Describe the project or task Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions helped with:

Cygnus has taken the time to understand our processes and our software packages. They assigned us a dedicated engineer who is most familiar with how we do things, but the additional specialists also strive to do so. Cygnus acts as an intermediary for us regarding our Agency Management System, which helps us not to have to wait on hold for help. Their complete care manages our on-site server and other office machines as needed. They are always available to us for issues in our office or at our home offices. Moving to remote work has been easy as they helped us be ready for this process. As they have grown throughout our relationship, their service only keeps improving. We have been with Cygnus for six years now and don't feel a need to interview any others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

It is so very helpful that they have learned our systems and software products so that they are fully able to diagnose problems and give us good sound advice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

There were growing pains at first. Once we learned that we didn't need to utilize their first line of service (is it plugged in?) and bypass it, the relationship bumps disappeared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

Please see above. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
Describe the project or task Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions helped with:

I have had multiple issues, since Cygnus Systems took over IT duties for RDS. I have usually been helped by either Holden or Kevin. I had an issue with printing bein defaulted to double-sided print, which was corrected. I also had an issue with Adobe Acrobat DC asking me to save all documents to a new name, each time I opened and revised the record in any way, creating multiple extra unnecessary steps. This issue was also fixed. Kevin did an excellent job in setting up my laptop and docking station for Windows 10 and Microsoft 365. The only negative issues I can think of is not having someone from Cygnus Systems in our office each day, and on occasion, it takes a while to get an issue resolved, either in the office or remotely. However, I have had help remotely, as well, from both Holden and Kevin, and they have always eventually resolved any issue I might be having with anything related to the laptop, server, Adobe Acrobat DC or the DRR Project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

They are accommodating, cordial and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

On occasion, a solution takes a bit longer than I would like, but they always get the task fixed to my satisfaction. In addition, I wish someone from Cygnus Solutions was in the office each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have explained any issues above, helped by Holden or Kevin, either remotely or in the office. They both have very good expertise and are always cordial and respectful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Scott Kube of Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions

Thanks for your kind words Steve. I'm glad our team, Kevin and Holden in particular, has helped you.

Describe the project or task Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions helped with:

We use Cygnus as our outsourced IT solution provider. They help with day-to-day tickets/questions from our users at the office and at home. They also assist us with special projects. We have 21 users, all who work at the office, and have a remote workstation as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

They don't nickel and dime you for charges outside the scope of their flat monthly fees. They are a partner and take time to develop a relationship with each client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

Sometimes we struggle to get timely or thorough answers on our phone system (Star2Star). That is the only thing I can pick on... so that's saying a lot! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions:

Talk to the existing clients who use Cygnus about their experiences. You won't be disappointed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a small staff, and the one employee in our office who serves as "point person" is able to do other tasks outside of IT. We benefit from the entire team of expertise at Cygnus while not having the burden of hiring a person internally to do all things IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Scott Kube of Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions

Michelle, I appreciate your review and am glad we've helped you and your company. Thank you.

Describe the project or task Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions helped with:

Cygnus helps with my day-to-day IT needs. Overall, a good service provider. People seem friendly overall. It does seem like there are some knowledge gaps within the staff, and if senior members find a solution, I wish the knowledge was transferred to other team members. I have one issue, in particular, that is frequent for my team and me. It seems we are consistently facing the same issue in our service request, and information as to how it was fixed is does not seem to be passed on to new team members. While it is usually resolved, it does take some time to do so, which can negatively impact my work and the clients we serve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

Friendly. Helpful and wanting to do a good job. I appreciate the fact that on occasion they have sent senior team members to the office to check-in and see how the services have been received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

As mentioned above, I think more transparency/knowledge sharing may need to happen internally at Cygnus. This may be specific to me/my team, but it seems like we face consistent issues with some of our requests as well as a longer-than-average wait to get it resolved. I also wish that some things (e.g., password resets) could be pushed through without having to schedule a call for a remote session. It seems like these could be done via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems would be general IT administrative issues. Stuart has been a great help on several occasions, helping me find workarounds to existing issues so I can do my job more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions helped with:

I was working remotely and my laptop would not connect properly to our office. Ivan helped and was able to recalibrate my laptop so that I was able to access all my files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

I like how patient and helpful the support team is. Over the phone or in person, I've always felt comfortable and confident with interacting with the specialists. Even if the issue isn't fixed at once, they keep working hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

I currently have not run into anything that makes me feel negatively towards the specialists or the company. If I had to choose, I would suggest there being more open hours or to recruit more specialists to help with large problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am having no problems that affect me personally. The benefits I've noticed though, is how easy it is to contact the team or submit a ticket. The response time is perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions helped with:

After a significant IT update on my computer, it was stuck in update mode. I called IT to assist me with resetting my computer properly to initiate the proper update. It took a few times and the IT tech manually taking over remotely for it to work correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

The tech knew how to troubleshoot the issue. I am very tech-savvy myself, but when the computer got stuck in the update, I was unsure what the proper commands were to initiate the update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions?

There was nothing to dislike. The tech knew what he needed to do even after the update was not working right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cygnus Systems Inc. IT Solutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

If there is an update issue, I know I can go straight to them to fix it before there is a more significant issue. The benefits I realized, is that they are always available to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took at least a week to resolve the issue and made it so I could not do some of my other work when they were actively addressing the issue as they needed me present for login purposes or had remote control of my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
