Differences for the user according to access protocol?

[Steve92]

Hello,

* Features *

Does NoMachine Enterprise Desktop offers exactly the same features whatever access protocole (NX, SSH, HTTPS) ?

If not, what are the differences ?

* Look & Feel *

Does NoMachine Enterprise Desktop offers exactly the same Look & Feel whatever access protocole (NX, SSH, HTTPS) ?

If not, what are the differences ?

* Performances (fluidity) *

Does NoMachine Enterprise Desktop offers exactly the same peformances  whatever access protocole (NX, SSH, HTTPS) ?

I guess it does not…

Do you have some benchmark results ?

Thanks!

Regards,

Steve.

He Steve92,

Thank you for reaching out; we have an article explaining the the difference between the NX and SSH protocols : NoMachine – What Is The Difference Between The NX And SSH Protocols? – Knowledge Base

Please have a look, and let us know if you have further questions !

Hello

This link deals with reasons for new technical choice and performances but what about features and look and feal from the user side ?

Are there UI differences  depending on the used protocol (NX, SSH, HTTPS) ?

…or is it actually imperceptible ?

I’ve heard from a previous user of NoMachine v6 things like “Connecting from a browser to NoMachine Enterprise Desktop gives terrible performances ! Impossible to copy/paste… “.

I would like to have your opinion before I can test IRL.

Thanks !

Steve.

Hi Steve,

There is no difference in terms of features and UI between NX and SSH. The difference in look and feel is mostly imperceptible.

On the other side, connections from a browser (HTTPS) have some differences, simply because it is not possible to implement some of the featues via the browser (e.g. the forwarding of USB devices).

Moreover, the browser doesn’t allow to use some of the performance-oriented optimizations, that are possible in the native client, so performance and display quality could be slightly worse.

That said, we recommend to try NoMachine in your environment, because that’s the best way to test performances and to see if it corresponds to your expectations and needs.

Thank you for this quick answer.

Do you have an official document describing the differences between !M web player and native client ?

Is copy/paste possible in both directions ? For any content or only text ?

I can’t wait to have my test environment and begin the POC… 😉

Hi Steve,

1/ No, there is no official document that I can sare with you about these difference.

2/ Yes, copy and paste works out of the box, both ways.

Files can also be copied using drag and drop. When using this method, they are dropped on to the ‘other desktop’.

Note that the browser doesn’t allow to have direct access to the system clipboard, so an intermediate copy to a clipbard window is needed. More info about it can be found here.

Once your test environment is set, don’t hesitate to come back to us if needed, through the forums or via our Support section.
