Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T vs ATEN CS1708i max resolution compared

Who each one is for
Buy the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T for enterprise IP KVM matrix deployments across many rooms and HDMI workstations needing centralized network-routed access, though it is not the pick for small single-room point-to-point extension needs and DisplayPort or 4K/5K workstation resolutions. The ATEN CS1708i is the one to take for eight VGA servers needing local plus browser-based remote console access and remote monitoring with panel array mode, though it is the wrong buy for two admins working on different servers at once (single bus) and remote OS reinstalls (no virtual media listed). It also earns its place with small teams where one admin works the rack at a time. Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder ALIF1104T (8/10): A strong HDMI-based enterprise IP KVM transmitter for buyers already invested in the ADDERLink Infinity ecosystem. Our rating of the ATEN CS1708i (8/10): A capable 8-port Cat5 IP KVM switch whose local and remote users share a single bus, a sensible mid-tier choice for racks that need basic remote access.
