In short
What is the difference between Anslation Remote and Zoho Assist?
Zoho Assist offers unattended access on Windows and Mac, file transfer, session video and phone apps for technicians; the person you help runs a small download or plugin. With Anslation Remote they type a code in a desktop browser and share a view-only screen, approved and logged. With nobody there, Anslation Remote’s optional agent runs only terminal commands, under an access rule.

Zoho Assist questions, answered.
Does the customer download anything with Zoho Assist?
According to Zoho’s help, a Windows customer runs a small download after entering the session ID, and a Mac customer uses its Quick Support plugin. With Anslation Remote they download nothing.
Does Anslation Remote offer unattended access like Zoho Assist?
Not for screens: every screen session is attended. The optional agent for managed devices can run approved terminal commands with nobody at the device, only where an access rule allows it; it has no screen sharing of its own.
Can I send files with Anslation Remote?
Yes, in a live screen session with a registered device whose policy allows files: a file goes peer to peer between the two browsers and the other side accepts it first. A session started with only a code has no file transfer, and outside a live session no file is sent.
