Overall Satisfaction with ISL Light

Our whole team uses ISL Light in the past few year years, to support our clients remotely.
We use it in 2 different ways:
  1. On-demand support (sending our clients to our website to enter a support code that our engineers provide them with, which triggers a download of an EXE file for the client to run and allow us to remotely control their computer/ cell phone.)
  2. Un-attendant (we install an agent that runs as a service on some of our clients servers, and we use it as a backup remote-access method, in case our RMM software remote access doesn't work.
  • 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
  • Speed of support team
  • Better security on the un-attendant EXE creation where it must save the password in plain text
  • Speed
  • Ease of use for the clients
  • Ability to connect to different OS including mobile
  • Quick employee training for my staff so they can offer remote support on their first day of employment
  • Quick onboarding of new engineers on our team, in the ISL platform
  • Quick support from our engineers' cell phone/ tablets for un-attendant AND on-demain
  • Supporting clients cell phone issues remotely- saved us lots of hours
The integration that ISL Light has with ISL Pronto was a wonderful reason for us to consider ISL instead of other solutions. Most other providers do not offer seamless access from any device, to any device. For example- our engineer can access FROM his cell phone, into a client's iPhone, to provide remote support and walk-thru to fix an issue with the client's phone.

Great for MSP and IT support teams who need on-demand AND un-attendant solution. Their chat solution (ISL PRONTO) integrates as well and makes it easy to offer CHAT support, and with a click of a button send the client / user a link to allow the tech to remotely connect to the client's PC using ISL Light.
