Sys-Aid Review
We use SysAid in IT and within facilities. We use it for ticket management as well as change management, asset inventory and reporting. This product has helped us manage our assets, know the software installed on systems, and the version of that software. It allows us to review it and be sure everyone is current. Our Change Management process is now automated with approvals. Each different Change type may have different approvers and once the sub-category is selected the correct template is used and emails go out to the approvers. It has helped us automate the approval process.

Clunky Budget Software Balloons into Premium Priced Package
We purchased SysAid to manage our help desk tickets, to track our assets, and to create a functional knowledge base for our IT staff to spread collective knowledge and secure knowledge in the event of staff turnover. For now it is used exclusively within our IT department, which includes 5 admins for the system.
- 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.
- The UI feels like they are partway through applying a new, modern design. Different pages have different designs and styles. There are three or four different designs used throughout the product. The various menu layouts and navigation conventions make the site difficult to navigate and become accustomed to.
- In my opinion, the KB editor is terrible and makes our articles look like blog posts from 2001. They also require links to add an image instead of direct uploads; no screenshots unless you have dedicated web storage for images. Even with dedicated storage, uploading to a separate location and then linking to that location is so cumbersome that our helpdesk techs never do it anyway.
- In my experience, the asset feature is so bad that we don't use it and opted for another asset management solution. The scan pulls up very little on all of our IP ranges, and installing the SysAid Agent didn't change that. Also, installing the Agent on our devices is time-consuming even with GroupPolicy and doesn't always work.
- Each way we have turned with SysAid, a fee or upsale has been lurking. Our budget ticketing tool quickly ballooned into a full-price system. Wish we had just gone for a premium service from another vendor in the first place.

Solid, Affordable, IT Managment Tool for the Education Sector
About 10 years ago we deployed SysAid to unify our support helpdesks across 5 academized Schools who, at the time, all used physical books to request IT support. As each school was brought into the Academy Trust we used this opportunity to centralize our newly created support team and utilized SysAid as our IT management tool. SysAId helped us build a support team and underpin it with a solid, affordable communication tool for our end users.
- Provides a user friendly GUI for our End Users
- Provides our Support Team with a solid array of IT management tools
- Affordable solutions to the education sector
- Reporting Suite is developing well but has been difficult in the past to pull data together easily
- The education on-prem product has restricted customizations, branding is limited basically
- Upgrades are multi step, (not rolled up to latest release, multiple version upgrades are required) and this increases our downtime for maintenance
We use Sysaid in our organization to track, measure and provide support to our end-users on IT Business Processes within our organization. We were looking for something that had omnichannel communication and allowed us to access it anywhere. Being able to add automation and being cost effective was a plus. The user community was also something that was nice to see.
- SLA Management of an end-user ticket
- Ease of use
- Asset Management
- Customized Email capability (Being able to send and receive from Company email)
- Better Remote Desktop Support features
- More Asset categories that are no licensed (Monitors, Keyboards, etc...)

SysAid review
I administer and support our users. We also use the service portal. Our problems range from resetting passwords, install programs, install hardware such as printers, mfp, scanners and so on. We use SysAid to track service requests and measure time used from problem begin to problem solution. We are in the middle of the implementation of the Self-service portal, that will take some of the burden off out technitians.
- Tracking
- Messaging of ticket changes
- Ease of use
- Quick to learn

We use SysAid for our ITSM and Asset Inventory. SysAid address our business case of logging incident and tracking to resolution.
Change management team has been able to address audit issue of ability to track changes per ITIL standard. Asset Inventory and CMDB has also be marked out of audit.

Easy to use setup Service Manegment tool
Sysaid is mainly used to formalize our IT Service Management processes. Before sysaid there was no formal process and no insight in our outstanding incidents. We decided to use sysaid as it was very easy to implement but also had some options for customisation. As a plus they have a very responsive servicedesk themselves.
- easy to install \ configure
- easy to use for admins and end users
- most of the configuration is already done
- Many outdated manuals
- Support website
- Better info on add on products especially for onprem installs
We utilize SysAid as our IT Service Desk ticketing tool to help support our business colleagues. All incidents and requests are entered by the business into the application.
- ITSM Ticketing Application.
- Asset Management.
- Password Reset.
- We are finding it difficult to create certain reports that we would like to develop.

Honest Opinion of SysAid
We use SysAid to resolve internal and external IT technical queries. We also use the software for development tracking and software changes. It is also sometimes used for change control procedures. This system has a lot of functionality that we still didn't even touch. We are currently looking at integrating it with our SCCM system.
- Asset Management.
- Automation rules on incidents.
- Can fit into any company with customization.
- Make templates more user friendly to customize.
- Make documentation easily accessible.

Handy ITSM tool
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
SysAid is used as a Help Desk tool, but also as asset management. We
implemented the HelpDesk to enable our users to raise tickets properly
with a trackable tool. With SysAid, we sorted the lack of records we had
and now all users are following the system in order to get something
done.
- Requests workflow
- Asset management
- Incident and requests platform
- [I would like it if the] Due Date [could] recalculate if a ticket has been stopped (awaiting user).
- [The] dashboard could have more options when creating a new graphic.
- [The] end user portal [could offer] the ability to customize more info, like font and adding more images.

Some thoughts on SysAid
I work for a non-profit Healthcare facility with 5 locations. We offer Medical, Dental, Behavioral Health, and Optometry services and we use SysAid for internal IT ticketing needs. The IT staff access SysAid tickets to help our internal end users with any number of IT-related/systems-related issues they might face. We also use the program for inventory tracking of hardware and for adding to the company-wide Knowledge Base. SysAid allows us to effectively triage and manage IT caseloads. It gives us the ability to work with end users in a professional manner and to track all data related to any given issue. It offers a lot more than we actually tap into but we are expanding what we use as we go along...from more informative end-user Self Service portals to more automated Domain password reset capabilities. It is a complete page in terms of Help Desk ticketing systems and it has been a great fit for us. It is also HIPAA compliant and that is a must 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.
- 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.

SysAid for the Aid of the Overworked SysAdmin
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
SysAid helps solve multiple problem areas. First and foremost was the ability to track user issues, and keep IT accountability. There was a very simple ticket-keeping system before, just a level above Excel. Now we can keep track of the tickets, how long they have been open, and [add the] user's response to the tickets. For IT accountability we can see how many tickets each technician has, and the [life] of the ticket, how long it's open, etc. Second, we didn't have an ITAM, and SysAid helped with that. The ITAM portion has helped us identify all of our assets, location, and users. Also, we have the patch management system, which has helped save time in automating this portion of system administration.
- SysAid does a good job with its ticketing for us
- SysAid works well with our AD environment
- SysAid reports have proven very helpful
- Asset Management and discovery
- Help documentation
- Sample setups or templates

My experience using and implementing SysAid
We use it to organize, manage and track help desk cases. As well as manage the inventory and generate different reports. Allows you to have multiple administrators who manage help desk cases and help users with their problems. The platform is used across the entity and end-users have feedback on the handling of their case. We have had no commercial problems.
- Visibility of all support cases that we are asked to attend, making sure we do not lose those cases.
- End user protal customization
- Management and analysis of reports
- IT inventory management
- Satisfaction surveys should be improved
- They should improve the usability of the knowledge base

Great ticketing system for the banking industry
We use SysAid to manage end-users and administrators for multiple departments inside the bank, we solve IT inquiries and incidents and make escalations accordingly. We also use the self-service for windows so end users can unlock and manage passwords by themselves, at the moment we are using SysAid for more than IT solutions, like the legal dept, operations, managing all the PC of the business, and attending clients with their credit card with the workflow this application gives us.
- Ease of use.
- Workflow
- Reports
- Self service plugin on windows.
- Intuitive dashboard.
- Process to upload data on the knowledge database.
- The chat.
- Some reports are difficult to edit.

Simple and Agile
Using SysAid saved us hours of searching for solutions. We can always look back and search for previous tickets to find the same problem we might experience again. It is also very useful to apply and use the filters or to sort the tickets. While the software was a little tricky to set up, the support is amazing. We had a specialist during the onboarding process that helped us with ANY issues.
- This software is very easy to use and streamlines our support desk
- Can be customizable and most important automated.
- Easy to set up, use and user friendly.
- Saved us time and money and let us focus on other tasks with higher priority.
- The integration was easy as we were working through email which allowed us to be more organized and keep track of our workload
- easy to implement and manage, in the years that we have used it, the technical support required to apply changes have been minimal.

Great product and excellent service.
Best user-friendly software!! The overall design can easily be changed as business changes happen. That everything is customizable and automated. No need for more manual work on repetitive tasks and can focus on tasks with higher priority and urgency. Easy to configure, use, and user-friendly. Quick reporting usage and dynamic graphs allow us to present our weekly, and monthly work, numbers to management within minutes.
- The incident and problem management features in SysAid
- SysAid is a great place to integrate ticket creation for multiple departments
- Workflow, customization, and user friendly to Admin and also end-users
- Advanced features are required, and they are currently working on them
- The cost of the product increases with the hiring of more application administrators
- Some fields do not auto-populate such as time

Excellect software and support!
We use the Self Service Portal at our branches/units to submit customers' requests or complaints for our RFHL group. These requests/complaints are addressed by our specialist units to serve our customers, both internal and external. We measure our customer service using due dates and escalation rules. An excellent tool used by management via reporting to track our customer service levels.
- Excellent Customer Service
- Flexiblilty based on our individual needs
- Excellent software
- Wider search capabilities on the SSP
- End Users to be able to view and edit other user's tickets
- Simplier method to build action item templates

SysAid Review
I used SysAid as a HelpDesk system. This product was really great, and allowed us to use SSO with Google Workspace. Also, SysAid has a very nice feature that allows you to make complex queries to assign tickets to specific technicians and groups. This was VERY helpful in being compliant with our SLA.
- Automatic Assigning of Tickets to Technicians
- Filter tickets to very specific info
- Reports are very detailed
- Automatic deployment to Mac's would be nice
- Remote Desktop could have better interface
- Escalation to Tier 2 support could be easier

Functional and easy
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review

Easy to use and configure. We use it for incident and petitions management. The difference between these two is the variety of categories that we can create to have a clear vision of who is responsible for solving and attending and how long he/she should take. We haven't explored their reports much because we connect to its DB with Power BI and developed dashboards to keep track of our SLA. Its DB structure is easy to understand and to use as an input to data analysis software.
- Definition of clear service catalog.
- Record of time of response and time to repair.
- Easy end use templates.
- It does not have the option to select half days for the day with exception of the functioning time.
- Some users get confused with the button apply and save.

Sweet Product
SysAid is used as a helpdesk and knowledge base for the IT Department. It was implemented to replace a very limited helpdesk and ticketing software that could not track time, and projects and did not have any knowledge base at all. Having these basics greatly improves our daily tasks and documentation.
- Creation of tickets
- knowledge base articles
- SysAid agent pulls a lot of detail from pc's
- Projects are not easily documented
- Notes can get lost when applying changes to a ticket
- No all attachments are accepted
May 19, 2022
A very good product for a very good price.
We use SysAid for our IT ticketing system so that users can submit tickets to IT or other departments. We also use SysAid for Asset management; we're able to keep track of all our assets, which users have logged into them, and what software is installed on them. Our organization also uses the patch management feature of the software which allows us to schedule periods of time where patches can be automatically installed.
- User Support Articles
- Self Service Portal
- User ticketing
- Patch managment
- Change Management
- Projects

Loving SysAid is so easy!
I have used SysAid to change our onboarding and out-processing to a workflow instead of a painful paper process. The paper process causing the company hundreds of dollars a week and this is a non-profit organization. The workflows route information to the appropriate departments for maximum efficiency. We also use it for a helpdesk for submitting incidents, and as a ticket system.
- Provides online support
- Knowledge base articles to help with setting up and building workflows
- Support techs are very nice and helpful
- The workflows are extremely time consuming to build
- The filtering for the dashboard doesn't work properly
