Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Cloud storage with no hardware needed and great comprehensive reports
The software is cloud-based, so I do not need to store any data locally. It is a fully software-based solution, eliminating the need for investment in hardware. We have the capability to create reports as needed. It is good software to use, as there were no incidents where I needed to contact technical support. Additionally, it is free software.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"The technical support is good."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"It lets us know whether devices are getting out of date and tracked warranties. Spiceworks also gave me visibility in terms of what software was installed on each device and its status."
"The solution can find all asset details automatically, whether it's a Mac address, computer name, IP address, models, etc. It's very helpful."
"The most valuable features are the inventory and personalization."
"The software is cloud-based, so I do not need to store any data locally."
"Tickets by e-mail, with actions by hastag."
"Helpdesk and inventory are both equally valuable, and they form the true core of the product."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to manage."
"The solution is very stable. It's reliable and efficient."
 

Cons

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"Sometimes, it can be difficult to integrate what you need."
"Once a device was recognized on the network, Spiceworks never got rid of it even after you took it off the network. You had to go in and manually remove it."
"I would like to see more information when drilling down into access permissions, assignments management, or tagging. When I click a note or a device, I should be able to see more details about the router and modem. For example, I want to see the version, downtime, availability, latency, etc. I should have easy access to everything about our assets at a glance."
"The customer service is okay, however, I would appreciate much more clarity on what I want to know exactly."
"Having an integrated asset management tool, where I can plug in things that are offline, would be good."
"I am unable to provide suggestions for improvement at this moment."
"The GUI must be improved."
"It would be nice to have remote access to the solution via a tablet. They also need remote control from a PC. Right now, to complete the technical support process, you have to have a tool to access the PC, and check the problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It might be about $300 annually for a bigger company. If you pay annually, it's better and cheaper."
"It's free."
"The tool is cheap."
"Seeing that it is a low-cost solution, I would advise you to go ahead with Spiceworks and experiment with it to see if you can get things working properly, especially if you currently don't have any existing service desk software in place."
"The product is free! Get it now."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
