Pros

The stability of the program. No issues with administrator rights etcetera. It always works flawlesly.

Cons

That we tried other products from other vendors. Because we thougt it would be a good idea to test some other products. We shouldn't.

### "Great lightweight tool that puts all the simple features in one place and removes the clutter you don't need often."

September 17, 2025

5.0

From a user perspective, this is a very convenient tool that puts everything in one place. It doesn't get buried amongst all the open browser tabs and makes it easy to find. Setting permissions is a little cumbersome initially, but it's a very convenient tool to use once all that is set up.

Pros

ISL Light is a great alternative to using the web interface. It removes a step and puts all the access that I need on a regular basis in one place. There are extra options in the web interface but since they aren't used often, it's not needed. This gives me a much simpler option and I am able to package the program and deploy through SCCM removing the need for admin rights to install.

Cons

This it nitpicky. I would love to be able to alter the white background and use a custom background and not just change the image. I would also like to be able to remove the computers tab for those that don't need that access.

Reason for choosing ISL Light

BeyondTrust was 4x's the price and complicated to setup and implement. NinjaOne went far beyond our needs. RustDesk being open source had security concerns. Microsoft Remote Help is highway robbery. This product was more expensive than our previous tool, but I have much more faith in it's security.

Hi Robert, thanks a lot for your detailed and valuable feedback! Regarding your request to hide the Computers tab, there’s an option to disable ISL AlwaysOn for selected users. Go to your Web Console, select Administration on the left side. On the right side you will see Settings, select ISL AlwaysOn. Here you can disable ISL AlwaysOn. This prevents users from adding or connecting to unattended computers. The computers are not permanently deleted, so the setting can be reverted. The affected users will also be unable to view the “Remote Access” tab on web pages.

### "It's almost perfect."

May 17, 2021

3.0

Pretty good the sales team were very good the development team could be a bit better at responding to customer needs and issues.

Pros

Hosting the software ourselves is very comforting as we don't have to rely on other servers if it goes down we are to blame. Reading the customer the ID is very nice versus the other way around as it helps prevent errors and gets read at a consistent rate. Also being able to email and transfer the session is very helpful. The software file transfer is the best I've tried much faster than the competitors.

Cons

A couple of things that I wish would be improved would be. When comparing to Teamviewer, ISL is considerably slower; if you have them sitting side by side, you will be able to complete tasks almost twice as fast with Teamviewer. When opening UAC within Windows, there is a considerable delay in displaying the Yes and No prompt that doesn't happen with Teamviewer. Multiple monitors work pretty well, but once you get past three monitors, the software starts to fall apart. It's even slower. Also, sometimes, it won't even show dialog boxes in the large zoomed-out view that exists when using Teamviewer. You won't see all the monitors at once, so you will need to toggle each monitor until you are on the right one. Switching monitors is also a drag as it's also very, very slow to display the content of each individual monitor. I've been told that one of the reasons for ISL slowness is that it is more secure than Teamviewer, and while that might be true, I wish they would give the End User the option to have faster speed/less secure or slower speeds more secure.

Response from ISL Online

June 10, 2021

Hello, the delays you are experiencing in a session where two computers are side by side, in comparison with TeamViewer, is due to difference in how the sessions work. With ISL Online, every session goes through a dedicated ISL server, making such a connection much more secure - in comparison, TeamViewer connections are peer-to-peer, so the session is established directly from one computer to another, with no server inbetween. This opens the session up to potential security issues. In cases where the computers are side by side, you may find the ISL session has a slightly higher delay, however in most cases, where remote computer is not next to the operator's computer, the session should not have any more delay than a TeamViewer session. For the multi-monitor issues you are experiencing - we have created an internal ticket to improve this functionality! You're always welcome to contact us through our live chat at www.islonline.com.

### "ISL Light makes support easier"

September 16, 2025

5.0

I use isl light at work on a daily basis. It's easy to use and easy to guide new users to receive support. It's easy to get connected and I love the feature to get admin privileges and the user just have to confirm it. Always-on function is really good as it provides a backup when VPN's or RDP have issues.

Pros

Remote access works with no hiccups and it works on multiple OS's. The mobile version works well too. Always on is really useful.

Cons

A bit of confusion with login as I have 2 accounts with the same email. Sometimes it scrambles the view when user has multiple monitors.

### "ISL Light Delivers Exceptional Performance and Security"

January 6, 2026

5.0

ISL Light is an outstanding remote support solution. It combines ease of use, strong security, and excellent performance, making it a top choice for professionals who need reliable remote access.

Pros

I really appreciate how simple and intuitive ISL Light is to use. The connection process is fast and secure, and it works flawlessly across different platforms. The performance is excellent, even on slower networks, and the interface is clean and user-friendly. I also like the strong focus on security and privacy, which gives me confidence when working remotely. Overall, it’s a reliable and efficient tool for remote support.

Cons

There’s very little to dislike, but if I had to mention something, it would be that the advanced features can take a bit of time to discover for new users. A more guided onboarding or quick tips could make the experience even better.

Switched from

[TeamViewer ONE](https://www.capterra.com/p/194565/TeamViewer/)

I decided to move from TeamViewer to ISL Light because of the excellent reviews and the positive feedback from other users. Another important reason was that I wanted to support a high-quality Slovenian product. ISL Light offers great performance, strong security, and an intuitive interface, making it a perfect choice for my needs.

September 16, 2025

5.0

A stable and trustworthy solution for remote access and support. Perfect for long-term use in IT environments.

Pros

We have been using ISL Light for several years with a server license. It is very reliable, easy to use, and provides secure remote support without complications. "Stable, secure, and perfect for IT remote assistance."

Cons

The system works reliably, but occasionally mobile support feels less polished compared to the desktop experience.

### "Good remote support system, real value for money"

October 11, 2024

4.0

we are using it for about 3 years now and would not return to what we used before. it helps us saving time a lot, certainly having nearly unlimited permanent agents to quickly unattended take over, help us react very quick and easy on customer questions for support etc.

Pros

We can quickly and easily assist users. We can create isl always on silent installer packages that just require 1 double click to install it on a system, no further config needed. Lets us share connections with co workers. The product most of the times just works, no hassle, just as it should be. No version hassles like competitors or extreme pricing for features. It has an API so we can nicely integrate it in our website so we can create easy ready to go sessions for clients without needing to pass ID's and passwords etc.

Cons

users get warnings about the isl download, they have to confirm downloading an unsafe file... copy-pasting from outside into a session is sometimes troublesome, luckily there is the paste-keyboard type option which always works isl always on agents may sometimes take multiple minutes to show online after booting or rebooting a machine. file transfer could be handier. less fit for Mac,

December 19, 2023

5.0

This is the best, most intuitive remote access software for tech support technicians that service multiple clients.

Pros

Accessing remote devices using ISL is easy. I have the app on my main PC, my laptop, and my phone. Being able to work on a device from my phone means I don't have to be tied to a computer for tech support. Everything works, always.

Cons

When moving devices to groups, and dropping it, the screen refreshes and goes back to the top of the list. If I am moving devices, I don't want to keep scrolling down. Would be nice to select multiple devices and drag and drop to the group. Also, would be nice to create an access password per group. Since I service multiple companies, it would be nice to select group and change password for entire group.

### "Best all round remote dekstop support software"

April 20, 2022

5.0

We primarily use the product for offering remote technical support to our clients and customers. We are an outsourcing IT company, and we provide services and support to various business in the region. When we have the possibility of providing remote support, we use ISL. Because we only have to provide an eight-digit number to our customers, it makes the whole process much easier and faster. Some clients have become so familiar with the product, that they have it already ready when we call them and they only ask, “what is the number”. The icon is also very distinguishable, so it’s easy to explain the customers what to look for on the website or the desktop. The ability to set an “always on” connection is also very valuable, as we don’t have to interact directly with the clients to establish the connection. It also allows for a fast glance at the operation of the systems, to see if they are online or not. The ability to save the computers and categorize them in groups also saves us time. The stability and reliability of the whole system is very valuable and In our many years of use we haven’t had one incident, where we weren’t able to provide remote assistance because of ISL issues. The sessions can also be paused and transferred to another operator, so if one operator has issues, it can be transferred to another technician, without interruption from the client side. Since everyone can see the active sessions, we can also collaborate much easier.

Pros

\- Easy to use for users and operators - Very fast installation and general use - Easy to start a session with users, only 8 digit number needed - Lots of features, RDP, always on, file sharing, recording, etc

Cons

I don't have any real issues with this software.

I really appreciated how easy it was to set up and use ISL Light. The remote access is fast and reliable, and the ability to connect to users without requiring them to install anything was a huge time-saver. I also liked that I can help users with administrative rights.

Cons

Sometimes the connection quality would drop unexpectedly, especially when supporting users with poor internet. It would be great if ISL Light had better optimization for low-bandwidth environments."

Patrik, thank you for your valuable feedback! When supporting users on a poor internet connection, we recommend switching to a lower color depth. The lowest color depth uses only 8 or 64 colors. Learn more about Color depth: https://help.islonline.com/37390/164441

### "Good job !"

December 13, 2024

4.0

My experience is very good so far, and I have nothing to complain about the use I have of this application. Very good responsiveness of the support by the chat. With the development of telecommuting, it was more than necessary to find a good takeover solution in order to be able to solve the problems that some users might encounter. The feedback I got from users after using this solution was very positive

Pros

The possibility of using the "IsAlways On" feature which allowed me to give access to certain service providers on a specific machine without having to open a VPN connection for them which would require more complexity of use. Also the ease of taking control of the colleague's pc to troubleshoot them and the many options and settings possible once connected.

Cons

For the moment nothing really displeased me about isl.

### "This tool have everything our school need"

December 22, 2023

5.0

I recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to the expensive remote connect apps. I used many other remote connection software and did extensive research, and I think this is the top one.

Pros

My experience with ISL Light has been great, especially in terms of its performance and reliability during remote sessions. The speed and stability of the connection were top-notch, allowing me to connect to our computers in distant administrative campuses. Being able to use it on various devices made my work much more convenient. ISL Light's robust features and smooth operation are what I liked most about it.

Cons

I think the design can be improved and there are some ways to be a little more friendlier.
