ISL Light vs. pcAnywhere (Discontinued)

ISL light is suitable for anyone who plans to provide remote assistance services on a medium to large scale. Due to the high entry price, it is less suitable for consultants with a smaller number of clients or remote stations that need management. Their smallest package in which minutes are rented does not seem suitable for most cases.

Synmantec pcAnywhere is excellent when you require a secure remote connection, and you have enough computational power and internet bandwidth.

• 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

• Sometimes it is too slow
• Consumes too much bandwidth

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.

Everything works well and quickly, and that's all we need. ISL Light always works, and we've never had a situation where the server was inaccessible or the website was down. It simply gives us a 100% guarantee that we can always log in to our customers' systems. We can install the ISL Light client at our customers' sites without any problems, even though security is high.

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!

Multi-monitor handling is super easy with ISL Light. The licensing model of ISL Light's self-hosted version is unbeatable. Great technical support, which often used before I purchased. The unbelievable price increase during and after the covid time of remote tools, has ended, when I found ISL Light. ISL Light is really a underdog in the remote utility market. I'm glad that I found it.

[We chose Synamtec pcAnywhere because] its embedded both-direction encryption exceeds the industry requirements.

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