"Very convenient and Extremely helpful."
5/5
What do you like best about Help Lightning?

I believe Help Lightning is relatively easy to use. It helps to work with customers who may not be as familiar with our products as much as we are. It helps reduce confusion and makes work easier for me by giving the customer and me a face-to-face experience remotely. In addition, the best part about using Help Lightning is that customers I use this app with always seem to be amazed and impressed when using it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Help Lightning?

One issue that I come across now and then while using Help Lighting is connectivity issues. The app will lag, freeze, and skip now and then due to poor connectivity. The issue may be due to the site's connection, so it is not a fault on the app's part. In addition, the app also seems to have trouble with users who have an Android, which unfortunately reduces the number of customers that could use this app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tim Tyrell-Smith of Help Lightning

Thank you, Andre for taking the time to share your feedback on Help Lightning. That face-to-face experience really does help! As you might expect, we are constantly working to help mitigate any issues relating to connectivity. Concerning Android, we will research if anyone else has reported this and get back with you!

"Powerful merged reality solution that enable remote support by connecting onsite teams to experts"
5/5
What do you like best about Help Lightning?

Easy to install and use. User Interface (UI) is very intuitive and activating Merge Reality is automated while choosing a role. You do not require specific devices as it works fine on Mac, PC, iPhones, Ipad and even Smart Glasses (realwear). The merge reality feature is very efficient to show & demonstrate how to solve the problem. It doesn't require to be intensively trained to use the application and we can also connect external parties for one time call. Every releases improve the user experience. The support team is very reactive and always listen to our feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Help Lightning?

Video recording feature is limited: can not do pause or stop the recording without closing the call. There are some limitations of the solution: no chat feature, only 3 participants, only pictures/PDF can be shared. We know that the team is working to improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple To Use Game Changer"
5/5
What do you like best about Help Lightning?

Besides the great functionality of getting help fast where needed, it is straightforward to use. While Help Lightning gives tremendous and ongoing support, very little is required to start using it and getting the value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Help Lightning?

There is nothing to dislike but any little nuance that might have existed the Help Lightning team continues to innovate to resolve. For example, at launch, you could only have a two-party conversation; now, you can quickly and easily add a third. We use the tool hundreds of times throughout the week and love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time and Money Saving Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Help Lightning?

Help Lightning is a wonderful tool for saving time and money. My company uses it for 1st level technical troubleshooting. Many times, we troubleshoot when using this tool to resolve issues while connected with the customer to get them working immediately, and sometimes, we mail them a part. The tool can save a Technician from driving to the site and can get the customer up and running faster than waiting on a Technician. When we connect to the customers using this tool, they absolutely love the technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Help Lightning?

Nothing that I don't like about this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
