to Konsole. But, it has a few bugs with closing connections and tab navigation.

I'm not sure where the above changes for 5.1.3 came from, but those are not what the changelog says.

Basic and unauthenticated HTTP proxy support is a feature of the 5.2 betas.

A buddy of mine uses this daily and swears by it. I've tried it out myself and yea it's good, but considering I need to do this kind of work maybe twice a month, Putty will do for me. This isn't $99 worth of great to me. I'm giving this a ding for the cost alone. It just does not seem justified to me.
