"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.
Alternatives Considered: VNC Connect
Reasons for Switching to ISL Light: The 500 minute plan is an excellent deal for occasional support.

"Solid alternative to Teamviewer"
Comments: It was a positive experience for us so far. The software allows us to provide a professionally looking remote support service to mostly new and unknown users.
Pros: We've just renewed our license for the third year. We're using it to provide remote tech support for our customers and it never let us down so far. Our support staff likes working with it. Certainly not looking back to Teamviewer again.
Cons:
Two relatively small issues with it, last time we checked:
1. The chat identifies our staff as "Desk" and there is no way to change this. In TeamViewer we could set our identification to whatever we wanted (We had it set to "Firstname Lastname - Company" for clarity and personal touch).
2. It uses the chat like a log, so everything that happens while we're connected gets logged in the chat, and we feel it's difficult to carry on a conversation with someone with log output cluttering the chat.
Alternatives Considered: TeamViewer
Reasons for Switching to ISL Light: After playing Teamviewer's forced paid updates game for a couple of years we finally left them. Teamviewer is on a very high horse in our opinion and totally lost connection to their actual user base a long time ago. Never again.

"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

"ISL for customer support"
Comments: I have used it for several years now, we use our own server and moved to this product from Logmein because of the pricing structure. We have never looked back.
Pros: It's really quick to get on someones PC from taking the support call.
Cons: I use Linux, and sometimes it fails to display the sub window which means I have to kill and restart it. It may be a Gnome / X-window issue.

"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.

Alternatives Considered: TeamViewer and Microsoft Teams
Reasons for Choosing ISL Light: Me ha gustado que el servicio es español.
Switched From: TeamViewer
