    We are able to get to the root of the issue much more rapidly this way, and we don't have to interrupt the end user in order to see how their computer is functioning. Systrack is installed on-premises at our company. Check out that hosted infrastructure if you're in the market for it. In a matter of minutes, you may move from one workstation to more than 100k.

    It's a great helpdesk solution - we currently have five years of data within it, roughly 25,000 tickets. The older edition is a great inventory and software license tracking tool. It is easy for users to use the interface and submit tickets and requests on the web, and its email integration is solid. The new version is a below-average system monitoring tool, only giving up/down status and a few other metrics.

    Cons
    Lakeside Software
    • Every new version brings new ideas and capabilities to the table
    • Because of the sheer volume of information available, it can be difficult to know where to begin
    • With enough time and skill, creating bespoke dashboards with meaningful titles may be effective

    • I have always wanted a way to redirect a support request into another IS bin, such as a development task.
    • It's possible to extract the data from the Spiceworks database, but it would be helpful if the process to do so were easier.
    • Improved ability to customize the system generated emails to improve the formatting and company branding.

    Spiceworks is a free tool, so there would be no hesitation if we are required to upgrade it. We have installed Spiceworks on a dedicated server with more than enough resources to get the most from this tool, so we will have this running in our department for years to come.

    We use it both locally on our own server so up time is decided by us and we also use the hosted help desk. We have never had an outage of that.

    Spiceworks has been working out of the box, and some of the basic customizations have been successful with just our internal staff handling. We don't have any other issues with the tool. It provides us with the inventory information we want in a quick and concise report in a variety of formats for our team.

    If you can spin up a VM to run it on, you'll thank yourself later. If you have remote sites, set up a local server (or dedicated computer) at each site and set them up as remote collectors for the main site. You'll save time and bandwidth

    Systrack is also used to provide baseline and post-change analytics for the testing of new applications and equipment. This gives me the confidence to install high-quality items that won't cause any serious problems for customers. These are just some of the useful tools Systrack offers to assess the digital experience and take appropriate action.

    EGroupware UI is clunky and hard to use, Jira is great but the pricing is expensive in comparison with spice works that has a free version and you can test it out properly before buying and make a correct decision based on your business plan and company objectives with the right software.

    Return on Investment
    Lakeside Software
    • It was easy to install Systrack to a group of virtual workstations while doing CPU utilization analysis in a virtual environment
    • You still need specialists to discover and fix problems in your environments with Systrack, but it will save you a lot of time
