Azure Bastion vs. ManageEngine Remote Access Plus

Azure Bastion is a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) that provides secure and seamless Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Secure Shell (SSH) access to virtual machines (VMs) without exposing them to public IP addresses. By deploying Azure Bastion within your virtual network, you can connect to your VMs directly through the Azure portal or via native RDP/SSH clients, enhancing security and simplifying remote access management.

ManageEngine Remote Access Plus is an enterprise remote support and troubleshooting solution that enables IT teams and help desk technicians to securely access, diagnose, and resolve issues on remote endpoints from a centralized console. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android devices, with both attended and unattended remote access. Technicians can use built-in tools such as remote command prompt, task manager, registry, device manager, file manager, event viewer, Wake on LAN, and network performance monitoring to troubleshoot issues without being physically present.
