The Good
Upon opening pUTTY, immediately can connect to saved session or a non saved host
Multiple instances of pUTTY can be opened at the same time allowing for multiple connections to different machines

The BAD (Continued…)
What is this?? No label
Loads saved settings, does not actually connect
All three always Active (never grayed) -you can save sessions with no Host Name
Where will this take me???

The BAD (oh yes, there’s more….)
????????
Once the open button is pushed there is no turning back….
Even if the Host Name does not exist
If you do successfully connect. Once you close the terminal window putty is gone. You will have to re-open the application.

The Summary
Good for experienced users that have a simple task that they need to get done quickly and often
Bad for users that are inexperienced with the workings of SSH’ing or for users that have a multitude of different connections they need to keep track of.
