Considered Both Products
SysAid
Chose SysAid
Sysaid is a more streamlined overall process than Zendesk.
Chose SysAid
I find SysAid system much better than the Spiceworks cloud version in that you can actually customize it to your company needs. Spiceworks is a great free system, but limited by lack of customizations
Chose SysAid
The ease of implementation and the cost of the product for a small to medium-sized organization like mine.
Chose SysAid
The value of SysAid just seemed to be much better than Kaseya. The review was relatively short with Kaseya, but I immediately liked what SysAid offered. The overall capability compared to the costs associated with SysAid made it a great choice.
Chose SysAid
SysAid is simple to set up and gets online compared to Jira and Zendesk.
Chose SysAid
SysAid is very cost-effective and flexible and integrates ITSM and asset management tools in one platform, reducing the need for separate tools. They have an intuitive interface that ensures a smooth user experience, reducing the learning curve for IT teams. SysAid offers …
Chose SysAid
We found that SysAid was better value for money and had the features we needed in the right package for us.
Chose SysAid
There are many items offered on the other platforms that SysAid does not have. However, for a smaller or medium-sized business that needs a simple and easy way to get tickets flowing and allow users to help themselves, this is an excellent way to start.
Chose SysAid
ServiceNow is a very clean-looking portal and one of the primary IT asset management softwares. SysAid was originally onboarded by another project manager, but the selection came from a much lower cost than other ITSM software. In the future, interface/GUI will be a large part …
Chose SysAid
It was a lot less expensive, easy to use, and has all the features that you will need. Support is great and easy to work with.
Chose SysAid
SysAid is a decent ITSM based product for the money if you want an application that for the most part can be setup and administered without a dedicated resource assigned to SysAid maintenance.

In my experience, it does not have the full functionality of either Cherwell or …
Chose SysAid
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 …
Chose SysAid
SysAid is better than our previous ticketing system in almost every aspect. The only thing our old system did better was time entry for our staff.
Chose SysAid
Better for immediate handling os priority issues but project related activities are better suited to a kanban board presented from devops
Chose SysAid
SysAid offers both cloud and on-premise delivery models, plus different ITSM capabilities and pricing levels from a basic ticketing system, through the help desk, to IT service management software.
Chose SysAid
The Spiceworks cloud helpdesk is a good, free alternative to paid helpdesk options. However, because it's free it's limited in functionality. We chose SysAid as it has all the features we desired such as strong change control, and more extras such as the remote support function …
Chose SysAid
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 …
Chose SysAid
Better support than open source solutions. It provides a better overall design to get an overview of the whole IT system. To configure redmine you need some programming knowledge or search for plugins and solutions on forums. Sydaid has a proper helpdesk which you can contact …
Chose SysAid
SysAid, compared to other helpdesk software, was reasonably cost-effective; they provided seamless integrations and were willing to redesign the software to meet our needs. One of their current features that is winning with my organization is the SysAid bot. This is a great …
Chose SysAid
SysAid was better at including multiple modules than the competition. We also like the licensing options and price better than the competition.
Chose SysAid
Knowledge base, asset management, Teams Chat bot.
Vision Helpdesk
Chose Vision Helpdesk
At the time we switched from GrooveHQ to Vision Helpdesk, Groove lacked the features we were looking for and Vision Helpdesk had what we wanted at a much more affordable cost.
Chose Vision Helpdesk
I tried many different help desk systems, but finally I choose Vision Helpdesk as it is most affordable for a small business or small companies. As we are from Latvia, it is very hard to make business with lack of money. But we wanted to get a good product - it is the best …
Chose Vision Helpdesk
We have personally used Kayako for couple of years, but it lacks in terms of features and is very costly compared to Vision Helpdesk and has less features.We have [used] trials of Zendesk but it is SAAS based with many restrictions. Vision Helpdesk can offer a multi-company …
Chose Vision Helpdesk
Vision Helpdesk was more open for an NGO while the other companies were more attended on the "big-money", which we don't have as an NGO. Second point is that Vision Helpdesk is very easy and simple to use. Not too much installation, programming etc.

SysAid is Great for IT Support. Tickets can be easily entered using the portal that has a more modern look and feel. We have also used SysAid for our Customer Service Team. Tickets can come in through email or direct access through the cloud. They no longer get lost in the shuffle. Reports can be produced for the managers to better undersand where issues are.

Vision Helpdesk helps with multiple company support and offers an excellent Blabby feature. Another great addition they have made to this software is a service desk with an ITIL /ITSM feature. This helps with our our multi-location office requirements issues.

Pros
  • Ease of use for end users creating tickets from their own Self-Service Portal (which is tied into Windows Active Directory so no login is needed).
  • Ease of use and management of tickets by the IT staff.
  • Flexibility. We currently have IT teams associated with a single program, a single department, and all other IT items. SysAid allows us to easily manage this, add to it, change it, etc.
  • Support - SysAid support has remained consistently great throughout the years that we have had the product. That is a fairly rare thing for hosted solutions these days.
  • Expandability. We have a lot more that we can still do with the product and are working on expanding what it can do as we move forward in time. There is a lot to this product overall.

Because through SYSAID is how the operation of all IT is carried out and in this way the performance indicators of the services, systems, operation, trends, workloads, project control and their deviations are known; as well as the requests for changes and requirements that are requested by both users and that is where the system improvement projects are triggered, such as change controls, which by the way are audit topics.

For us it's really best solution.

Usability
It is a very simple tool to use, the training required to implement it is minimal and it is also very simple for end users. There is a quick guide to configure and it was the only thing we used to configure the tool. The response of the users was good to the implementation because they did not feel that it was a big change that complicated the request of tasks by the IT department.

Reliability and Availability
Another of the benefits of sysaid is that it is highly available when working in on-premise environments.The only times the system is down is when a restart of the services is required to add a new feature. Apart from that, we have not had any problems.In the case of the cloud, the only condition I have seen where sysaid is not available is because the internet link is down or damaged.

Performance
In the case of system performance, I have seen that no matter the number of assets and users, Sysaid responds in the same way and at the same speed. The reports that are scheduled do not have any details because they arrive directly to your email. In the same way, when it is integrated with other systems, for example through the API or by email, we have not seen any failure due to the integration. It works very well with or without integrations.

Support Rating
I have had nothing but positive experiences working with the SysAid support team. There are multiple pathways to request and receive support, which are all connected with each other. I get an efficient and effective response most of the time and when there is not immediately a good answer, they create a support request to follow up for resolution.

Support from Vision Helpdesk was rather lackluster. We uncovered a bug pretty early on in our use of the system and it took them about a month to fix it. Our internal admin of the system had to keep pestering them to get it fixed. It wasn't critical to our business but was something we needed fixed and it just seemed like they didn't care that much about fixing it.

My team was greatly assisted and trained well. Despite the time zone difference the trainer made every effort to be available during times that were suitable for us and the assistance and help offered was extremely appreciated by my team. A wonderful experience by the team.

Online Training
The training I received was very good, they gave me tasks to carry out and then they checked what I had done.It was gratifying that the instructor noticed that I had made very fast progress because I had done the implementation myself and it was very fast. At least I remember that after 5 days I had already finished almost 90% of all the implementation tasks.

Le doy esta calificación porque los módulos que contiene se pueden usar para casi cualquier departamento, tanto gestión de tickets como inventarios de equipos, hemos utilizado una versión gratuita en Ingeniería para gestionar sus tiempos en las tareas asignadas, es lo único que utilizan pero podrían usar fácilmente el módulo de inventario para su herramienta y el módulo de proyectos también
