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.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It’s fantastic because its free to use and easy to set-up in house, but it’s quite sluggish on the administrator end, but considering its free you cannot complain."
"I can tell you it works well and is stable."
"If you're in the market for a low-cost service desk system, Spiceworks is a good software solution to start out with, especially when it comes to startups and those organizations that don't currently have any existing service desk software in place."
"It shows the users that are currently logged in, which is not something that Active Directory by default will ever let you know up front."
"SpiceWorks is an easy to install and maintain inventory and help desk system for SMBs and it's free!"
"Its perfect for a start-up/small/medium company where you are trying to get the most out of a software package with as little cost as possible; and how can you go wrong with a free, stable and very useful software?"
"Customer Service: Over 10/10 as the user network is incredibly active."
"It helps us to monitor our network activity real time, and it shows the actual map."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
 

Cons

"Spiceworks could improve the upgrade procedure. It regularly fails and we have to use the workaround to get a new version installed."
"The ticketing system could be more robust, more like a service desk."
"As our database grew in size, so did the frequency we had to restart the application on the server."
"Yes, too many. We tried it on a VM, but we had to reboot every 2 days."
"They've also tried to integrate it with social logins, like Twitter and LinkedIn, and that type of login authentication has no place in a corporate application."
"The social and collaborative tools, such as integration to LYNC, Yammer, or equivalents."
"Mac networking needs improving, as everything has to be manually entered in a Mac environment."
"I would like to see the help desk product be more stable."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It might be about $300 annually for a bigger company. If you pay annually, it's better and cheaper."
"The product is free! Get it now."
"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."
"It's free."
"The tool is cheap."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."

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…
