Compare Devolutions Gateway vs. Devolutions Powershell Universal

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.

Devolutions PowerShell Universal transforms PowerShell scripts into robust automation solutions, REST and WebSocket APIs, as well as interactive web applications, all managed from a centralized administrative console. It allows users to store, organize, secure, execute, and monitor scripts with features like a browser-based editor, IntelliSense, debugging capabilities, integrated Git support, and a VS Code extension for enhanced productivity. Users can schedule and run jobs based on events using flexible scheduling options or CRON expressions while maintaining the ability to scale across multiple instances seamlessly. Additionally, it enables the creation of internal tools using over 70 UI controls and the exposure of APIs complete with OpenAPI documentation. The platform also provides tools for variable and secret management, in-browser terminal access, role-based access control, and authentication through local accounts, LDAP, SAML, or OpenID Connect. It supports both PowerShell 7 and Windows PowerShell, along with various modules such as Azure, Microsoft Graph, Exchange Online, and VMware. The solution can be hosted cross-platform, whether on-premises, on AWS or Azure, in IIS, or even on a Raspberry Pi. Developers can take advantage of a free Developer edition that offers the complete feature set for local development, while a Server license is necessary for production use, contributing to over 40,000 installations. This extensive versatility allows organizations to streamline their workflows and improve operational efficiency effectively.
