    Chose SysAid
    SysAid is simple to set up and gets online compared to Jira and Zendesk.

    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.

    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.

    I can't comment as we did not demo either product.

    Chose SysAid
    Sysaid is a budget software for the most part. It gives similar functionality but a smaller community, more outdated platform, and, for lack of a better term, "clunkyness". In my opinion, the big competitors give better features, smoother UI, and a deeper community for a bigger …

    Chose SysAid
    SysAid was a better price and offered more for ITSM than Zendesk did. Zendesk was more customer based whereas I needed more of a company-based solution. I wanted this to manage internal tickets and not for outside tickets. this helps make sure that our employees are having a …

    Zendesk doesn't comply with ITSM/ITIL guidelines and we were not able to manage tickets based on their type.

    Chose SysAid
    SysAid is a completely different product and althought ZenDesk may have it's looks, it is badly implemented and badly designed for IT interfaces, requiring multiple add-ons and paid integrations. SysAid has everything you need out of the box and is built for IT admins, which …

    Chose SysAid
    Other software were either more expensive or were lacking some features. We looked at Freshservice a year ago but the gain was not enough to cover the more expensive product and the cost of changing the ITSM. Zendesk is well known, but lacks some features like an asset manager. …

    Chose SysAid
    I have used all four of these software suites quite extensively in different jobs. I have found SysAid to be the most straight forward and easy to navigate.

    Chose Zendesk Suite
    There is no comparison between SysAid and Zendesk. They occupy the same space in terms of what function they serve, but they could not be more different in terms of usability. SysAid does not allow you to use the back button in any browser, but instead forces you to use the UI …
