Overall Satisfaction with SysAid

We use SysAid as a service record management tool. We manage tickets ie. cases raised by different users. We have customized sysaid based on the different categories of cases we receive. Initially, we have been using emails. When there is a issue, the requester raises them through emails and then we communicate by email only. It was very difficult. There was no visibility in the cases resolved we couldn't document all the tickets we had. Hence sysaid came in for the rescue
  • Gives a report of the service record
  • creates a new ticket in sysaid through an email
  • Ability to work as a team and resolve the cases
  • Categorize the different types of issues/cases
  • The user Interface must be improved
  • The emails are triggering a new ticket in place of a response to existing ticket
  • Customize ability must be easily achieved
  • The license cost for each ticket handler is very costly
  • The ability to take dashboads and reports are great
  • It takes some time to create tickets after email
  • Some problems arises while updating the status of the tickets like time lag
The status of the ticket is conveyed to the requester. It is helpful in conveying the current stage of the ticket. The requester will also be well aware of the current status of the ticket. Like whether the ticket has been take up by the process manager or it is in progress. They can also easily communicate using the help of this application.
It was easy after applying all the initial customization to action. The customization part was difficult, getting sysaid licenses for the process manager, adding the categories and initial customization. After that it became easy to manage the overall tickets. We were able to see all the tickets according to the process manager, categories and the status
Jira Work Management needs a difficult customization part. Jira is also a large scale tool. This tool is more complex. It requires more business understanding. SysAid is beginners friendly. Hence we have opted for this tool. For tools like Jira we need a scrum master to organize all the tasks. There is not much visibility in the Jira Software like sysaid.

Yes

It is well suited for organisation with limited case flow. It is useful in small organisations. It is helpful if you have multiple business applications where you receive different kinds of tickets everyday.
The application will be not useful if the users are in large numbers and number of users and tickets are high
