    I would suggest that in this product class, you get what you pay for. Although it is was sold as SAAS with a nearly 'plug and play' implementation, at least one full time highly trained admin is needed for ongoing support. I would advise a team implementation strategy.

    Snipe-IT is well suited to managed inventory, accessories, contracts, audits, and maintenance. Some features are specific to assets and others cover all types of items put into Snipe-IT. It is tedious to manage user equipment as kits are mostly not usable and checking in items from a user requires each individual item to be checked in.

    Cons
    IFS
    • Service requests, incident, problem, and change management
    • Knowledge mgmt is not-existent - the product uses a WIKI for it's own knowledge base.
    • Axios help desk does is not knowledgable and does not follow up on reported incidents
    • Training is incomplete - no real resources available except billable by the hour.

    At this point, we are stuck with it. We can't afford a change at this point.

    Snipe-IT is easy to use, fairly easy to install, and simple for end users to find their assigned equipment. Tweaking it does take some configuration outside of the UI with scripting, config file changes, and battling php configurations at times. The GUI is pretty well done for most day to day functions.

    Axios assyst outperforms JIRA in every aspect, JIRA is a good job system but when it comes to complex processes and configuration management then JIRA is simply not the right system.
