Zoho Assist
Zoho Assist is remote support software for attended and on-demand sessions, as well as unattended access. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS, Raspberry Pi, and web browsers. Support tools include screen sharing, multi-monitor navigation, chat, session scheduling, file transfer, and diagnostics. Technicians can initiate on-demand sessions without installing software, and sessions do not require prior downloads. Remote camera sharing offers guidance through smartphone cameras or smartglasses; browser cobrowse supports live guidance with field highlighting and sensitive-data masking, without downloads or plugins. File transfer and session recording are supported. Zoho Assist lists TLS 1.2 and AES 256-bit encryption and recurring security audits. The free plan covers one technician and five devices. Remote Support Standard is $10 a month, billed annually, for two concurrent sessions per technician. Plans can be changed or canceled at any time. Enterprise Support includes 24/7 assistance by live chat or email.
