User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
It is useful in all the cases where users have to work via rdp. The possibility of making available to users only the applications they need is very useful. However, it is less appropriate in environments where there is a need for large computing power such as design studios. It would require a hardware requirement that is too economically high to be justified

We were previously using another remote support solution, but when their pricing increased significantly, we began looking for alternatives. That’s when we discovered Zoho Assist. It offers the same level of functionality and reliability as our previous provider—at a much more reasonable cost. I have already recommended Zoho Assist to multiple other IT professionals.

Pros
  • Detailed management of users or user groups and the applications associated with them
  • Using MS app standard RDP or creating TS Plus runtime
  • license management and updates
Read full review
  • One user's computer screen is black, no task bar and start button, after system crush, Unattended Access help me remote control it and use tools under quick Launch to change system settings and created new account for the user, so she can work few hours later.
  • One user computer need help vpn setup but it is not on Unattended Access list, so I create a temporarily Remote Support session, send the link to him by WhatsApp, after he download and install agent, I can connect and remote control it.
  • Sometimes user computer has randomly happening issue, I will connect it by Zoho Assist, record the remote screen, then will catch the issue and know it's triggered
  • sometimes I use video chat as a meeting tool with users
  • The file transfer by web client is useful for me, most of time is to upload files into user computer when it is not able to access our network drive

Cons
  • The custom client doesn't always work with all applications, I solved it by configuring connections with classic RDP on individual PCs
  • the procedure for activating and renewing the licenses was not very clear to me, I went by trial and error but in the end I was able to activate it
  • nothing else in particular, everything works in a simple and intuitive way

  • Improve connection times, especially when I'm on the move and the areas that I go to have low bandwidth, which affect the performance of Zoho Assist in my device.
  • Allow Zoho Assist to be integrated to other applications
  • Increase file transfer limits

The system works. It is well designed and implemented. If the product didn't work, I wouldn't waste my time or my resources on it, but it does. When I connect to a system, it is as if I am at my clients location, sitting at their keyboard. It just works.

Support is terrible. Quick to initially respond with the boilerplate "The information provided by you should be sufficient for my development team to analyse this further. I shall also write back to you as soon as I get an update from them on this
regard." And then you will hear nothing more from them. Chase further and you'll get stock responses such as "Our development team are still looking into this," etc.

Alternatives Considered
It is much easier to manage and implement. Even if it is not very intuitive the management of licenses is still better than that of the Remote Desktop environment of Microsoft. With Microsoft, the limit is the ability to simply access the remote desktop, while with TS Plus you can manage individual applications so as to give the user only the tools he needs.

We also evaluated Intune remote support offering and TeamViewer. Those two performed worse than Zoho Assist, despite being more expensive, and their multi-platform support didn't match Zoho Assist either. So choosing the latter was a no-brainer for us.

Return on Investment
  • Flexibility in use that allows lean management by the IT manager
  • Wide compatibility with almost all sw
  • Speed ​​in configuring work sessions
Read full review
  • Using Zoho Assist has saved us hundreds of dollars in remote support fees.
  • The ability to give remote support has not only saved our IT department time and money, but has impacted every department in our organization.
  • Remote support has allowed us to keep our IT staffing costs low. Instead of hiring more people to move around and manage the flow across the organization, less people can manage more and "be in more than one place at a time".
