Setyl

Stop using spreadsheets!

Comments: From the very beginning they were so helpful, and ensured we were using the software to its full potential.

Pros:

Like most small business we were using spreadsheets to track employees, equipment, and software agreements. That was unreliable, because it relied on imperfect humans to enter every detail. Setyl integrates with so many services we use, so we know immediately if HR has hired a new employee, or if an employee has left their laptop at a coffeeshop. It has also saved us so much money by helping us track software agreements, so we never have to rely on one person to remember to cancel an expensive service we no longer use.

Cons:

We would love to see a better breakdown of spending, but have no doubt that will come with upgrades.

Setyl use for managing assets in a mobile workforce

Comments: Superb, the company are incredibly approachable and have worked closely with us to ensure we were able to implement in the most efficient and usable way.

Pros:

The software is easy to navigate, easy to add equipment to and manage, and the developers are incredibly approachable. The most impressive thing is the huge improvement it has brought to our asset management, we now know exactly what we have, who has it/where it is and the condition of its maintenance program (where applicable). We are able to record inspections against the equipment, improving our due diligence, and store documents such as manuals, warranties and calibration certificates which, for all intents and purposes, means they are always available with the equipment.

Cons:

When we first started using the software the 'inspections' element did not suit us completely as any recurring inspection needed to be manually recreated after the previous one was signed off. This would have been too labour intensive. However we requested that on completion of an inspection a new one was automatically created at a pre determined frequency - this was introduced within a matter of weeks and was exactly as requested.

Alternatives Considered: Asset Panda, Checkr and AssetTiger

Reasons for Switching to Setyl: It ticked the most boxes, and the few that it didn't meet subsequent developments have addressed. It was also the best value option for us by some distance.

Great experience

Pros:

The main reason we selected Setyl was because of the ease with which we can keep track of all our agreements and the users who have access to them. In addition we store the information related to GDPR compliance for those agreements. And it works great for that! Also a big shout out to the support given by the Setyl team, they have been very helpful and have responded quickly to any requests we had!

Cons:

So far we are very happy with the product and Setyl has been very quick to respond to any features we felt would enhance the product for us. Like storing the GDPR related information, and the possibility to add pricing per person.

We Love It!

Pros:

Setyl has been super useful in our daily workflow. Employee onboarding is super helpful, and we LOVE the asset management features of Setyl. The support has also been phenomenal. Any time we have run into any issues with Setyl, their team is able to get on a call with us almost immediately to resolve our issue. They constantly have new things and features in the pipeline, and they are more than willing to share their roadmap. Our managers have really appreciated the updates that are sent out in relation to software that they manage as well.

Cons:

So far, the only issue we've had is in relation to login tracking for SaaS applications, but most of that is due to the SSO that we use, vs the SSO that they currently have support for.

Alternatives Considered: BetterCloud and Zluri

Reasons for Switching to Setyl: The cost of Setyl was very impressive and fit with us as a smaller company. The other options had a much higher cost and a minimum cost that didn't make sense for us. Additionally, we felt that the support and demo teams we talked to weren't as knowledgable about the offering as the team at Setyl was.

Simplified our Asset Management

Comments: Setyl has increased a smoother onboarding and offboarding experience for our office managers and has increased overall visibility on how many assets we have with all our employees. We have not yet focused on the agreements side of the tool yet, but that is due to come and we are excited to have Setyl helping us on that front too.

Pros:

The layout visualises the structure of onboarding, offboarding and active members and their assigned assets and licenses very clearly. Having the asset inventory so visualised is extremely helpful and handy. We never had such a tool before and tried to manage it with spreadsheets, but Setyl is so easy to understand and use so that it is a joy managing the asset inventory.

Cons:

Nothing to like least about Setyl. They are constantly evolving and every new product release is another great addition to the tool.
