"Easy set-up, does the job"
Comments: While some services were overloaded during the COVID crisis, there have been no technical difficulties with ISL. The service is robust, intuitive and works well.
Pros: There is very low overhead with this software, users don't need to install anything and remote support can be up and running within half a minute from call.
Cons: Running services or applications with elevated privileges on the remote computer is a bit of a hassle.

"ISL Light has streamlined our business."
Comments: ISL has always been a pleasure to deal with. On the VERY few ocassions we have had an issue it was resolved quickly with knowledgeable support staff. I would highly recommend ISL for 'always on' connections and help desk support. We use the performance details often to help diagnose our clients problems, all integrated into the ISL platfrom. Brilliant!
Pros: ISL Light is easy to implement and integrate into our website and daily business tasks. Our clients like the ability to have transparency when using the software and the tools it enables us as business to help them with.
Cons: A more lightweight client installer would be good but this is a small request as most clients can connect with our instructions over the phone.

"Computer and mobile"
Comments: Overall I dont even think about, its just there and works!
Pros: The web interface gives an easy overview of my access to anytime servers. The mobile app means I can check on everything while on the move, and even login.
Cons: Sending a connection link to clients can be a bit clunky, and there are a few too many Yes, I Agree, Are you sure of options for end-users to trip over. but others are just as bad, to be honest.

"ISL Light"
Comments: We mostly support people in the USA, Denmark, Arab emirates.
Pros: slo support, multiple monitor connect is nice
Cons:
I can not prepare a remote access in advance. I have to open software, generate session ID and then wait a really long time for the installer to tell the customer to download it. Generating link is nice, but I still need to be there at the beginning.
It is really confusing whenever session drops, sometimes it reconnects and writes some data into chat window? why chat window?
Whenever you have chat open and remote and also file transfer it is really hard to manage all those windows.
Audio chat would also be nice.
Connecting to some remote in Arab Emirates can take up to 5 minutes.
Having multiple administrators use the same Session ID would be also a nice feature.

"Audio chat would also be nice. "
Audio chat in an active session is possible.
You can check out the following guide which will show you how to use it: https://help.islonline.com/37390/230353
"Connecting to some remote in Arab Emirates can take up to 5 minutes. "
Long connection times can be caused by a number of reasons (network issues, ports unavailable, ...) If you can reproduce this issue, we can help you see the exact reason why the connections take a long time. You are most welcome to visit our live chat so we can connect to one such computer and check the issue.
"Having multiple administrators use the same Session ID would be also a nice feature."
Since the session code (Session ID) contains a lot of important information about the session, each session code is unique. However, you are able to invite other operators into the session by using the 'Invite operator' option: https://help.islonline.com/37390/166673#invite-operator

"Excelente"
Comments: La experiencia en general es muy buena, no he tenido problema alguno.
Pros: Lo mejor es la facilidad en la implementación, es muy intuitivo y es facil para los clientes.
Cons: A lo mejor lo que se podría mejorar es el tema de las reuniones para poder dar clases, es un poco complejo.
