Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Well suited to environments where IT staff need to access multiple servers/systems at the same time, cutting down on time wasted opening multiple windows. Not so useful for users that only need to access one system remotely, as most of its functions are largely unused in that case.
Read full review Pros 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 Read full review Easy to organize and group servers. Many different protocols for remote access. The ability to make use of external applications for non-directly supported protocols. Servers can inherit settings from nodes above so you can set up properties once making adding new servers/devices very quick. Easy to export and share config with new team members (be mindful of what you do with passwords though). Read full review Cons 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. Read full review The user interface for configuration is a little basic, and not obvious for a new user to set up connections. It could be a bit clearer how to do that. It does not seem to automatically update itself to new versions - though older ones work fine, you can miss out on some new functions if you don't check for updates manually.

Read full review Usability Web portal as well as the mobile apps are simple to use interfaces. Nothing daunting about them at all.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Never actually needed to use support so have no idea - honestly it's simple enough to use I'd be surprised if anyone really needs support with it.

TeamViewer : The different version (Connection doesn't work if there are different versions running) - No password or such things needed, just a code which is automatically generated - Easy Modus to see UAC-Windows and complete administrative tasks - Stay connected even after a restart - Wide range of options and customization - Easy Interface and super maneuverability
Read full review Every now and then I do look to see if there is any other software that can bring together multiple remote access protocols in a single interface that can contain multiple connections to remote devices with image scaling to mage use of a windowed interface and have yet to find an alternative that does all that but doesn't cost a huge amount. Don't get me wrong I would happily pay for an alternative that could provide an overall better, more convenient experience, but I have yet to find one that has made me think it's worth jumping ship from mRemoteNG.
Read full review Return on Investment Saves time: able to help our customers right-away. No need to visit them physically Fastest aid in problem-solving: customer happy and more likely to return Negative: not much negativity about ISL Light, although I get even less in-person contact with clients :-) Read full review Very easy to hand over connections to new starters. Having multiple remote protocols in one place is a massive time saver. Read full review ScreenShots
