—John L. Anderson, Raytheon NCS

"What I particularly like about SecureCRT is that it has got a good set of tools that make my life easier. I like the use of tabs for multiple sessions and being able to set up automated log-in scripts which saves me having to remember lots of different IP addresses and passwords."
—Matthew Johnson, SecureCRT & SecureFX user

"I use SecureCRT to make sure I have a secure connection to [my] servers no matter where I'm traveling in the world. Thanks for your outstanding support!"

"Thank you very much for your help; it's nice to know there are real people out there."
—Daniel Bailey, SecureCRT and SecureFX user

"Thanks for creating what is arguably the best SSH terminal client out there. I work with many people who use PuTTY because it's free, but after seeing SecureCRT, there have been more than a few converts. I've been a customer for quite a few years and don't see that changing if the current level of quality continues."
—Stefanie Slamon, Network Engineer

"Thank you so much for processing my feature request. I switched to using CRT/SecureCRT about 5 years ago after a decade with another emulator program, and I'd just like to express my appreciation for continuous improvements to SecureCRT and your willingness to include customer requests."
—Dylan VanHerpen, Field Network Engineer, Verizon Enterprise Solutions Group

"Your U3 version is great. It's just what I need, as I often have to SSH into a piece of equipment away from my desk. Now I don't always have to grab my own laptop. I just have my flash drive with the U3 SecureCRT installed and can use any computer to SSH with all my sessions configured."
—Tom Phelan, Peddie School

"I used to use Putty and then I tried SecureCRT. I found this product worth every dollar I spent."
—Glenn Copeland, zen ink

"I've been with the SecureCRT since CRT and in all that time, aside from a recent re-licensing issue, the product has been so good I've never needed support. I enjoyed working with you recently on getting Kerberos/GSSAPI working. If only all tech support were like yours!"
—Peter Deuel, IT Specialist at a leading global investment banking, securities, and investment management firm

—Greg M. Crist, Jr., Fire Up Media, Inc.

—Chris Davis, Systems Analyst, Digicon Corporation/NEI (Now a SecureCRT user)

—Kevin Autrey, Computer Software Consultant

—Dan Gray, Innovative Solutions

—Andrew Kendall, Senior IPT Networks Support Engineer, Orange PCS Ltd

—Greg Weir, Tucows Content Division

"Knowing our data is secure is one of my top priorities. You can never be too secure. We risk violating the trust of our customers, and exposing them and their personal information to abuse."
—J. Cornelius, Vice President of Operations, Coffee Cup Software
