In our company, we are using Sendbird for building a chat feature within our salon application.  I am using the Flutter framework to implement the chat feature, which facilitates communication between users and businesses, specifically salon shops There are many useful features with Sendbird. I…

A solution that streamlines ticket creation for the staff members of a business and enables efficient issue resolution by the IT team
SysAid is similar to Nintex AssureSign. Some of the back-end configurations of the solution are very difficult. So, we always need SysAid's help. Also, there are almost too many features that we are not taking advantage of in our company since we don't even know about them. A little bit of a streamlining or simplification of the main features would be a good improvement. I would like to see SysAid present its solution more easily. There is a lot in the solution, and it is more than what we need in our company.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Sendbird is very flexible, and they have made great strides towards optimization."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
"The backend system was managed by Sendbird, eliminating the need for caching systems or local storage on user devices."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
"The Sendbird developer portal provides each step, including methods, making it easy to implement."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
"The simplicity of the solution is excellent."
"The solution can scale."
"SysAid provides us with multilayered service management and all of our support pieces integrated into one system, making our service and support systems much more transparent for everyone in the business and helping us deal with resources more flexibly."
"The solution provides us with multi-layered service management along with all our support pieces integrated in one system. Our entire system is run on SysAid, from Tier 1 to Tier 3. All the other IT department functionality is captured in SysAid, like development, warehousing, and application. So, it has vertical and horizontal coverage."
"SysAid is more user-friendly, and its configuration is easier than other tools."
"The only way we could have managed that growth was by having an application like SysAid."
"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."
"Overall the administrative side does save you costs in terms of resources and time."
 

Cons

"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information. Initially, I struggled to connect users and manage tokens for active and offline sessions, which caused frustration."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"The automation needs improvement. The workflow has some improvements to do."
"From my perspective, it's a little bit of a legacy system in our IT landscape."
"The administrative side of the user interface could be a little more user-friendly."
"SysAid has fewer AI features compared to other tools."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve their mobile product."
"There is a learning curve for the users."
"This means the facilities people can see every ticket that is in the support queue, which is not great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
"Overall, the price is good. It's all about what you get for the base amount. From my perspective, you want to look at what you're getting out-of-the-box. SysAid does a good job of putting key stuff in the box for you."
"Once you're interested, talk with SysAid. You can have them come in and look at your company and advise you on the best solution. They will tell you what comes with each separate package and also advise you what application to activate. If you want something that they don't have, they have a department that can design something based on your unique requests."
"SysAid is a good solution, especially from a pricing perspective."
"We saw our investment back at the end of year one."
"The pricing of SysAid is less than its competitors."
"Though I am not really sure about SysAid's prices, I know that it is competitive compared to some of the other products that our company looked at, like ConnectWise and ServiceNow."
