Help Lightning for Remote patient care
I use the system to communicate, educate and guide at-home or other remote procedures during patient care encounters. In many cases, the receiver of help does not need to download the app. The virtual presence capability enables me to guide patients in a manner that would otherwise be very difficult remotely. This instills a significant degree of confidence and value into the encounter.
Pros
Simple to use. Ability to start a video encounter using SMS texting. Enables bidirectional video, but also enables me to 'reach into' the task field to guide various procedures. This is unique and not available in any other 'telemedical' solution that I know of.
Cons
Sensitive to network bandwidth due to bidirectional and interactive video. But it is definitely worth the use of bandwidth.

HelpLightning brings science fiction to real life!
HL its a great product and it is unique in the market, it can have thousands of use case all over the world. Hope you'll continue bringing great functionalities to your platform to convert HL in a world leader of videocalls.
Pros
It automatically connects you to a remote expert by simple clicking on a link, there's no need for training cause it has a consumer UX (intuitive and ease to use) as well as literally no implementation costs if you want to use the stand alone application. I also like the fact that the commercial model is so simple that you have a monthly flat rate per user.
Cons
I would suggest to have the possibility to launch a call directly from a remote expert to the phone number of the person who needs help, increasing the overall productivity of both by avoiding sending an SMS and waiting that the remote person clicks on the HL link.

Great product for entering the Merged Reality world
working with techs and customers to explain and troubleshoot CNC control related issues. This quickly gets me over the hurdle of explaining step by step instructions and gives me real-time feedback. i can quickly solve customer issues over HL that would have required e-mail and screenshots over a period of hours.
Pros
Very easy to set up, connect and share with customers
Cons
We don't always have the best signal strength, so connections don't work 100% of the time.
this is a barrier to company adoption, and

Deliver value by maximizing remote support
Help Lightning is truly a customer centric organization. From the initial meeting to implementation their customer success team is along side you sharing best practices. Their team was dedicated to helping us deliver a great go-live and differentiated customer experience. The integration with smart glasses was effortless and provided another level of functionality and savings for our teams.
Pros
HL is simple and easy to use which is critical when using with customers unfamiliar with the technology. It enables a session without end user app download which expedites time to deliver a solution. The merged reality enables side by side coaching while being remote which helped drive additional savings from dispatch avoidance.
Cons
Enabling translations to further extend product globally would be helpful although the user interface is self-explanatory.

Meets All Needs for Remote Instruction
Pros
I have used Help Lightning for 3 large research projects in the last 4 years and find it to be user friendly, reliable, and truly the next best thing to being one-on-one with the person on the other end of the help session. We have successfully used help lightning to provide instruction to adults ages 18-70+ and will continue to use this product to educate and instruct.
Cons
We has a few issues with connection very early on, but in the past 2 years we haven't experienced any problems at all.

terrific product!
We are using it primarily to help parents install car seats. An expert is in one location, such as a children's hospital, and the parent in another, such as their driveway. Help Lightning is performing beautifully for this task, among others.
Pros
The power of Help Lightning is deceiving. It's capacity to conduct remote teaching, training, repairing, guiding, etc. is truly extraordinary. It's easy to use and especially powerful to conduct complex tasks when two people are in different locations. Wow! Well worth it - should be on everyone's phone, tablet and computer.
Cons
Nothing - very pleased with all it has to offer.
