We performed a comparison between ConnectWise ScreenConnect and ISL Online based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very easy to use. Provides connections that are always on. It was nice to be able to see a list of end-points and see whether or not they were connected so I could troubleshoot any network issues I had."
"Remote connect via webpage. I use it to support employees when I am not in the office or when they are at a remote location."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support."
"It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"The most valuable feature is safety."
"We like drawing utilities inside ISL. That helps us mark specific regions on the screen, so that end users know what to focus on."
"Setting up the solution is easy and there's no maintenance involved."
"The code can be delivered in multiple ways, including an email with a link for an unattended connection."
"I personally really appreciate the file transfer feature as it is really easy to use."
"We can also monitor our systems at any time from practically anywhere."
"It's much easier to connect with other services, and it's working great. We haven't had any problems."
"The solution has a lot of features. It does what it is made to do and that's all we can ask for, really."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"What we need this product to do is to be able to control Windows Updates. LogMeIn Central allowed us remote access but also allowed to push and install Windows Updates, and third-party updates... When we made the switch to ConnectWise we lost the ability to do patching. That forced us, for our larger clients, to move to WSUS. We had to set up a VM on those larger clients to push Windows Updates and patches into the network."
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming. They do provide audio conferencing, but seeing the problem makes it easier to solve the problem. If they had video streaming, if a client had a physical problem with something and I couldn't get remote access, the client could use his mobile phone to show me the problem. In these cases, even if a client's systems were down, I could help, so long as I had a mobile phone environment."
"Mobile interface."
"If it had Chrome capability, that would be great; being able to use it on a Chrome device. Right now, I can't use it on my Chrome device."
"There have been times during updates when something wouldn't work quite right, however, they are quick with updates and quick with fixes."
"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."
"They need to better advertise the features."
"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."
"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 be able to access and manage all brands of smartphones."
"They should improve the integrations with other incident management software to be able to send the link directly from these platforms."
