    ISL Light Remote Desktop Review

    Date: Aug 22 2024
    Summary

    Overall, we have quite pleased even with the limitations above. Access is sometimes very slow or unavailable. This may however be due to a lack of familiarity or due to password safeguards?

    Positive

    Ability to access medical and other records off site. Recently, we were able to access and forward email health records to a Veterinary Emergency Clinic while I was out of town and unable to physically access my office computers.

    Negative

    There are some records that I have been unable to access however.

    My experience with ISL has been positive, with the following advantages

    Date: Aug 22 2024
    Summary

    Despite this, I have been using ISL for 2 years to provide remote support in my company and it has performed exceptionally well

    Positive

    - Security
    - Speed
    - Accessibility
    The speed and management with which it allows access to the equipment, segmenting and being able to record the sessions works a lot as educational content.

    Negative

    However, I have encountered one disadvantage:
    - When the internet connection is lost, the service can take some time to resume

    ISL Light is a smart way for remote access of desktop, making it easy for people to work for a common goal. Productivity by the end of the day improve, and profit follows.

    Positive

    ISL Light is a brilliant software, whose ideas are unique, and easily operational. But on support, a live chat can be better.

    My favourite remote support solution

    Date: Nov 18 2021
    Summary

    I’ve used this for a number of years and install it for all clients as a backup in case they need help. You can direct clients to download the client for ad hoc remote support.

    Positive

    Unlimited unattended access deployments.
    Good value.
    Works across all operating systems.
    Never had an outage.
    Useful admin features.
    Fast and works perfectly with Australian internet speeds.

    Negative

    Unlimited plan and the prepaid minutes don’t have a long expiry if you don’t use it often.
    Mac needs some permissions granting which can be difficult if clients struggle with system preferences.

    Official ISL Light Remote Desktop Response
    Date: Aug 27 2024
    Hi Elliot, thanks for your feedback. Prepaid and cloud license plans have a one-year validity. We agree that the experience with Apple devices could be smoother, but this is regulated by Apple and beyond our control. For the first session with a client, ISL Light will require macOS permissions to view and control the remote desktop. To assist you and your clients, we’ve prepared a guide with screenshots on how to enable these permissions: https://help.islonline.com/19403/2481733

    Good product, wish for another pricing model

    Date: Dec 14 2021
    Summary

    Very pleased with the product and the customer service, my wish for the future is an option to buy fewer minutes, or even better longer "shelf life" for minutes.

    Positive

    Easy to set up.
    Easy to use.
    Responsive.
    Good picture quality.
    Excellent customer service - Customer support very graciously extended the time for my unused minutes (i had quite a lot left after a year, see cons).

    Negative

    Limited options for pricing.
    My use may be an edge case, i find my use is too infrequent to warrant a full year unlimited use, I opted for the 500min "pay per use", and even then found myself at years end with almost 400 mins left.

    Good remote control for admin support

    Date: Jun 12 2020
    Summary

    This is one of the best admin support tools I've used over the past 20 years. Just would be nice to have more than one connection at a time. Two thumbs up!

    Positive

    Secure reliable tool for admin support. Tools are very good too. Support multiple monitors easily.

    Negative

    Would like to have more than one connection per account. It's just too pricey to have the ability to remote control more than one device at a time.

    Our use of ISL

    Date: Jun 08 2020
    Summary

    We use ISL software for quite some years in our company. It is good addition to other remote desktop solutions so we are planning to keep using your solution since it servers our purpose very well.

    Positive

    We liked the flexibility of ISL Team who offered us additional licenses for use during Corona crisis, which helped a lot in process of transforming our company to start working from home.

    Negative

    For administrator we didn't find option to create shortcut on desktop to establish connection to individual computer. Older versions had this feature by default while in new version session expires.

    Great program, for us who have been using it for over 5 years, it is just what we need to support our customers. It is much more affordable than the competition and has the same functionalities.

    Positive

    We have been using it for more than 5 years and whenever we are offered other support and remote management software we try it and it is not as complete as this one with this tight price.

    Great feature set for IT professionals

    Date: Jun 12 2020
    Summary

    ISL Light Remote is the workhorse of our office. We use it every day almost all day and frequently evenings and nights supporting our customers. It also gives us the freedom to access our office computers from anywhere. We really appreciate the simple, fixed pricing and its clean, accessible interface.

    Positive

    We have used ISL for 5 years, so we are highly familiar with it features and quality. Pros include:
    * Flat price with no limit on the number of unattended access installs. We don't have to pay for adding more customer machines.
    * Easy, fast connections.
    * Great compatibility with Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.
    * Control panel is easy to navigate.
    * Ability to give subcontractors controlled access to specific machines.
    * Support is rarely if ever needed. When it is, it is fast and well-informed.
    * Work very smoothly in the office using the desktop control panel app and elsewhere using the web-based control panel.

    Negative

    ISL Online includes at no extra charge its Groop virtual meeting service. It seems clunky, not up to the high standards of the reviewed product, ISL Light Remote Desktop. It is not relevant to the reviewed product, but I couldn't think of any cons for ISL Light Remote Desktop itself.

    A simple and highly advanced remote support concept

    Date: Jun 08 2020
    Summary

    The tool is my best ally when it comes to providing professional remote support. We optimize resources with your advanced chat, since some levels of my support are solved by this means. The meeting module is our best option to hold all kinds of conferences or webinars. And finally, the most important of the points and without taking away from the others, is the security scheme with the tool account.

    Positive

    It is a very simple tool to administer, easy to parameterize and with highly advanced features and concepts to provide the best support performance to internal and external users of my organization.

    Negative

    Sharpness in work sessions.
