The system is really good at helping manage first-line requests and incidents. There are workflows that can be set up on templates to give direction to the team and help ensure that all the correct procedures are followed. There are some limitations with the system when it comes to Problem and Change management, as it is very ingrained with the normal ticket system. This can lead to a "clunky" change management process.

  • Help Desk Ticketing works well and integrates easily with e-mail. IT staff is immediately notified when a new ticket is created.
  • Device management and inventory is easily tracked within SysAid. A full report is easily generated for a device detailing hardware and software specifics.
  • SysAid Copilot AI is phenomenal. It has been designed with the end user in mind. The user can speak to the prompt in natural language and expect a custom response according to their incident or service needs.

Cons
CloudZero
No answers on this topic
SysAid Technologies
  • The Help tool could use some refining. Particularly indicating the order in which steps must be done. A clear example is the creation of customized fields or lists.
  • Formatting of the ticket. There is no possibility to create dynamic tables, use more than one column. I would want to have more flexibility without having to pay for Professional Services

Here’s your text in natural, professional English:Currently, we are continuously improving our internal AI chatbot within SysAid by feeding our datapool on a daily basis. This is making a real impact on our IT team, as the knowledge base keeps growing and allows us to resolve common incidents and service requests much faster.In addition to that, SysAid helps us manage software licenses and gives us clear visibility of our actual annual costs, which is very useful for tracking upcoming renewals.On the other hand, we would like to see improvements in the reporting area. The interface there feels more basic compared to the rest of the platform and doesn’t offer the same level of depth as other sections.That said, we are really looking forward to seeing how the new Connect module evolves.

Whilst it delivers on most of the features it comes with, I feel Change Management needs a complete re-do as it is really complicated, and think it should be made to be straightforward. For the free services of their Market Place, they should develop a platform where one can just browse for the script (downloaded) and apply the patch, without having to go into various places in code to activate the service. or at least, build the integrations into the system and have [a] section under settings, or even straight from the Market Place, where one can just enable the service, and if required, be prompted to input additional information, including credentials.

Another of the benefits of sysaid is that it is highly available when working in on-premise environments.The only times the system is down is when a restart of the services is required to add a new feature. Apart from that, we have not had any problems.In the case of the cloud, the only condition I have seen where sysaid is not available is because the internet link is down or damaged.

In the case of system performance, I have seen that no matter the number of assets and users, Sysaid responds in the same way and at the same speed. The reports that are scheduled do not have any details because they arrive directly to your email. In the same way, when it is integrated with other systems, for example through the API or by email, we have not seen any failure due to the integration. It works very well with or without integrations.

SysAid support is fast and effective. They support their own product, so they know it well. I can expect a response to my request in less than 24 hours and often in less than an hour. Their sales, customer support, and technical support staff are experts in the area of the support request ticket, so we seldom are transferred to another support agent. Their system is well designed and one of the best of all the applications we use.

The training I received was very good, they gave me tasks to carry out and then they checked what I had done.It was gratifying that the instructor noticed that I had made very fast progress because I had done the implementation myself and it was very fast. At least I remember that after 5 days I had already finished almost 90% of all the implementation tasks.

It is recommended that it be synchronized with the active directory for a better experience, also using the network scanning tools are very useful both to maintain your hardware and software inventory. See all the documentation found on the portal where they suggest good practices for the use of SysAid and exploit it from the first time

Turbonomic is still an onpremise solution. Lacks integration capabilities. CloudZero offers Multicloud Cost management solution through their SaaS platform and the integration is simple for most of the Hyperscaler Platforms. No training is required for deployment and to manage and operate CloudZero platform. Great support from thier customer management team by conducting weekly Meetings with customer.

When we purchase it, the plans were different and mainly we acquired lifetime licenses. in the past year, we migrated to the cloud version. In both cases, the pricing structure was accurate, although they could provide some extra flexibility to pay for exactly what we need in the business.
