Pros

  • ISL Client can be automatically downloaded which makes connecting with clients easier

ISL Online -Easy and fast remote access ( Acesso remoto fcil e rpido)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ISL Online as our primary remote access software. In our company, we have several projects, and the feature we use most is the application's groups, which allow us to organize where access will be granted. I frequently use the silent deployment link; we created a GPO that runs a script that executes this link, along with a script that modifies the records to match the company's settings.

Usamos o ISL Online como Software principal de acesso remoto. Na nossa empresa temos vários empreendimentos e a funcionalidade que mais utilizamos é os grupos dentro do aplicativo, que possibilitam a gente organizar a onde será feito o acesso. Utilizo muito o link de implementação silenciosa, criamos uma GPO que roda um script que executa este link, juntamente com um script que altera os registros para ficar nas configurações da empresa.

Pros

  • Quick Access (Acesso rápido)
  • UAC release configuration (Configuração de liberações de UAC)
  • Set a user to reject access. (Colocar para usuário rejeitar o acesso)
  • On-screen message timer (Temporizador de mensagem na tela)
  • Log in directly when the user is not logged into Windows. (Entrar direto quando usuário não estiver logado no windows)

Cons

  • More features for the Deployment Link (Mais funcionalidades para o Link de implementação)
  • Platform customization in the hands of the admin user. (Personalização da plataforma na mão do usuário admin)
  • To make it clearer that the session has ended. (Mostrar mais nítido que a sessão foi encerrada)

Return on Investment

  • Excellent value for money. (Custo beneficio excelente)
  • Easy configuration (Fácil configuração)
  • It doesn't give false positives on computers. (Não da falso positivo nos computadores)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As well as sending invitations on demand, the facility for unattended access is godsend for less technical customers needing help (but have to get on to start with!) Connections are fast and ability to have emails sent for start and end of unattended access sessions can be helpful for billing. Slow client connections may drop but automatically reconnect, so best solution for me needs.

Pros

  • Unattended access
  • Reconnect slow client connection
  • Fast performance

Cons

  • Think I've tried, but cannot remember: ability to remote boot into safe made with networking

Return on Investment

  • Saved time going to remote sites, time travelling and travel costs saved
  • Clients love they can call and have someone sorting out a problem in minutes
