In its independent remote support software review, c’t magazine, the computer magazine with the most subscribers in Europe gives the highest score to ISL Online.  The c’t journalist, Jan Schüßler, points out its ease of use and rich functionalities: »Connection setup and operation are uncomplicated and the functionality is convincing. ISL Online makes it easy for the user looking for help.«

c’t – Magazin für Computertechnik (Magazine for Computer Technology) is a German computer magazine with a sold circulation of about 315,000. With 241,000 subscriptions it is the computer magazine with the most subscribers in Europe.

When it comes to remote assistance, there are a lot of software programs available but not all the options are viable to commercial users. c’t decided to closely inspect various programs and found great differences among them.

Based on strict criteria, eight remote desktop products qualified for the review and were tested by professionals at the c’t magazine: ISL Online, AnyDesk, pcvisit, Remote Utilities, LogMeIn RescueAssist, Nanosystems SupRemo, TeamViewer and VNC Connect from RealVNC.

c’t magazine was testing remote software products for their:

• Settings, such as switching off background image, adjustable transmission quality and adjustable proxy.
• Connectivity features, such as chat, videoconferencing, file sharing, sending Ctrl+Alt+Del, drawing on the screen, common clipboard and transfers, standard connection with admin rights, etc.
• Administration, such as address book for saved connections, invitation email generator, unsupervised access, branding possibility, recording sessions as a video, connection log, team administration, landing URL for ad hoc clients and procedure for the end customer (in standard configuration).

In the end, ISL Online was the only software that received a maximum of two pluses (very good) in both categories: Comfort for remote clients and Functional scope.
