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 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 Zoho Assist has several distinct advantages over other remote support solutions. Here are just a few ways the platform stands out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zoho Assist can be beneficial for customers that already rely on Zoho tools. But at its core, Zoho Assist is just another tool IT has to learn and manage, adding complexity to an already crowded tech stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides having to manage yet another platform, Zoho Assist customers have also reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n While there are plenty of feature-rich desktop support vendors out there, none of them \u2014 not even Zoho Assist \u2014 are part of an existing open directory platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Except for JumpCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud\u2019s Remote Assist software<\/a> is the only remote support vendor built with an open directory structure in mind that provides IT teams the flexibility to use the systems and protocols they prefer to manage in their environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because Remote Assist is tightly integrated with device management, admins can regularly update devices from afar and monitor identity, access, and password management<\/a> through a single cloud-based console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For IT teams, unified cloud device management<\/a> significantly decreases overhead, allowing them to serve more end users in less time. For MSPs, centralizing this activity into a multi-tenant portal (MTP)<\/a> can dramatically increase reselling margins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike other vendors, JumpCloud Remote Assist also works with all operating systems, empowering IT and MSP teams to help every employee, not just Windows users. And with other unique features like connecting or switching between two or more monitors, copying and pasting from the clipboard, and simple (yet secure) technician authentication and authorization, IT and MSP teams can improve their efficiency and productivity<\/a> while increasing end user satisfaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Curious to see how JumpCloud compares to your current remote support solution? Take it for a spin by signing up for JumpCloud Free today<\/a>, and use Remote Assist for free for up to 10 users and 10 devices for as long as you need until you scale to more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn the advantages and disadvantages of Zoho Assist and explore JumpCloud as a remote access alternative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":84795,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2337],"tags":[],"collection":[2778],"platform":[],"funnel_stage":[3014],"coauthors":[2568],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhat Is Zoho Assist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
