Are there any KVM's that aren't terrible? (lemmy.today)

We've tried ~4 web-interface KVM's, and they are all terrible. The interfaces are all buggy and slow. Frequent disconnects, constantly require reboots, etc.

Has anyone used KVM's that are worthwhile?

Dell’s iDRAC, which I don’t think is technically a KVM

I used Dell iDRAC for years in a previous job and it's great. It's basically Dell's implementation of IPMI.

It totally is a KVM: it's literally a small separate computer sitting inside the server. It even has its own NIC. But it does a lot of other things because it's more tightly integrated with the main system than a KVM is.
