Cons
"When I needed support for a couple of things, three people intervened. Each time, three people gave me a different answer. In the end, they did not manage to give the right answer.

"They need to better advertise the features.""We miss the possibility to communicate via head-set in ISL. At the moment, we combine ISL for visual communication with Skype for verbal communication.""I would like to have a little bit more information when new features are released. They have added features that I didn't know about in the past. It would be easier for me to implement new features and consolidate them with other systems in our network if I knew beforehand.""It would be helpful if they had iSupport for supporting Apple phones.""I would like to be able to access and manage all brands of smartphones.""There could be a section in the menu describing the new features and changes.""They should improve the integrations with other incident management software to be able to send the link directly from these platforms.""If there is an update or new feature on ISL Online, I don't know about it. I would be happy to receive a newsletter or notification of new features or updates."
