Oracle Service is the best fit for companies already using other Oracle products. Though Salesforce Service Cloud is equally good in most aspects, Oracle is once again an ecosystem of products like Oracle EBS where seamless integration is possible. Most of our clients were …
Mainly because of the name Oracle, it's a world leading company backed by a large user community in a broad range of different products. We needed the certainty of good support team behind the product and Oracle could deliver on this much better.
Oracle Service Cloud offers a wide range of communication channels that optimize and innovate the company's communication process and management with our customers.
I was not a part of the company when it was selected. Newer software has come out since but OSC had become so integrated with our ecosystem of software that it would be difficult to get rid of now. It has become more of a necessity than a desire to have. If possible down the …
I was not part of the team to make the selection. I worked as a user of both products, and from that point of view can say that Oracle Service Cloud offers a better GUI.
This is the first time we have used this type of platform, so I cannot really make a direct comparison. We chose this one because the price-to-quality ratio suited us quite well, and, to be honest, we are very satisfied with it. To date, it hasn't given us any problems, and …
I cannot go into details but SysAid's Ai and Automation approach seems to work best for organisation. We particularly liked the Agentic Ai and chatbot features that operate in plain English which is a great solution for our staff and our end users. We also loved the advanced …
We only had a ticketing system that lacked operational visibility. Some company locations in other countries were using Excel files to document tickets. In short, we went from a ticketing system to a complete ITSM solution with centralized administration but with users around …
I hadn't used any of these tools before, so I can't compare them to SysAid. However, I can say that we chose SysAid because of its ease of implementation, its incident management capabilities, its fully configurable AI, and the addition of software license management, which was …
SysAid has much better customization tools for workflow and the ticket form, which were very limited in the competitor product. We had greater online support, and that greatly helped us to customize much faster our environment.
I find SysAid system much better than the Spiceworks cloud version in that you can actually customize it to your company needs. Spiceworks is a great free system, but limited by lack of customizations
The value of SysAid just seemed to be much better than Kaseya. The review was relatively short with Kaseya, but I immediately liked what SysAid offered. The overall capability compared to the costs associated with SysAid made it a great choice.
SysAid is very cost-effective and flexible and integrates ITSM and asset management tools in one platform, reducing the need for separate tools. They have an intuitive interface that ensures a smooth user experience, reducing the learning curve for IT teams. SysAid offers …
Compared to BMC Remedy, SysAid offered a more modern, user-friendly, approach to IT service management. SysAid also provides a more intuitive interface, faster implementation, and built-in automation capabilities that significantly reduce administrative overhead. Tasks that …
There are many items offered on the other platforms that SysAid does not have. However, for a smaller or medium-sized business that needs a simple and easy way to get tickets flowing and allow users to help themselves, this is an excellent way to start.
ServiceNow is a very clean-looking portal and one of the primary IT asset management softwares. SysAid was originally onboarded by another project manager, but the selection came from a much lower cost than other ITSM software. In the future, interface/GUI will be a large part …
SysAid is a decent ITSM based product for the money if you want an application that for the most part can be setup and administered without a dedicated resource assigned to SysAid maintenance.
In my experience, it does not have the full functionality of either Cherwell or …
ServiceNow is lightyears ahead of SysAid. They efficiently use workflows to get everything set up in the system. One prime example is the onboarding and offboarding of employees. You can set up individual approval tasks to add/remove employees from systems. These tasks will …
Oracle Right (Oracle Service Cloud) was an important evolution in the group's ombudsman channel management processes. We brought the Oracle Service Cloud to digitize the processes for capturing and managing the group's ombudsman channel, no longer operating manually (MS Excel).
Oracle Service Cloud (Right Now) brought about an important evolution in the management processes of the group's ombudsman channel, where activities that were performed manually, repetitively and with risk of errors, are now operated by the Right Now platform itself, whether by API, or by automation of the tool.
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.
Oracle Service cloud handles incident management extremely well. It can accept requests from multiple channels. That includes email, website, phone, chat, SMS & some social.
Oracle Service cloud provides a knowledge base that can be used by customers or by agents. It can move consumers to self service for most issues. It also has good feedback from customers and agents so that the knowledge can continue to be updated to push people to more self service.
Oracle has a good consumer portal that can be used as a website or typically is used in conjunction with a main website as a contact center or help center site. This allows the contact center to manage both the knowledge and the request and the interactions with the customers.
Oracle Service cloud is built to provide a turn key solution for CRM/Contact center with some minor configuration. But it also has the ability to be highly customized to meet any companies needs. Much of that work can be done via the configuration options already in the system. It also have a full set of SOAP and Rest APIs for integrating to other systems.
Email integration. End-users can interact with the ticketing system exclusively through email, and admins can message exclusively within a ticket. All communications are linked directly to user accounts including SysAid admin accounts.
Ticket management is very customizable. You can add categories, statuses, action and communication automation, ticket sorting, and much more.
knowledge base links directly to tickets, so repeat issues are easy to solve.
This is only an occasional, user problem; when searching for specific records, at times we receive an error that the maximum size has been exceeded and therefore does not yield any results. This is particularly frustrating when trying to search for a specific street address across several years.
There are still issues with how well the cloud version of SysAid performs. It can be slow at times. It can be offline every so often (very rarely).
There is a lot to learn with this solution so reaching out to their Support is crucial.
Cost. This is not the cheapest solution and cost is not an issue for us, but it might be for some companies. I think it is very reasonably priced and you get what you pay for.
I give this rating to RightNow because I believe that it's a strong CRM (I know RightNow doesn't like this term) product with virtually limitless possibilities. I like how flexible RightNow is, allowing businesses to fully customize it for their needs. I also like that it's cloud based and doesn't require additional local installation and management.
Because through SYSAID is how the operation of all IT is carried out and in this way the performance indicators of the services, systems, operation, trends, workloads, project control and their deviations are known; as well as the requests for changes and requirements that are requested by both users and that is where the system improvement projects are triggered, such as change controls, which by the way are audit topics.
The learning curve is fairly steep; but for something that has this much capability, it's nearly impossible to make it "easy". The layout and organization are at least reasonably intuitive. The hardest part-- the "weakest link"-- is the portal development (where you can build help centers and other end-user pages.) The capabilities there are significant, but the learning curve for that part is especially steep and it takes a fair amount of expertise to be able to update it.
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.
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.
We use a lot of tabs and fields on our incident workspace, which should slow the system down, but it's still quite fast, and we continue to optimize whatever is possible.
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.
Technicians seem to be assessed based solely on how quickly they close the issues. I've had to reopen requests multiple times because they didn't actually solve my problem. Also, when the issue has even a moderate amount of complexity, the technicians often instruct me to "open another SR" to handle the other issue. I'm the customer, I shouldn't have to follow their processes, they should handle that for me. But even when I create the new SR, it seems like their right hand isn't talking to their left - they aren't reading back to the previous issue for context. So I get bounced around a lot, and I have to tell them how to do their job
The support is very good and fast, the attention they offer is always of a very good quality and the most important thing is that they do it in your language. Their attention is not only focused on solving problems but they also keep you informed about courses and articles to improve the use of the tool
Most of our training was given while doing user acceptance testing, and getting the system approved by the market. When ever we were in doubt, our implementer helped us along. Later on we started exploring by our selves.
My team was greatly assisted and trained well. Despite the time zone difference the trainer made every effort to be available during times that were suitable for us and the assistance and help offered was extremely appreciated by my team. A wonderful experience by the team.
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.
Work with a RightNow expert during the implementation. Explain features that would you like to have. Often, somebody who really knows the system can show you what you need to do to achieve the desired results. Where a RightNow support engineer or a consultant might say "the system can't do that," a RightNow application engineer will listen to what you need, and often come up with an alternate path to achieve it
In the initial stage we implement separate SysAid servers for head and branch offices. When we managed to link up our offices via point to point VPN, we manage to console them into one server. All the assets and devices on branch office were divert back to the server in head office
TCS' customers who also selected Oracle Service Cloud over Salesforce Service Cloud and GE's ServiceMax in the Mfg. vertical in which I work, did so because of the robust ability of Oracle Service Cloud and its APIs to integrate with other value-add solutions for manufacturers such as IoT applications, Big Data Analytics, and Field Service applications.
The value of SysAid just seemed to be much better than Kaseya. The review was relatively short with Kaseya, but I immediately liked what SysAid offered. The overall capability compared to the costs associated with SysAid made it a great choice.
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
The employees are much happier with the new portal version of SysAid. There is a higher number of tickets created in the correct category as opposed to gather in the "Other" category
The IT Support group has moved away from the email option in SysAid. This has made it easier on the IT people who no longer have a huge thread of emails and just keep SysAid open.
