Motadata ServiceOps vs. Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk

Well suited if a service desk is needed and you need to manage IT admins. It helps to sell IT services and deliver them to the clients more efficiently.

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.

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.

Very easy to use. GUI is self explanatory. We normally do not have to tech new users on how to use the system, they can simply start working because e of the simplicity.

Spiceworks is user friendly and easy to set up. It can be customized to suit your needs. If there are any problems, you can go to the community forums for support and be in contact with many IT Pros, as well as the Spiceworks support staff and development teams who are always happy to help users out

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.

The support is superb - fast and ready to help. The team is really motivated to help not just to close the ticket. It is one of the best IT related support experience s ever.

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

Motadata has a way better support from vendor and local partners. And Motadata is a one comprehensive absolutions not a bunch of modules connected together.

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.
