ISL Light review after switching from alternative solutions

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization uses ISL light to provide remote support to our many customers who rely on fast response times and ease of providing remote assistance. ISL light, with its ISL Light Client and its ISL Always On agent, provides all the necessary features to achieve these goals.

Pros

  • Ability to sort customers in their own groups
  • ISL always on agent provides seamless connections to customers remote machines with minimal coordination required between a consultant and remote customer
  • Seamless switching between various user accounts on a customer machine if necessary
  • Ability to establish RDP connections
  • One-click silent install for ISL Always On based on pre-determined parameters (customer, group, password).

Cons

  • Program is lacking copy-paste functionality for data files, only text clipboard can be copy-pasted between two machines. Integrated file browser and transfer tool is insufficient and a hassle to use.
  • Usernames and passwords are not stored for RDP connections, requiring consultant to re-enter them whenever establishing RDP session trough a secure tunnel.
  • Passwords for accessing remote machines are stored only locally and not in the user's account. Requires user to enter passwords separately on every machine they want to establish connections from.
  • Establishing a connection from a windows to apple machine works as it should, however mouse clicks do not register in a consistent way, sometimes requiring multiple mouse clicks to register a command.
  • Mouse 4 and 5 buttons do not work on remote sessions.
  • Keyboard strokes have a noticeable delay even on ultra-fast connections, which is annoying in certain situations when lots of text input is required.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

ISL Light is very reliable and useful.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ISL Light for remote accessing customer machines, which it is absolutely great for. We rely on it over any other remote access software, as it allows us to seamlessly troubleshoot for customers with no issues, including entering admin usernames and passwords.

Customers also find it easy to connect to, and it can be rolled out via automatic policies to user machines.

Pros

  • Remote access with no downsides
  • Entering of admin credentials
  • Seamless connection

Cons

  • Perhaps scaling of the display - some can be quite grainy depending on the auto resolution
  • Otherwise, no other issues!

Likelihood to Recommend

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!
