Compare Devolutions Gateway vs. Pragma Fortress SSH Server

Conventional remote access methods such as VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) often come with challenges, including increased complexity, performance drawbacks, and potential security vulnerabilities. Devolutions Gateway provides a more secure solution: it establishes lightweight, memory-safe tunnels that activate only as required. This is particularly beneficial for overseeing external contractors or remote IT personnel, as it ensures that sessions are transmitted securely without putting backend servers at risk. The Gateway is compatible with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), SSH (Secure Shell), VNC (Virtual Network Computing), PowerShell, among others, all facilitated by just-in-time (JIT) access through pre-approved tokens. Included in the Remote Access Management suite are essential components: Devolutions Launcher for seamless one-click access, Hub or Server for managing and storing credentials, and role-based access control (RBAC) to guarantee that users can only view what they are permitted to see. Additionally, every action taken within the system is meticulously logged. Collectively, these features supplant traditional VPNs with a swift, flexible, and auditable access framework—an ideal choice for organizations that place a high value on both security and user-friendliness. Such a modern solution not only enhances operational efficiency but also fortifies overall cybersecurity measures.
