It is built for IT helpdesks, managed service providers, and internal support teams who need to resolve issues fast while maintaining full GDPR compliance and session recording for audit purposes.
Organizations using Zoho Assist typically reduce average ticket resolution time by 50% and eliminate costly on-site visits for issues that can be solved remotely.

This application from the Zoho suite is also included in the Zoho One license.
