Tools for System Administrators

autohotkey

AutoHotkey

AutoHotkey isn’t something you adopt company-wide. It’s something you keep in your toolbox. Quiet, fast, and weirdly indispensable once you’ve made two or three scripts that actually save time. Nobody talks about it much — but those who use it never really stop.

Ansible1

Ansible

Ansible’s not flashy. It’s not “enterprise.” But it’s solid, repeatable, and readable. If you’re the kind of admin who prefers to know exactly what’s running and when — without spinning up a control plane — this is your tool. It won’t scale the world, but it will save your time.

Altap

Altap Salamander

Altap Salamander stays in use not because it looks good — but because it works. It solves file-level problems quickly, handles remote transfers without surprises, and fits into places where other tools either crash, hang, or overcomplicate things. For engineers who still deal with mapped drives, outdated shares, or no-frills environments, this is the kind of utility that earns its place through reliability, not marketing.

anydesk

AnyDesk

AnyDesk isn’t perfect. But when you need to connect now — not in five minutes, not after configuring ssh tunnels — it usually works. That’s why a lot of sysadmins and support folks keep it around. Not because it’s fancy. Because it gets them back into the system before the call even finishes.
