Secure Global Desktop TSE has easy-to-use yet surprisingly comprehensive monitoring and reporting that gave us usage reports for users, clients, servers and applications. With a couple of clicks, we could see which apps had been accessed in the last 24 hours and by whom. For the administrator who's got to have it now, real-time monitoring of current user sessions is available, and we could send messages to users or take control of a user's session using shadowing.

One particularly useful reporting feature was TSE's audit-logging, which logs all changes made to the system, making it easy to see which administrator added and updated applications or changed server settings.

Like Secure Global Desktop TSE, Jetro CockpIT is designed as an enhancement to Windows Terminal Services. And like TSE, CockpIT sports an easy-to-use Web administrative interface and supports load balancing, clustering and Active Directory. CockpIT's ability to manage published applications and control client settings compared favorably with MetaFrame and Tarantella. And as we noted earlier, CockpIT aced our performance tests.
