Overall Satisfaction with ISL Light

ISL Light is the best replacement for Remote Tools like TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc. With the self-hosted solution, you have anything under your own control and there is no sleepless night when one of the big competitors has a data breach like in the past. Also, we have no more such big monthly payments like with the completion products. IISL Light is one of the rare remote tools that supports multi-monitors super easily, which was one of the most important features I looked for.

Pros

  • Super easy self-hosting
  • Extremely user friendly UI
  • Super friendly and helpful online support!
  • Very inexpensive solution

Cons

  • Hard to find something :-)
  • Missing file transfer to remote client over windows drag n drop
  • Sometimes quicker click response of the remote client
  • We save a lot of money because the self-hosted Version
  • No hassle with licenses when you need some more in short-term
  • The user-friendly UI is self-explanatory
Even non-techy people can install ISL Light's self-hosting server, and the clients are super easy to use. The maintenance of the client app is also super easy. Tools like marker, rubber pointer help the support desk people to explain things on the remote side effortless. Features like System information dashboard, which shows all important hardware stats, are very handy.
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.
