Secure Global Desktop gave us quite an array of settings to configure for a published application, including limiting the number of concurrent sessions per team or per server. Publishing applications on the server was simple; we especially liked selecting an application from the Start menu and having the rest of the required fields automatically filled in. Of course, if the application you want to publish doesn't appear in the Start menu, you must enter the path to the application manually, a slight annoyance.

For even greater flexibility, the product let us define connection settings and control the client experience by tweaking audio capability, caching and color depth. Connection settings can be assigned to a published application on a group of computers. For example, we published applications at 8-bit color depth to Windows 9x clients, but 24-bit color depth to Windows XP clients.
