eStreamDesk
The application's simplistic approach to Web-based helpdesk management makes it simple to use. It avoids unnecessary functionality and has a simple, clear user interface. The only features that are really helpful to businesses are hosted on the platform. This is of great help in minimizing workload, especially if you meant to use it for customer requests.

If you have a very small team that will not expand this might be for you. There is also a free version that works well. Performance and features will work much better in the cloud. Don't get an on-prem version. Also, they are HIPPA compliant, which was a big sell for us.

  • Ease of use for end users creating tickets from their own Self-Service Portal (which is tied into Windows Active Directory so no login is needed).
  • Ease of use and management of tickets by the IT staff.
  • Flexibility. We currently have IT teams associated with a single program, a single department, and all other IT items. SysAid allows us to easily manage this, add to it, change it, etc.
  • Support - SysAid support has remained consistently great throughout the years that we have had the product. That is a fairly rare thing for hosted solutions these days.
  • Expandability. We have a lot more that we can still do with the product and are working on expanding what it can do as we move forward in time. There is a lot to this product overall.

We are SysAid users since 2008 and we will continue to use SysAid years to come. We use SysAid for Asset Management and SysAid and we intend to keep it this way and there is no intention that we will replace SysAid with another system. SysAid has been reliable to use and has helped us with our day to day jobs

SysAid is easy to use and configure. There are some technical components to the configuration, but their implementation of the SysAid system allows for easy self-service. There was only one time that SysAid could not provide a solution to my direct need. We quickly found a workaround. The issue was integration with Microsoft Office 365 when it was first released. The connection between SysAid and Outlook was problematic. It was not long before SysAid had resolved the issue and provided that integration.

I have had nothing but positive experiences working with the SysAid support team. There are multiple pathways to request and receive support, which are all connected with each other. I get an efficient and effective response most of the time and when there is not immediately a good answer, they create a support request to follow up for resolution.

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

I tried several open source tools. The relationship between product quality and effort to set up open source tools, and the acquisition of a server, favor eStreamDesk. The US price is $7 a month per agent. It is perfectly translated into Spanish.

Sysaid had many of the service offerings as the large players had but at a much more cost effective price point. The licensing model was very fair and we felt that the amount of time that we would have to re-invest in the tool was minimal. For example, one of the other solutions we evaluated costed more for the professional services to get up and running then the cost of the product.

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.

Le doy esta calificación porque los módulos que contiene se pueden usar para casi cualquier departamento, tanto gestión de tickets como inventarios de equipos, hemos utilizado una versión gratuita en Ingeniería para gestionar sus tiempos en las tareas asignadas, es lo único que utilizan pero podrían usar fácilmente el módulo de inventario para su herramienta y el módulo de proyectos también
