    CiraSync is well suited to syncing company contacts into the Outlook user's mailbox. This could allow for calling with an IP phone, or from a cell phone. It's also well suited to syncing Calendars and Notes into the Outlook user's mailbox, where they do not already have permission on the calendar. However, to avoid confusion it is better not to duplicate calendars when the user can see them from Outlook.

    I advise my customers to use it for all issue tracking, in business development as well as in business operations. An interface to operational systems is therefor very helpful and enlarges the value of the KronoDesk knowledge base, provided that this information is "open" to all users of all departments.

    Pros
    Cira Apps
    • Share important information with your staff consistently, easily and quickly. Regardless of their geographic location.
    • Friendly, easy to use user interface that makes managing complex rules of which information you want sent to subsets of people very easy to manage.
    • A very responsive support team. They get back to you quickly and you typically have a solution or answer in one iteration.

    • As a system architect I have a clear overview of open issues through clear issue description and assignment to developers.
    • The overview and tracking are most important to me.

    • The possibility to create a system/subsystem/component/interface tree of the system landscape, to be used to more detailed issue associations and subsequent detailed planning and monitoring of issues.
    • A quick issue entry with the most important information would be helpful.
    • A "live" report that can contains my current "hot" issues would be helpful.

    The documentation isn't the most robust. Most support sites are very detailed and easily searchable.

    We tried 4Team Sync2 Cloud and also itrezzo. While we were not able to justify installing a server, installing a cloud app from the Microsoft store was easy and fit our business needs.

    Several freeware/shareware tools like Bugzilla are missing integration with other systems. HP, IBM and CA like systems are too cumbersome and complicated for "normal" users, for me too much "hassle" to monitor issues and related information and links to other issues.

    Return on Investment
    Cira Apps
    • It is difficult to capture specific dollar based ROI in this circumstance. Anecdotally, when it is 3 a.m. and I get an urgent call about an emergent issue at a remote location -- at my fingertips and the fingertips of everyone I work with are the names and phones numbers of our important contacts, site codes that we need to relay to emergency services, and other important information. I don't waste time searching for a piece of paper. I don't worry whether the next person I'm calling has a different site code or phone number. The data is readily available and consistent with all employees.

    • The ROI is reached faster and exponentially higher, depending on the number of users and cooperating business units.
