Summary

VanDyke’s SSH products are mature, stable, and well rounded, and have good vendor support. The GUI clients SecureCRT and SecureFX both work well. The command-line clients are not as flexible as OpenSSH and Tectia’s, but they cover the basics and get the job done. The VShell server supports some interesting features and is well worth checking out.
