Spiceworks! I'm Lovin' IT.

Let me count the ways that I love Spiceworks!

  1. Documentation - The User Portal allows me to create wysiwyg help documents for myself as well as my clients.
  2. Helpdesk - The ability for my clients to quickly login using their AD information and log a help request allows for great communication and responsiveness to their issues.
  3. Inventory - Network scanning of systems for WMI information allows me to get a great view of my current systems as well as the new systems that show up on my networks.
  4. Reports - I can run reports on anything in the system. Reports are easy to create and customize.
  5. Community - A huge IT community of like minded people help each other readily and provide answers to questions about Spiceworks and about any other question - both technical and non-technical.

These are just the things I use the most in Spiceworks. There are plenty of other as you can see here: http://www.spiceworks.com/product/. And did I forget to mention that it is all FREE! That is right - Free. Doesn't cost a cent to use. You can pay for a version that strips out the ads if needed but even that is ridiculously cheap.
