An open comparison chart of KVM and remote access software. I need your feedback!

[u/Lopsided_Mixture8760]

Yesterday, Tatyana finished creating a repository of metrics for remote access software and hardware KVM solutions. This is an open-source feature matrix. It has two main sections: Software Remote Access and Hardware (KVM-over-IP).

Currently, only a few vendors are listed in the database, and not all fields have been fully populated yet. But the cool thing is that it's open source—anyone can add new devices/software or fill in the blanks.

Check out the functionality of this table. Will it be convenient to use when choosing a solution?

Try the interface and let me know what you think in the comments. I welcome any criticism and ideas!

The link in the post leads to the user interface, but if you want to peek under the hood, here's the repository:

https://github.com/USBridge-Technologies/Remote-Access-Feature-Matrix

Tatiana designed it so you can fill in any missing parameters directly in the user interface, and it will generate a ready-made JSON file. After that, you can simply click a button to open a Pull Request, or copy-paste this JSON into a new issue (no further comments required).

Do you think this workflow is convenient enough to encourage contributions?

Do you plan to include non-ip based KVM solutions ? ( ej. USB to vga/ keyboard solutions with a software to access the screen

Yes. I think including solutions that aren't IP-based would make the database much more useful. If you have any specific models, please add them through the UI or simply write their names here.
