GoTo Resolve vs. ISL Light

Go To Resolve is an ideal solution for larger organizations that span multiple offices/locations. In our case, we work for an international corporation that spans across the nation. Our IT department is typically outsourced from the United States, and we have one in-house IT staff member who looks after the hardware concerns more commonly. With the large number of staff working for our organization, we can be demanding in terms of needing technical support. GoTo Resolve has made this much more practical and convenient for our organization.

If a colleague needs reliable, fast, easy to manage and easy to learn remote support software, then this is it. If you need a remote support app that just installs and works, it literatlly can be set up in seconds. Open, offer remote support, get code and send it to the other side. The only time I would not recommend ISL Light is if my colleague need remote connect software just to connect to one non essential machine - like home media computer. For that I would suggest some free software. But as soon you need to connect to couple of computers or much more that ISL Light would be the only recommendation.

• Provides a means to quickly connect and remotely control a client's workstation.

• Allow remote control of Windows, Mac, Android and iOS
• Automatically record support / remote sessions
• Allow UAC easy control remotely
• Auto-recognize the OS of the client, to download the correct remote file for them to execute
• Very fast connection speed (initial connect, and on-going session speed)
• Allowing us to use our own website AND the islonline.net in case there are issues

• User Interface Customization: While Goto Resolve's interface is user-friendly, it has limited customization options.
• Mobile App: Goto Resolve doesn't have a dedicated mobile app, which can be inconvenient for users who need to access the platform on the go.
• Custom Reporting: While Goto Resolve offers various reports, it lacks the ability to create custom reports.

• I would like the chat not to get in the way during the sessions, although it is something not so important if it could be seen better.
• Something in the design does not look so modern, I would like its interface to look more attractive.

I would say yes, we would definitely renew, everyone likes it in the IT dept, and there are more features we have yet to put to use. I am expanding the Windows update / Endpoint features as I get time, and the remote PowerShell console is unbeatable for me at present when facing remote computers that are not letting create a new remote PSSession.

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.

User interface is extremely intuitive. It is very easy to use. No training needed for my technicians. GoTo Resolve has made it easy for me to provide remote assistance to users from anywhere. I was very easily able to get it to run on my smart phone allowing me to quickly solve a IT issue at work while in the middle of a road trip.

Web portal as well as the mobile apps are simple to use interfaces. Nothing daunting about them at all.

Usually available without a problem, although sometimes calls get dropped or users sit in empty meeting rooms while waiting for an admin to arrive, while the call is actually going on.

If you are connected to someone with proper bandwidth, there are no issues at all. With all things, if you connect to someone with dial-up (yes, it still exists), the performance is terrible.

Ive used their tech support a handful of times, and each time they have been able to help me sort out any hiccups or kinks that arise. They have a resourceful knowledge base, and have experts available for training and troubleshooting. I often recommend them to my other coworkers and colleagues because of the ease of use and security

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.

GoToAssist SeeIt was very easy to implement. As long as your techs have a basic understanding of most remote support tools they will be able to understand this product easily.

In NinjaOne, The ticketing system may benefit from additional features like the option to use a custom domain for the support email address, as it is currently rather basic. Additionally, it has issues with correctly displaying photos, either not showing up at all or removing them from emails that are received. Similarly, attachments have the ability to filter what passes through; some attachment objects, like eml files, are dropped. On the other hand, GoTo Resolve offers seamless Ticketing System.

• We managed to work in a way that was impossible before these kinds of tools were offered in the market
• The program is constantly evolving to try to fix bugs and that can affect the day-to-day use.
