ISL Light vs. N-able Take Control

Perfect for remotely accessing user machines. Better than any of the competitors such as Anydesk etc. Feels a lot safer and the auto rollout makes it perfect for large organisations and small Cannot think of a case when it's less appropriate!

It is phenomenal as a remote service tool, as well as a Teamviewer alternative for end users. But its per device interface is lacking, as well as how technicians are set-up. Once you learn the ins and outs its quite easy to use from both sides. However, it can be a little quirky when initially set-up.

• Take Control is really good at accessing a device with no end-user involvement. The user doesn't have to click on permissions or visit a particular site. We simply can take control of their device from the RMM dashboard.
• If Microsoft issues a patch/update, I can schedule a release of a mass install to all client sites at the click of a mouse from within my office.

• Need a control toggle at least on AlwaysOn. User moves the mouse and you lose all control instantly.
• Clipboard features are a bit wonky still, and your clipboard seems to get emptied a lot. So if you're trying to copy and paste you might lose something
• Passwords for the systems are saved per machine, so if you work from multiple devices it can be tricky if you have complex passwords

• Performance on low-end machines.
• Verbosity when changing stream quality.
• File manager needs improving, dragging files causes graphical issues.
• Connection time needs to be reduced.
• Ability to adjust re-connection time.
• Integration with more password-storage applications.
• Screen blanking is buggy in some instances and makes the session unusable.

We are renew the license for 10 years now and we do not see why would change that. It just gets better with every new version.

It is very easy to use. You hardly need any computer knowledge to learn how to use it, as everything is displayed in easily recognizable icons. Although its appearance does not look cutting-edge, it could have a more modern look, but it must be said that everything is understandable, and with just a couple of taps on each icon that appears, you already know what each thing is for, and it allows you to use it skillfully and fluidly. Everything is perfect in this regard.

The interface needs a lot of updating. It's just too "busy."

We had issues with mouse skipping on mobile devices. Support is immediatly availabe, they examined our case and in one of the new versions of the app this problem was gone.

It was so easy!

In our specific case user console simplicity in ISL light is a major positive for ISL light. ISL always on agent for unattended access is vastly superior to TeamViewer's solution. TeamViewer has become bloated in recent years, changing things for the sake of changing them, rather than improving their offering. One advantage TeamViewer has is a copy-paste file function that does not require the use of cumbersome file transfer tool.

Bad experiences with ConnectWise platforms in general ruled it out for us at this point in time. To be fair this was not really ConnectWise's fault more the team that set things up poorly leading to significant issues across the system. TeamViewer had long been our go to, but pricing increases, the inclusion of ads (in a not inexpensive product) is infuriating for some. and ongoing poor business behavior reports in the industry lead us to look elsewhere

Easy to deploy onto new devices. Ability to group devices so they can managed remotely efficiently.
