We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is safety.""We can also monitor our systems at any time from practically anywhere.""ISL Online is easy to use. It provides a single platform on which we can do everything, and it's very low maintenance. After installation, you don't need an IT manager or staff to watch over it. It's secure. It's most important for us.""The code can be delivered in multiple ways, including an email with a link for an unattended connection.""We like drawing utilities inside ISL. That helps us mark specific regions on the screen, so that end users know what to focus on.""The solution has a lot of features. It does what it is made to do and that's all we can ask for, really.""Setting up the solution is easy and there's no maintenance involved.""It's much easier to connect with other services, and it's working great. We haven't had any problems."

"Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users. It's for supporting a workstation where you want the person on the other side to see you moving their mouse, and you can work with them.""The most valuable part of N-able Take Control is being able to remotely access your customer's site. You are able to view their network. Once you have it set up, it's always available. N-able Take Control can be used even when other remote access controls have been made."

Cons
"There could be a section in the menu describing the new features and changes.""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.""There have been times during updates when something wouldn't work quite right, however, they are quick with updates and quick with fixes.""They need to better advertise the features.""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.""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."

"The dashboards I do not use because there are issues. The solution monitors your antivirus and other programs but it does not seem to work well.""We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have a pay-per-use license available for 500 minutes within one year for 95 Euros. However, this option is not popular. Alternatively, we can purchase a one-year license for 339 Euros; if we need two licenses, the cost is double, and for three licenses, the cost is triple with a ten percent discount. For 99 Euros a year, we can open multiple sessions on the same computer with a multi-session subscription."
