Overall Satisfaction with SysAid

Sysaid is used to track IT help desk tickets. We track open, resolved, closed, and time to resolve tickets. We also use it for our knowledge base articles. We provide employee onboarding and offboarding. We run reports of all tickets that come into the system. We email our users about the current issue they have through Sysaid and help them track the status of their tickets.

Pros

  • Dashboard for tickets.
  • Keeping internal notes.
  • Listing solutions.

Cons

  • Emailing to customers - hard to read emails as out of order.
  • lack of a watch list to add additional IT support personal.
  • category listing not adaptable - third level not choosable till the first two completed.
  • Helps track tickets.
  • Cost is high.
In my opinion, this type of assistance. For the user base, SysAid is complicated and hard to locate information. Just logging a ticket is extremely difficult. For the most part, our user base stays out of SysAid and uses email to start a ticket, as it is easier to do.
We still can't manage assets, so it's pretty poor on that part. We have never used SysAid to manage our assets. Completing tickets is okay. Sometimes, there is no option to choose for a ticket that we are either putting on hold or resolving.
ServiceNow is lightyears ahead of SysAid. They efficiently use workflows to get everything set up in the system. One prime example is the onboarding and offboarding of employees. You can set up individual approval tasks to add/remove employees from systems. These tasks will not be assigned until a system owner approves them. This dramatically increases the speed of getting tasks completed. This also allows us to track system access for audit and SOX requirements. SysAid has none of this.
