Excellent service, incredible value

They are incredibly customer focused. Our reps are very attentive and see to any questions we have or additional needs we bring to them very quickly and efficiently. For a company that runs on AI, they bring a very personal touch to the experience.

PROS

Electric AI has been an incredible partner in bringing our entire IT environment up to the standards needed as our company has scaled. They have taken so much work from the Operations team in the "Help Desk" area and been vital in sourcing solutions to manage our work more securely and efficiently than we could have on our own. The value they bring for the price is massive, especially when you consider what the cost of bringing IT management in house with a salaried employee.

CONS

There are some finder details of onboarding that we still need to finesse manually, but Electric is constantly improving their portal for technology resourcing and this issue has consistently diminished over our time with them.

Reason for choosing Electric AI

We chose them because of their incredible value (they blew everyone else out of the water,) and because they integrated with Slack, which is already the hub of communication in our business.

Great marketing, good ideas, poor execution

I like the concept. I think COVID caused Electric to scale hard, and they scaled in very incorrect ways. Instead of relying on technology, everything is click script done by a human. I don't know how our agents wound up deviating from said scripts so often, but this is ultimately the issue with humans - they make mistakes. My CS rep was awesome, he could not have been more understanding and dedicated to making the partnership work, and I felt awful constantly having to raise QA issues with him. The product team seems to have the right ideas. One specific product person I spoke with was very understanding of how the issues we were facing seemed to manifest, and we appeared in agreement on how technology and automation was the key to the success of the product. I appreciated her willingness to sit down and chat about the health of the partnership. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Electric in this current form. Without key investments in automating against well documented and established SaaS APIs, there is too much human involvement. Almost every task requires one of your employees to double check their work. I'd be very curious to see how the product functions in 12-24 months once they get through some more of their roadmap.

PROS

I love the accessibility of the Slack-based helpdesk. Feels more conversational, more organic, less clinical than typical email based IT. My customer success manager was committed, insightful, and a great asset.

CONS

Quality of service was the #1 issue on a consistent basis. Tickets of the same exact nature would be handled in different ways depending on the agent or the day of the week. Administrative access was granted to users despite explicit instruction to never do that on multiple occasions, despite numerous reiterations of process. It would take hours and constant prompting to get updates to tickets or to close any kind of loop. Many promises made during the sales process wound up being completely untrue, such as DIY JAMF/MDM policies, and being given the JAMF/MDM config/instance when the contract expires. Onboardings were executed on time but with regular mistakes, such as missing group memberships or typos or putting their new work email in as a personal secondary email. Paid projects executed through the project management team were executed poorly, such as not taking backups before large-scale email migrations that wound up having issues with no backups to rely on. In the waning days of our contract, onboarding requests were marked as completed despite having absolutely no progress made. Even now after having cancelled our contract, they continue to try and bill our card for a contract extension that was cancelled, even after direct outreach to have them stop.

Electric is an invaluable resource for my company

My overall experience with Electric has been fantastic! Admittedly, it was rocky at the beginning but I believe that's merely from not clearly knowing each organization's expectations. But once that was rectified, it's been an amazing experience ever since. I've experienced nothing but the highest level of customer service for the most part and truly depend on Electric for our IT needs.

PROS

The ease of accessibility, their quick response time, and the customer service. And Quality Assurance Analyst Dyran White has been an absolute godsend for us!

CONS

I've had mostly positive encounters, however, one of my more recent interactions was negative in that I was clearly dealing with someone from another country and the language barrier made it quite difficult to communicate efficiently and effectively with them. I had to repeat myself and it was quite time-consuming having to repeatedly explain my needs.

Very Helpful IT Resource!

My overall daily interactions are typically very good! They are prompt, helpful, and I appreciate all their efforts.

PROS

I have worked with Electric for almost 3 years! We have had our ups and downs but overall I am happy with their performance! Each tech that I speak with is knowledgeable and friendly. They are responsive and troubleshoot an issue from beginning to end. I appreciate the constant communication through Slack.

CONS

Although they are responsive, sometimes it does take some time to arrive at a solution (this happens rarely).

Business is struggling: Layoffs and Leadership effecting customer experience.

Our journey with Electric AI was fraught with challenges. An initially promised dedicated account manager was overshadowed by company changes, impacting our onboarding.Service quality wavered, especially with our Microsoft and Meraki license deployments. A Meraki licensing error halted our operations for two hours. Electric AI couldn't help, leaving us to solve the problem alone.Communicating concerns to their executives yielded unsatisfactory responses. Issues included license over-purchasing, incorrect assignments, and missing security software deployments.Considering Electric AI's premium rates, the value for our investment was questionable. While they have potential as a leading IT provider, our experience prompts caution for potential clients. If Electric AI addresses these issues and prioritizes customer experience, they could reclaim their status as a top managed IT provider.

PROS

Initial Promises: The company began with the assurance of a dedicated account manager, indicating a willingness to provide personalized service.Potential for Growth: Their internal restructuring suggests that they are aware of issues and are attempting to pivot or grow, which might indicate a forward-thinking approach.Investment in Customer Success Team: The existence of a customer success team showed an initial commitment to client satisfaction and experience.

CONS

Unfulfilled Commitments: Despite the promise of a dedicated account manager, the experience didn't align with initial assurances.Impact of Internal Changes on Customers: The major layoff and other internal challenges directly impacted the onboarding process, indicating a lack of contingency planning.Lack of Responsiveness: Despite reaching out to the highest levels of customer service, concerns weren't adequately addressed, which can be a red flag for future support interactions.Trust Issues: The initial setbacks created a foundation of mistrust, which can be challenging to overcome in a business relationship.Prolonged Resolution: Even after expressing concerns, the expected resolution time was significantly longer than anticipated.

Reason for choosing Electric AI

When I initially signed up with Electric AI, I was under the impression that I was investing in a top-tier service. Their rates were among the highest in the industry, and after speaking with several current users, I felt confident that the premium price would correspond with premium service.However, my experience turned out to be significantly different from what I anticipated:Staff Layoffs: Soon after I began my onboarding process, Electric AI underwent major staff layoffs. This internal change directly impacted the quality of service and attention I received. While I understand that companies undergo restructuring, the ripple effect on customers, especially without adequate communication or contingency plans, was deeply unsettling.Leadership Concerns: Beyond the staff changes, there were evident leadership challenges that further exacerbated the situation. Whether it was a lack of clear communication, delay in addressing pressing issues, or an overall disjointed approach, the leadership's handling of these transitions was far from ideal.In hindsight, while the company might have been a top choice in the past, the changes they've undergone over the last year have taken a toll on their service quality. I genuinely hope Electric AI can turn things around, but for potential customers reading this review, I recommend proceeding with caution and considering the current climate of the company before making a decision.

Reasons for switching to Electric AI

The business [sensitive content hidden] was retiring and recommended Electric AI as a provider among others.

Run Don't Walk to Find Another IT MSP

Terrible.

PROS

Nothing. This was one of the singular worst service experiences we have had as a business in almost 20 years.

CONS

The fact that they were unable to deliver the service we contracted for. Only a small portion of machines were being managed correctly with their MDM. Their system for managing hardware, Turbine, is a disaster, and their help desk was more or less useless, resulting in my staff managing their IT issues. A total failure.

Reason for choosing Electric AI

We believe the it of IT as a managed service was a good one and still is. Electric is just an awful provider.

Finally. An end to fractional IT woes!

Electric pretty much solved our IT woes. Huge improvement in quality AND cost.

PROS

Electric has vastly improved IT service delivery and response time while cutting our cost by 40%. Fractional IT is not around when you need them and in the office when unneeded but Electric is always there to respond. We pursued SOC certification and Electric was integral to implementing requirements, rolling out new services, and documenting everything.

CONS

Does not assist with phone systems. Printer support can be spotty from offsite. There was a bit of short staffing on their special projects team for a while but they seem to be fixing that and it hasn't been a big issue.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Charles!

Mostly frustrating to work with

PROS

It is easy to get someone onboarded. You configure the settings once and it's super easy from there. It's also nice that they have a remote inventory.

CONS

The level of their basic customer support is sub par. There are some talented engineers but you rarely deal with them. Electric caused us many headaches because of carelessness.
