Overall Satisfaction with SysAid

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
  • IT accountability
  • Inventory management
  • Issue tracking
SysAid has always been really quick to resolve and help, no matter if it is in chat or email. They help and check to make sure it is resolved and if there are any concerns that might need to be resolved.

I have never had any issues with their professional services. They were very helpful in setup and getting the product just the way we want.
SysAid was a great choice for us, as it can be cloud or on-prem. One company the investors didn't want anything on the cloud, so we could implement it this way. We also have the option to migrate to the cloud if we need to. SysAid also was quick in putting out [a] resolution for the Log4J vulnerability.
