Ferrix suits command-line users on Linux or macOS who want remote session access, snapshots, recording, and multiple windows or panes. Its documented experimental features may also interest users comfortable with unfinished capabilities.
RMUX suits developers who want persistent local terminal sessions or programmatic control through an SDK. Its browser sharing and access roles may also suit people who need to share a pane or session with others.
