Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, Atlassian, BMC and others in IT Service Management (ITSM)."When we met with the Alemba vFire from Australia, it was a good discussion and they have a good feature roadmap."
"The workflow is very good, as well as customizable."
"Incident Management is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It tracks everything that the technicians are doing. We can account for time and manage resources."
"I would say the overall flexibility of the product is its most valuable feature."
"All our service management is integrated into one system. Our response time is much faster because we have a visual into what is going on."
"The simplicity of the solution is excellent."
"The service desk automation and orchestration are very good. We are implementing it at the moment. We implemented it for two of our applications already for our CRM. Whenever there's a change in the CRM, it will automate them into SysAid as well. We have two workflows from our CRM into SysAid, which is very helpful. Overall, we're very happy with the workflow."
"The solution can scale."
"The SysAid team provided excellent service to implement the solution for us. From the very first day, we received a comp manager, and a project manager, to implement the product. They continued to inquire about our business needs and then finalized the best path for us."
"SysAid is more user-friendly, and its configuration is easier than other tools."
"We had issues with the user interface, the way it was structured wasn't that user-friendly. The chat features could improve. For example, in change management, all the chat discussions can be done via ServiceNow. We are using two separate solutions, such as Teams, to chat, and the Alemba vFire tool to process."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"The product should improve its ability to integrate with third-party tools."
"Currently, SysAid does not have a mobile application."
"SysAid has fewer AI features compared to other tools."
"So far, we're very happy with the new integration. The only thing that I would like to see is for them to improve asset management so that it's more usable. We looked at it once and we didn't find it quite usable for us. That's why we didn't use it. We haven't looked into the new one yet but the asset management is something that can be improved even more and patch management is not as good as it could be."
"The administrative side of the user interface could be a little more user-friendly. It is easier for me to export our reports into Excel, then do a server retrieval and get the information. Whereas, to do a report, you have to go through a configuration type of process, which is kind of difficult and complicated. I have been using this solution for two years now and I still haven't gotten the hang of the reports."
"There is a learning curve for the users."
"We would like them to approve the security functionalities, e.g., management security features."
"Some of the back-end configurations of the solution are very difficult. So, we always need SysAid's help."
"The automation needs improvement. The workflow has some improvements to do. There's some stuff that they are working on like having cascaded fields. For example, we're categorizing tickets by location, by site and by building and then by data room within a data center. At the moment they're all separate fields."
