Systems analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Goes above and beyond. " August 15, 2019 5.0 We were looking for a product to easily push out software. Syam had the way to do and fairly simple. The other features were an added bonus and saved us money. We also switched to their helpdesk solution as well Pros Not only does it do power management, it also does inventory, helpdesk ticketing, pushes out software and patches, integrates into your network and chrome or Apple devices. Also you to manage your mobile devices. All around great product that ties multiple features into one product. Cons Lots of emails for the ticketing system but with email rules it can be managed or there is the option to turn off alerts. Alternatives considered [Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk](https://www.capterra.com/p/102709/Spiceworks-IT-Help-Desk/) Reason for choosing SyAM Software All in one product unlike everything separate and easy to use. Review Source Response from SyAM Software August 16, 2019 Stephen Thank you for your positive review. Its great to hear that our features are benefiting your school district with managing your assets. We've enjoyed working with you rolling out SyAM over the last few years. I agree the emails from ticketing can be overwhelming and we've got changes in the pipeline to enable more control around alerting. Nick TK Tim K. Director of Systems Technology Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Multiple Implementations" August 22, 2019 5.0 I've worked with some other, similar products before, and this is by far the most capable. Additionally, the company is U.S. based and support is almost always available the same day with quick resolutions. Pros It does exactly what you need it to in terms of Asset Management, Remote Support, and software deployment Cons So far I haven't had anything bad that hasn't been able to be resolved Alternatives considered [ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/179501/ManageEngine-Service-Desk-Plus/)[Track-It!](https://www.capterra.com/p/67028/Track-It/) Reason for choosing SyAM Software Past experience with all three products. Syam was the most hand-on company and personally cared about my implementation. Switched from [Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk](https://www.capterra.com/p/102709/Spiceworks-IT-Help-Desk/) Spiceworks was pretty, but slow and that was a huge detriment to the environment. Review Source Response from SyAM Software September 2, 2019 Tim, Thank you for your review. Glad to hear the features are covering all of your asset management requirements. Will be in touch later in the month to see how the Help desk roll out is going. Nick JM John M. technical support specialist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review" July 15, 2019 3.0 Pros The software offers many different services. The help desk ticketing portion of the system is well done. Cons Some aspects of the system are not intuitive and in return the software can be very complicated to use. Support has been great however in helping navigate though some of the tougher features of the software. Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 17, 2019 John, Thank you for bringing up your concern of the ease of use. I'll be in touch shortly to setup a training, that way we can cover all features and help improve the use of the software. Nick SJ Sharon J. network Analyst Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Syam Software" August 16, 2019 4.0 Customer support is outstanding! Representative always responds immediately to any request for help. Their level of assistance and training far exceeds any other software vendor by far! Having so many software components integrated into a singular software package has improved productivity, efficiency and overall software costs. Pros We use this software for our Asset Management, Ticketing System , MDM, Power Management, alerts on server/computer health, storage issues, reporting on what software is installed on our computers and remote access to our clients. We also have the ability to push 3rd party software to our computers . The Asset Management has helped us with our Inventory, assigning devices to staff and students and has been beneficial to us in collection of chromebooks at the end of the year. The import and export functions have been of great value to us. The ticketing system has allowed us to work more efficiently. Our users are able to create tickets easily by going to our helpdesk portal or by launching the desktop icon from their system tray. By customizing the ticket system, we are able to get as much information from our users immediately for us to assess and address the problem as quickly as possible and in some cases tickets are automatically assigned to a technician. We are also able to take advantage of the remote desktop feature directly to assist our users if a visit is not necessary. The MDM has been the best solution for our District. We have purchased and trialed many different products and have found Syam the best for managing our iPads, Apps and Apple TV's . We just got Google Integration into the MDM. We are still exploring this, but have found it to be very helpful already. Our technicians are just starting to use this feature but their feedback has been positive. Cons I really have no Cons. If there is something we think would be useful to us, it is usually addressed in an upcoming update. Review Source Response from SyAM Software August 21, 2019 Sharon, Thank you for your detailed review. I'm glad the hear the features incorporated into the software are greatly assisting your school district. Its been great working with you and getting feedback. Nick LR Lauren R. Helpdesk Coordinator Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SyAM Software" July 9, 2019 4.0 SyAM has been a good solution for us this last year. We were looking for a system which could help us eliminate multiple vendors and costs for MDM, inventory, helpdesk, power management and software installs. We are actively working with SyAM to discuss desired features and adjustments to the system and are thankful they are willing to be part of the conversation. Pros We have tried many helpdesk/MDM/inventory systems and this one is very intuitive to learn. The customization level is decent and the support from the company staff has been amazing. Someone is always a phone call away and willing to explain or remote into the system. Their support documentation is also very detailed which makes it easy to follow along with steps to something you are unfamiliar with. The MDM groups system is wonderful. This saves us a lot of time over previous systems that we have used. Moving from bucket to bucket is also a breeze which makes things quickly. We have not full explored he functionality of features such as remote access or the machines "health" statues. We plan on using SyAM for the foreseeable future and I look forward to exploring more of its features. Cons The cons that I have about this software seem to all be items SyAM is working on, which is nice. The MDM system currently does not allow assignment based on ID's like some other systems. Currently the helpdesk system is not integrated with Google SSO sign in for our organization, which does not allow us to use the helpdesk end-user portal. In the future they say this will be possible and we are very much looking forward to it! I would also love to see an upgraded UI. Things like color coding, clearly labeled organization, and graphic design go a long way with technology staff. Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 18, 2019 Lauren, Thank you for your review, I'm glad the help desk roll out has gone well. I will let the staff know that the online help and documentation are helpful.. Please be assured we are working hard on bringing the features requested for MDM and Google integration Nick PM Pamela M. Director of Technology Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SyAM one stop for all!" July 15, 2019 5.0 It has been exceptional! Pros By using the SyAM applications - it has reduced the time in so many different ways. Making the daily work load so much less than it was. We use SyAM for asset management , one benefit is that is has taken away the task of touching each machine to grab the mac address for MAC authentication. We just run a report and grab it from the SyAM asset management application. It also helps us with our yearly inventory report that needs to be presented to the BOE. We use SyAM for our MDM - by using SyAM we touch the machines once when they come in and then we never see them again unless the screen breaks. We use SyAM for our ticketing system. We had a reduction in staff this year and the ticketing system has been amazing. When a ticket is created - it is sent out to the techs and they are able to respond in a reasonable time, making everyone happy. I am so glad we have this system. The support from SyAM is fantastic. I have never been disappointed. Cons I would like to clean up the ticketing system so it flows better for the end user. I am pretty sure this is on my end not SyAM. I can't really think of anything that we do not like about the software. Switched from [Cisco Meraki](https://www.capterra.com/p/176649/Meraki-Systems-Manager/) SyAM had more to offer at the time Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 17, 2019 Pam, Thank you for the kind words on our support, I'll let everyone know here that they are doing a great job. Glad to hear that our software is helping on all fronts of your IT department. Will be in touch to work on updating the ticketing system to utilize all of our features and assist with the additional workload due to the staff reduction. Nick RS Richard S. IT Supervisor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software" July 8, 2019 4.0 Syam has help us get a control on our assests and management of the desktops/laptops from one location. Been using the software for 5 plus years. The last school district I was in started using. So when I started with a new district that had the software but was not using it. I contacted support to get it up and running. They actually made several site visits to assist in the setup of the software. Pros It is a great tool to manage desktop and laptops. We were able to deploy secure browsers to all of our desktop and laptops that needed the browser install. We have been able to update Java and Internet browswers with a few simple steps. Our iPads are easier to track now and deploy APPS to them using the SyAM software. We were able to save the district over $15,000 a year by switch to Syam for the IT ticketing system. We are able to ask for more inforamation when a ticket is being entered by the end user. Asset management has been help also. Cons When switching from the ticket system to asset management you cannot have two tabs open with each showing up. Reason for choosing SyAM Software It was in place and had used it in the past. Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 9, 2019 Rich, Glad to hear about the savings and all of the functions you're utilizing with SyAM. Lets discuss the use case for the multi screen asset/ticketing requirement Nick SO Steven O. Director of Technology, Learning, and Innovation Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SyAM Software Review" August 15, 2019 5.0 Workflows are better than ever. We have a great handle on our assets. Overall a great product for the money. Pros The product is a one-stop shop for all our asset management and ticketing needs. We also have some specific circumstances in our district and the developers of the product have been excellent at providing customized solutions in a timely fashion. For example, we were looking to at an insurance module for our student Chromebook program and that functionality is now built into the system. Customer support is absolutely top notch. New features that we haven't asked for but are quite helpful are constantly being added to the platform. For example, we have a full mobile device management system which is also being heavily used by my techs. Cons Early on in our adoption of the product, the software could be buggy at times. Instances such as this are quite rare. Other than that, I have not complaints about the software at all. Review Source Response from SyAM Software August 16, 2019 Steve Thank you for your review. It's been great working with you on the Ticketing and Chromebook Insurance and are grateful to have feedback from your team to make the product even better. I'm glad the MDM roll out has been helpful in managing your mobile assets. Nick RP Roberta P. CIO Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Automating processes" July 22, 2019 5.0 Distributing software is easy once you understand their process. They work with you from the beginning through all processes. They still keep in touch and ask if there is anything they can do to help. Their help desk is a little difficult to set up but after that it is easy and informative. Pros The software allows you to automate many processes. The team works with you to customize what they already have in production and then works with you on any add-ons you would like. Their assistance in setting up the software and working with you every step of the way to make sure you are successful. Cons there isn’t much to say here, they are helpful and stay in touch. Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 24, 2019 Roberta It's been a pleasure working with you over the last few years and look forward to the new roll out this summer. Nick MR Matthew R. IT Tech Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software for everything" August 15, 2019 5.0 It is the best product for schools if they want to figure out what they have in place in all their buildings. The support and customer experience is fantastic. It is a company that is always hands-on with their customers. If there are problems with the software I always get support within the hour or at least one business day. Pros I like how it can do almost anything we can think of. It helps us not have to use so much manpower for projects and implementation. It is easy to navigate and use for anyone. Cons only thing is sometimes it can be buggy. The support staff has been great with resolving issues but it does happen. Review Source Response from SyAM Software August 16, 2019 Matt Thanks for your kind words. Its been great working with you as your roll out more of our features. Unfortunately, no software product is perfect, and we try our best to qualify all types of environments on the new features. I appreciate your communication and access to resolve any issues quickly and with minimal disruption. Nick GH George H. Lead Technician Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Multi-Role Software with great support" November 8, 2019 5.0 With SyAm we have a much needed platform for energy management, resource management and mobile device management. Pros I love the ability and support to be able to customize it to our needs. I like the real-time updates, the reporting structure, and the ability to customize templates including the automatic e-mail responses. Cons While the end user sees a very simple interface, the mid-level needs a bit of training to interact with the system. The KB is a bit clunky. Alternatives considered [Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk](https://www.capterra.com/p/102709/Spiceworks-IT-Help-Desk/) Reason for choosing SyAM Software Overall capabilities of the platform. Review Source Response from SyAM Software November 11, 2019 George Thank you for your review, I'll send your feedback on the KB and make sure that's improved over the next few months. NIck RF Ramon F. IT Operations Supervisor Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SyAM System at TON" July 8, 2019 4.0 The remote support to other PCs is very helpful for us, but like I stated above; wish we had the option to see users' second or third screen when they used. Pros 1) Site Manager Suite very user-friendly 2) System Area Manager very user-friendly 3) Remote Support is also easy to use - just wish we had the option to see users' second or third screen. Cons These are not 'CONS" per se but I just need to get more acquainted with the Management Utility modules. I have had worked on some features but I need more training on them. Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 9, 2019 Ramon, Thank you for your review. I'd be glad to schedule some time in the next few weeks to come in and provide more training. I will keep you posted as we investigate the ability for multi screen support. Nick JM James M.

We are working on simplifying the enrollment process and MDM user Interface. I would welcome the opportunity to come and present the new interface to get your valuable user feedback. Nick DM Dave M. Network Admin Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Find a better solution" July 8, 2019 1.0 Pros I really don't like anything about it. Maybe the web interface versus an application interface. Cons Extremely poor functionality. Saved filters often get removed and you need to recreate them. Cannot close multiple helpdesk tickets at a time. Response time even in a heavily resourced environment is poor. Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 9, 2019 Dave Thank you for your review, sorry to hear of the issues being experienced, I will follow up with Lauren on the filter issue. To close multiple tickets, click on the check boxes next to the tickets you wish to close. Next click on the red circle in the header, you can then enter a comment to be recorded within each ticket, this can be made public or kept private. Nick tR terry R. mis manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MIS Manage" August 15, 2019 5.0 Pros Ticketing, asset management, interface with GAC, remote control Cons I find the report function a little cumbersome Reason for choosing SyAM Software cost, support, it was developed to be used by an IT department Review Source Response from SyAM Software August 21, 2019 Terry, Thank you for your review, I agree with your comment on reporting and we are working on improving this feature.

IT Technician Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SyAM Review" July 15, 2019 4.0 Pros Once the software is setup, it is easy to manage and use. I personally use the Mobile Device Management part of the software the most. I believe it is cheaper per device then any of the other MDM software products currently on the market. Cons Sometimes, our SyAM server (which is local) will go down. It ends up using too much memory on the windows server. Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 17, 2019 Evan, Thank you for confirming the ease of use of the MDM management. I'll get in touch with Robert about reviewing what's causing the server issue. Nick CH Christopher H.

Nick CG Christine G. Instructional Technologist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SYAM ROCKS!" July 8, 2019 4.0 SYAM has helped my organization manage our fleet of ipads and customize preferences and apps by group. We have been very impressed with their level of customer service. Reps are quick to answer questions, explain functions, helped us set up the system, and even come visit us when we needed extra training. Pros SYAM is an awesome device management suite that allows remote management, energy monitoring and inventory management all in one. I like the level of detail I am able to see on individual devices as well as groups of devices. Cons The user interface is a little confusing in some areas. Syncing can be slow at times to the point where I am wondering if it is actually performing a task or is just hung up. It would be helpful to have a "working on it" indicator so I know it is working. Review Source Response from SyAM Software July 9, 2019 Christine, It's been great working with you and I'm happy to hear the iPads are now under control. Lets chat when I'm at your district next week about the 'working on it' message requirement. Nick AR Amy R.
