What is Spiceworks Help Desk?

Spiceworks offers a set of free tools for IT network management and help desk support ticketing. The inventory management system essentially provides comprehensive device information for asset management. The Spiceworks Network Monitor provides information on observed IT for problem tracking and server performance monitoring. And finally, the Spiceworks Help Desk Software lets IT personnel stay on top of issues across the network with a ticketing system. Help desk roles with role-based permissions and notifications allow tasks to be allocated across team members. If the user wishes to host Spiceworks apps and tools locally, then they are free. For cloud-based service, Spiceworks bills $12 per IT user per month, or $10 monthly per user if paid annually.

Spiceworks was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas, also with a European headquarters in London (since 2012), and was backed by multiple investors, notably Goldman Sachs. In 2019 Spiceworks was acquired by Ziff Davis, a division of J2 Global. It is now a J2 Global company, operating under the name Spiceworks Ziff Davis.

All business functions. The IT Department are the heaviest users, but the helpdesk is accessible to all staff in order to help them process technology support, project, and purchase questions.

Hey Security Practitioners! Here is the perfect free tool to install for performing a risk analysis on your network!

I use it in the information technology department here on my job. I am responsible for cybersecurity at my institution and Spiceworks is a great tool for performing risk analysis on our network. As a security practitioner, we are under staffed and we have a limited budget. Spiceworks is a great complement to the tasks of knowing what is on your network. If you don't know what is on your network, how can you protect it?

Spiceworks, can't miss!

Spiceworks is used by the IT department only. It is used for both research as well as for their help desk offering. We are also members of the community at spiceworks and try to both contribute and draw information from the community members. Attending the spiceworld party annually is something that is always welcomed.

Spiceworks makes submitting and managing IT support requests a breeze!

All users of technology in our company use Spiceworks for support of the technical tools we use for our business-our hardware, software and cloud based applications. These users cross sales, operations and support team members-some are customer facing, some are internal support team members. They range from entry level users to our senior leadership.
