    Additional Details* Each operator license allows the remote management and support of an unlimited number of INTERNAL endpoints * Each license includes between 10 to 20 manageable EXTERNAL endpoints (based on edition). Additional external endpoint licence is $5 per node per year (volume discount available) * Operator licenses can be purchased on a perpetual or subscription basisISL Online's pricing model considers the number of licenses purchased, which determines the maximum number of concurrent users within the organization. A concurrent user is defined as anyone running one or more sessions simultaneously from any device. There are no restrictions on the number of ISL Light users within a company or the remote devices managed. For example, with three licenses, an unlimited number of people in a company can use ISL Light and can access an unlimited number of remote devices, but only three users can use it concurrently. When one of these three users ends their session, a fourth user can begin their session, and so on.

    This product is a must for any help desk that is supporting an active directory based network. Scope action capabilities also make it valuable to systems administrators etc.

    ISL light is suitable for anyone who plans to provide remote assistance services on a medium to large scale. Due to the high entry price, it is less suitable for consultants with a smaller number of clients or remote stations that need management. Their smallest package in which minutes are rented does not seem suitable for most cases.

    Cons
    Goverlan Inc.
    • Machines must be online for actions to be performed, scopes allow you to rerun them against failed objects only but really a much better option would be for client agent to check in at power on for open jobs.
    • Newest version of Reach is glitchy on Windows 10 requiring the occasional restart of the application.

    • Need a control toggle at least on AlwaysOn. User moves the mouse and you lose all control instantly.
    • Clipboard features are a bit wonky still, and your clipboard seems to get emptied a lot. So if you're trying to copy and paste you might lose something
    • Passwords for the systems are saved per machine, so if you work from multiple devices it can be tricky if you have complex passwords

    We are renew the license for 10 years now and we do not see why would change that. It just gets better with every new version.

    Everything works well and quickly, and that's all we need. ISL Light always works, and we've never had a situation where the server was inaccessible or the website was down. It simply gives us a 100% guarantee that we can always log in to our customers' systems. We can install the ISL Light client at our customers' sites without any problems, even though security is high.

    Not as full featured for Microsoft products but better at cross platform uses. Agent-less option works better in Goverlan.

    Multi-monitor handling is super easy with ISL Light. The licensing model of ISL Light's self-hosted version is unbeatable. Great technical support, which often used before I purchased. The unbelievable price increase during and after the covid time of remote tools, has ended, when I found ISL Light. ISL Light is really a underdog in the remote utility market. I'm glad that I found it.

    Return on Investment
    Goverlan Inc.
    • With a product like this it is entirely possible that you will see large increase in Help Desk efficiency for those who are willing to take the time to fully explore its possibilities.
    • Much more robust that any other remote support product I have used while still extremely cheap compared to competing products. This can bring enterprise level support options to those that may normally not be able to afford it.
    • Reporting features are invaluable to anyone wanting to truly know what is happening on their network.

    • Saves time: able to help our customers right-away. No need to visit them physically
    • Fastest aid in problem-solving: customer happy and more likely to return
    • Negative: not much negativity about ISL Light, although I get even less in-person contact with clients :-)
