ISL Light vs. Zoho Assist

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!

We were previously using another remote support solution, but when their pricing increased significantly, we began looking for alternatives. That’s when we discovered Zoho Assist. It offers the same level of functionality and reliability as our previous provider—at a much more reasonable cost. I have already recommended Zoho Assist to multiple other IT professionals.

• 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

Incentivized

• Improve connection times, especially when I'm on the move and the areas that I go to have low bandwidth, which affect the performance of Zoho Assist in my device.
• Allow Zoho Assist to be integrated to other applications
• Increase file transfer limits

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 system works. It is well designed and implemented. If the product didn't work, I wouldn't waste my time or my resources on it, but it does. When I connect to a system, it is as if I am at my clients location, sitting at their keyboard. It just works.

During the entere time of use, I have never come across any availability issues.

High performance!

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.

Support is terrible. Quick to initially respond with the boilerplate "The information provided by you should be sufficient for my development team to analyse this further. I shall also write back to you as soon as I get an update from them on this
regard." And then you will hear nothing more from them. Chase further and you'll get stock responses such as "Our development team are still looking into this," etc.

It was so easy!

Make it easier to deploy mulitple agents for different departments.

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.

We also evaluated Intune remote support offering and TeamViewer. Those two performed worse than Zoho Assist, despite being more expensive, and their multi-platform support didn't match Zoho Assist either. So choosing the latter was a no-brainer for us.

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

• We can now help our customers within minutes. Sending a technician could take hours or even days.
• We can immediately help customers who are stuck and unable to refuel so that they can continue their journey.
• We can now quickly resolve warranty cases, so that it hardly costs us any money.

• Using Zoho Assist has saved us hundreds of dollars in remote support fees.
• The ability to give remote support has not only saved our IT department time and money, but has impacted every department in our organization.
• Remote support has allowed us to keep our IT staffing costs low. Instead of hiring more people to move around and manage the flow across the organization, less people can manage more and "be in more than one place at a time".
