Here's a couple of reasons why Gate One is superior to PuTTY: * Gate One makes temporary network disruptions a trivial inconvenience: If your connection drops (which is sadly very common with business VPNs and home Internet connections) you can instantly resume all your open terminals the moment it comes back online. This also works for when you need to reboot your computer (not that Windows ever makes you do that ;). * Gate One's bookmark manager is vastly superior to PuTTY's built-in session manager. With PuTTY, if you have more than a few "Saved Sessions" you'll have to scroll and scroll to find the one you want and the connection window isn't resizable. Also, you can't attach notes or classify them in any way. Gate One's bookmark manager is so much nicer (and faster to navigate). * Gate One terminals don't clutter up your task manager. I've seen Systems Administrators struggle to find the right window when they have dozens of PuTTY windows open. Some other SSH clients support tabs but those can get out of control just as quickly. Gate One's grid view lets you manage (and find) a large number of terminals very efficiently. * Gate One's session logging/recording, playback, and sharing features. PuTTY supports raw, text-based logging but it is unreliable (if you don't shut down PuTTY properly the log will be lost). Of course, there's other features you might like but I won't enumerate them all here. PuTTY does some things Gate One can't do (e.g. port forwarding) but for most day-to-day stuff Gate One will probably be better. -- Dan McDougall - Author of Gate One
