ITSM

Overall Satisfaction with SysAid

We use SysAid as our ITSM. It has been a big improvement for us in regards to end user interaction with the Self-Service Portal, ticket management and auto categorization. It has also provided us a way to implement work flows and approval processes. SysAid also provides Teams implementation and KB for end users to resolve certain issues themselves.
  • flexibility for set up customization
  • ticket management and auto assignments
  • self-service portal with KB utilization
  • Reporting
  • Mobile App
  • more training to maximize full capabilities
  • remote monitoring and management capabilities
  • quicker mean time to resolution
  • quicker end user ticket submission
  • easier to track and assign tickets
  • easier / multiple forms to communication with end user
Sadly we have not invested enough time into setting up and adding to our KB to support end users solving tickets themselves. Even with the few articles we have, our end users still contact directly. I do see the value of having the ability and we still have plans to utilize that more. As for workflows, they have helped us make the process much smoother and more efficient. It has reduced our time with back and forth communications just to get approval and the info we need. The process is now more automated allowing us to go right into fulfilling the request. We have also been limited in time to implement more workflows but have plans to create more.
Once we got past the implementation, we were very quickly able to automate tickets, schedule patches, set up notifications, etc. Getting through the the implementation was a little challenging for us as we had a few hiccups and it took longer for us to become comfortable with creating workflows and working out the kinks. We crammed the implementation within a month's time as we were late in starting to research alternative ITSMs based on previous contract expiration. I wouldn't recommend doing that.

Do you think SysAid delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with SysAid's feature set?

Yes

Did SysAid live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SysAid go as expected?

No

Would you buy SysAid again?

Yes

SysAid has been great in our management of handling tickets within our Helpdesk but has also allowed us to include other departments. Having work flows has helped us with onboarding and setting up approval process for phones and computers, along with auto prompting end user with additional required info for requests and incidents minimizing the back and forth communication for basic info.
