Reviews of SysAid
Great ITSM platform with great capabilities
Comments: SysAid is the answer to the issue of manual customer management. We utilize it for contract and renewal management, automated responses to customer support questions, and onboarding of new services.
Pros:
The platform's pre-built functionality is excellent for handling support tickets, and it's highly customizable to fit any organization's specific requirements. Having the option to make your own folders and processes is quite useful.
Cons:
There are so many settings and options to configure in this program that we often find ourselves lost. There can be post-update issues on occasion. Since I only have 5 administrators and the bare minimum license, I can't generate nearly enough reports.
Effective Management with Room to Grow
Comments: My overall experience with SysAid has been positive in terms of its core functionalities, such as asset management, work order tracking, and automated workflows for purchase requisitions. These features have significantly improved our efficiency, especially in our small IT department. However, the user interface could be more user-friendly, and we've encountered some challenges with the Self-Service Portal, particularly with the password reset function. While the out-of-the-box experience was decent, we feel there is potential for further enhancements to fully meet our needs. Overall, SysAid has been a valuable tool, but we're looking forward to improvements, particularly in the interface and customization options.
Pros:
What I liked most about SysAid is its strong capabilities in asset management and workflows, particularly how it effectively tracks and manages IT assets by linking Configuration Items (CIs) together. Additionally, the automated workflows for purchase requisitions and work order transitions are highly efficient, allowing tasks to flow seamlessly between team members.
Cons:
What I liked least about SysAid is the user interface (UI), especially within the workflows and Admin Portal, which lacks simplicity and could benefit from a more intuitive design. Additionally, the Self-Service Portal has had recurring issues, particularly with the password reset function not working as intended.
SysAid makes solving our end-users problems easy.
Comments: Great, the staff we work with has been wonderful
Pros:
I think our favorite part about SysAid is the SysAid CoPilot, although it has taken some time for our users to catch one, having the app integrated in Microsoft Teams has been a game changer for our users
Cons:
I think so far asset management, we use several products and none of them do exactly what we want them to do. They are starting to make improvements but, still missing some key features we would need.
Do not use Sysaid unless been forced
Comments: I have purchased Sysaid back in 2019, but I do regret it.
Pros:
Application itself is not bad,it works well from time to time
Cons:
Technical support is below any professional standard

SysAid Review
Comments:
It is user friendly.
Some support agents are very helpful indeed.
There is an issue in note boxes. When someone type a note in the note box an accidently clicks outside of the not box without saving the note, the whole note box disappear. So we have to type the note again. Hope this will be fixed soon.
Pros:
It is easy to handle. Automation saves a lot of time. Also, we can create workflows very easily according to the requirement. It is very advanced. And we can customize them. There are support agents to ask help if we face any issue. Dashboards helps to get a clear and fast understanding about some data.
Cons:
In my personal opinion the prices are on the higher side. Some support agents are not helpful at all. They kept typing same thing over and over again without proving a solution or alternative.
