I really like the SysAid self-service portal. It's very customizable and we can customize it to fit our needs rather well.
They have a good workflow designer and it's very easy to configure everything. You can configure anything at a code level or we can configure everything with some basic knowledge without having to go do code-level changes.
The initial setup is pretty straightforward.
Technical support is helpful.
The solution can scale.
The pricing is okay.

How are customer service and technical support?
Most of the time I will contact technical support through the tech portal if I have any questions or if I am doing something and I need to get verifications. I chat with them through the online chat portal.
They are good. When I contact them through the portal, it's the level 1 support. Sometimes they don't know how to answer the kind of issues I'm asking about, and, in that case, they will escalate via email and come back to us again.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy, and, on top of that, it's simple to configure and customize. It's not a difficult process at all.
We give support for the maintenance, which includes the customizations for our customers. If they don't have specific resources for doing customizations, we can jump in and assist. For example, if they need to create a new web-flow, if the customer doesn't have resources, we will do the maintenance part. Other than that, the implementation is easy and there isn't really a maintenance requirement as all the updates automatically get pushed live from the cloud.
What about the implementation team?
Our company is capable of providing implementation services to our clients.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Compared to others, it's reasonably priced. Compared with ServiceNow, they aren't very highly-priced, however, they are continuously increasing their price.

I have analyzed a few products, however, among them, SysAid is, in comparison, very easy to configure and customize.
What other advice do I have?
