"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 solution is very stable. It's reliable and efficient."
"Tickets by e-mail, with actions by hastag."
"The most valuable features are the inventory and personalization."
"Spiceworks is generic and free."

"The SNMP sniffer requires a lot of work to get right."
"There are a lot of disadvantages to Spiceworks because it's not an agent-based solution."
"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."
"With Spiceworks, like, when I open the websites, I have to Zoom in. I need to zoom in on those websites sometimes because it makes it horrible to use."
