Very stable, no crashes at all. Very responsive interface. I use a version that's provided by work.

Not worth the $99 purchase price. Putty or other free alternatives will do the job just fine.

Summary
SecureCRT works fine by itself. The problem is that it is not compatible with other systems. To get it to connect to a UNIX machine with ssh, you have to convert the public key to the standard form. It is impossible to convert the private key to use with another ssh client. This is a problem when you need to use the public key/private key/passphrase combination on a non-windows computer, since secureCRT only works on windows. This means that although I have both keys on my Mac, I cannot use them to connect to the servers that have the public key, since the private key is not compatible with non-secureCRT products.
