Alternative to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac?

Question

When working from Windows, I prefer to use RoyalTS instead of the default Microsoft RDP client, because it allows me to save multiple connections, the credentials of the connection, etc; as well has having more than 1 connection open at a time.

Is there a similar (or any) alternative to the Microsoft RDP client for connecting from OSX to Windows? Aside from VNC, that is; at this point I'm hoping to continue using the RDP protocol.

Solution 1

CoRD is my pick for RDP access on OS X.

Solution 2

Yep, you can use TSclientX, an alternative to RDP Client for Mac OS X.

TSclientX is freeware.

Any diffs in performance?

@P.Bjorklund Not as far as I can tell. It works just like tsclient on Linux, excellent performance.

Setting this as the accepted answer because of its similarity to my favorite Windows RDP app (RoyalTS). Thanks!

Sorry, this is a decent answer but CoRD is closer to what I was looking for. So just a +1.

I'm using CoRD on Lion. Haven't tried it on Mountain Lion.
