Your day just started and your messaging app is already flooding with incoming tickets. It seems like everyone is having technical difficulties today, but somehow no one is very good at explaining exactly what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, you could\u2019ve popped up from your desk to try and find each end user, or asked them to come down to IT so you could look at their device and truly understand what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In hybrid and remote worlds, that\u2019s no longer an option. Thankfully, organizations have begun adopting web-based, remote access software you can use to quickly identify issues on employees\u2019 devices and fix them from afar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not all of these tools are created equal, and picking the right one can mean the difference between top-tier service and general IT resentment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, we introduce one of these tools, Zoho Assist, review the pros and cons of using it as your primary remote assistance solution<\/a>, and offer a robust alternative: JumpCloud Remote Assist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Zoho Assist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zoho Assist is a remote support software vendor that enables IT or MSP teams<\/a> to deliver secure support via the cloud. With Zoho Assist, companies can support employees located anywhere in the world on any device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations can decide to install Zoho Assist on all company-owned devices to provide unattended access or ask users to download and install the program at the start of a remote support session for attended access. With unattended access, technicians can access any device at any time \u2014 even if users aren\u2019t online or using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other remote assistance tools<\/a>, Zoho Assist allows users to transfer files, use remote desktop protocol<\/a> to screen share, and schedule IT appointments in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
